Being British means taking pride in what this country has given to the world... art, literature, government, technology. It means being proud of being inclusive and multicultural (although it's okay to speak about immigration and Britishness without being a racist... some people on this thread are missing that), having taken in refugees for years... My own family for instance, was accepted here after the war and given a home. We've given more to aid Syrian refugees in Jordan than any other country in the world. Our troops were the first in to Africa to help with the ebola crisis and Brits are always first into areas after natural disasters.
There's nothing wrong with being proud of Britain, and if you hate it so much, if you disagree with the majority that you can being a proud Brit without being a racist... you can always try to find your Utopia somewhere else.

Yeh.. You see so many threads here (anywhere) from patriotic brits discussing literature and art haha. What world are you living in really? If thats what being British is, then I see next to no Brits on this forum. Have a look through the Britain First facebook page and have a look see what self-described "patriots" actually care about. You're in for a shock m8.
This post roughly equates to 'being British is pretending the bad stuff doesn't happen, and if you dislike the bad stuff then move country'
