I'll thank you not to stare name calling please, I am not 'racist' as English is not a race.

I am a mix of all the Countries of these islands, a mix of Scots, Irish and English as I was born in Worcestershire.
All I would say is I can well understand the frustrations and annoyance you are feeling currently.
Except mine is not with Britain as a whole,I am very proud to be British but rather less so being English.
With recent events.
What I am witnessing as to some of the most vile prejudices, from admittedly a likely minority but that's not certain,crawling out the woodwork and showing itself more publicly here in England recently now.
Certainly makes me feel sad and even ashamed at times of this particular part of the UK.
Like it clearly has yourself Kizzy.
I still would say I see some merit in this EU idea, whether it ever comes to fruition is another matter.
Anyway we do not now have to be any part of it now at all or even consider same.
Then again I am a supporter of the EU and will stay so, so I would have been likely warmer to this idea than most others.
