Seems a bit strange to feel proud of being European but treat British patriotism with disdain though, we've always been one of the most important countries in Europe

I don't really get why the fact that nationalists use the flag means that people don't want to be patriotic either. If anything you are letting extremists have a monopoly on patriotism by doing that and anyway it's not all about flag waving and chest beating, it's about appreciating and enjoying the place that you were born, raised and have probably spent most of your life in
