Union Jack. Keep or destroy?

so what makes you proud to be english but not british ?

 

instead of talking loadsa bollocks can you please answer the question i asked you ?...........just incase you never grasped it the first time" i will repeat it in capital letters ..........SO WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE ENGLISH BUT NOT BRITISH ?

 

need an a to z

 

meaning?

 

are you saying you are or you are not proud to call yourself english instead of a brit ?

 

um, paul ... saw these guys posting in other forums and they seem like trolls really not honest people trying to comment

 

I thought Brits identified themsleves as being "from the Midlands" or
Cornish or Notherner or such ?

 

they've destroyed the country anyway, arguing about the flag needs to be put into perspective - it is an academic exercise.

 

Yea, same with the US....

 

i thought brits identified themselves as being from britain ( maybe i"m missing something ) i think people choose indvidually who they wanna be identified as like i identify meself as a earthling from earthland who is in scouseland instead of england( but thats just me )

 

after reading their posts i thought wow wow wow hope they go and give their heads a shake :stunned:

 

at the end of the day alo of people divide themselves because of accents (which is sad ) were all human man aer:uhoh2:nt we .

 

Nah, British is anyone from Britain, I'm British as Cornwall is a part of Britain, but I'm still Cornish despite that...the same way the English are British...as England is a part of Britain.

 

Crosses my mind that new citizans would find it easier to feel membership of a multi-faceted state. British rather than English.

 

I prefer to seperate myself from the English. I'm Welsh.

 

Of course you are entirely wrong about it being only the english and scottish flag

irelands flag plays its part too - the reason they didnt include the welsh flag is because I believe (at least this is what my mom once told me) that the welsh were considered to have offended the monarch and therefore were not celebrated on the flag - how true that is I dont know - but the flag was meant to celebrate union and it had something to do with the welsh defying the authorities by not speaking english

I am English but bought a house in Aberystwyth and lived there 5 years and found wales to be a very excellent country with a fantastic artistic and creative culture I went to many raves around Talybont - I loved the mines around north wales and the absolute loneliness of its mountains.
I was accepted by the welsh as a friend and made a great effort to accept the culture and learn from it and to not be some arrogant englisher with stereotypical ideas about the welsh - within a short time I even got invited to "lockins " at the local pub and it was a great community. I didnt want to return to England but circumstances got in the way. Those 5 years of roaming arount the hills and mountains, making friend in aber, and surrounding villages were the best 5 years I ever had.
I always said wales is the best kept secret in the british isles. Compared to wales, england is nothing but a polluted factory landscape - and a political sewer. Wales is a young vibrant culture where community counts and the beauty of the place is appreciated. I loved wales but economics forced me out - I couldnt get the work I wanted there
I will go back there one day
I believe it was best wales didnt have its emblem on that flag - the union jack was a mere slur on the integrity of the british anyway, the vast majority of whom considered the flag a trivial but all too evident symbol of Englands arrogance
burn the fucking thing for all I care - all it means to me is some rich snob in a palace and their parliament is our master and we are its slaves -

 

No don't...tis history!

 

Did you manage to learn some of the language, Sentient?:tongue:

I won't hold it against you if you don't. Surprised you got accepted into the community, most Northerner's won't even accept the Southerner's, let alone an English.

 

haha, such snobbery! I know some Welsh, my grandfather is half welsh/ irish. I don't know how to spell anything though. A kide a gig!

 

fuck off luke yer welsh ****...........by the way hollyoaks say hello
