| Kantor said: Fiercely nationalistic, for the most part. Have a look at the British members of the site. That is to say, English people are nationalistic. About England. Scottish people are nationalistic about Scotland, and so on. Not the United Kingdom. In fact, pretty much country in the UK except for Northern Ireland (correct me if I'm wrong there) wants four separate countries rather than one state. I personally take the view that more power, people and wealth for the country is always good. But then, if we separate from Scotland, Gordon Brown can't be Prime Minister. Hmmm, tempting. |
I'm "English" and don't like people separating the UK. In my view they are all British, when I am asked my nationality I say British, I speak English. I certainly don't want a separate state either, I don't see how it will benefit or help each nation.
Then I've probably met more English who just don't care then those who want to separate, 'English' identity comes from natonal teams in sports and that's the extent I can see in most people.

That's why I want a unified Europe. I think the Irish are more focused on religion then nationality. Then again, there's lot's of Irish people here in Belgium who are very proud of being Irish. |
I've called a Scot British before becuase that is what they are, they were born and live on the sland known as Great Britain, whether they want to deny it or not. Calling them English is wrong because they aren't.
Like this thread, I know I am European, I'll identify myself as British though. If someone called me European I wouldn't take offence. To take offence to it is a personal problem that you should see to.
Hmm, pie.
