Default Are you proud to be British?

If so or not, why?

Not particularly. I find it a bit odd being 'proud' of where you happened to be born really.

I dont really think about it to be honest. I quite enjoy living in England and feel somewhat patriotic when we do well in sports and music but otherwise I dont think "Yo Im Jordan and Im a proud British man!"

Obvs I'm not British. Not particularly patriotic about being from the US. We have nice TV shows I suppose. Other than that I would say no.

Jesus **** no, The stereotypical British man is a complete ****. It turns my stomach a bit when I see people with flags. Why would anybody think its necessary?

I'm proud to be British. I don't think I've ever asked myself the question and here I am trying to work it out.

I don't know if it's just something I've grown up believing in. I like a lot of sport and so my pride is often tested as I watch the international games.

I like to travel too, so when ever I'm away and get talking with locals, I'm always overjoyed at telling them about my country. Also as much as I love to travel, I sure as hell look forward to returning home.

Very proud. Wouldn't want to be any other nationality. I do plan on emigrating sooner rather than later, but I will always consider myself British.

Oh and I will always be British, never English. England doesn't exists to me, nor Scotland Wales or NI. At the most, they're football teams.

I don't think of myself as being proud, but I always feel it whenever a foreigner says something good about here. It's part of who I am.

I get the feeling what was 'great' about the British is diluting, not due to any external factors, but there isn't the pride I feel there once was.

I used to be very proud, but to be perfectly honest, Britain is going to crap, leaving nothing to be proud of.

Absolutely, because we are literally the capital country of the world, and in ethical ways one of the most forward.

Not at all. The only thing I really like about this country, off the top of my head at least, is the crap weather (no, seriously).

I don't know if I'm proud to be British, but I'm happy I was born in this country, it's not the best country ever but it sure as hell isn't the worst

Absolutely proud and no reason not to be but i do despair of the spoilt brats that dont appreciate what they have and also of the dimwits that confuse pride in nationality with any bad connotations.

This is a great country. You compare it to a lot of the world, you don't realise just how good it is here. Our troubles are minute to a lot countries.

The one thing I really dislike about Britain is the dreary attitude that likes to make out we have it so hard here. It's nonsense.

Happy to be born and live here but I wouldn't say I'm proud since I find patriotism a dangerous concept.

I think of myself as Scottish and yes, I am a very proud Scot

I realise though that I am British too and think GB is a pretty fantastic part of the world.. I think a lot of people fail to see how lucky we are.
