Why after we’ve spent ages stripping away anything to actually be proud of?
Or is it that they haven’t figured that out yet?

I’m deeply proud of being British, why is it so difficult for people

Good, hopefully they won’t back down to the few that fail to see any good in our country and it’s people.

But I was told children had only been taught to hate Britain. Could it be the bleating sacks of piss in Reform are talking absolute cobblers?

Shame they’re not proud of the English language and are happy to use Americanisms.
Gotten, windshield, parking lot, airplane, poop, bathroom (instead of toilet) etc. are all words I regularly hear teenagers and twenty-somethings say.
And I’m also noticing (for example) ‚a couple weeks‘ instead of ‚a couple of weeks‘. Infuriating.

I think more people would be proud to be British if those who went around touting that they’re also proud to be British weren’t such bellends.

Isn’t this just because teenagers tend to be more right wing than their parents?

It’s a 4% difference, and both are just under half.

I thank the brits and my british ancestors for the abolition of slaves and for forcing cruel states around the world to abolish slavery as well, even though many of those polities still have slavery.
Otherwise there might be a chance that i’d be a slave.

I’m proud of being British. I am deeply ashamed of the British people who do not fit my view of what it means to be British. I am ashamed of the Brits who are racist or xenophobic. I am ashamed of the Brits who support populist political ideologies like reform. I’m ashamed of the frankly unbelievable number of unintelligent people in this country.

I wouldn’t say I’m „proud“ to be British, but I’m glad I am if that makes sense… as crappy as things are we have it so much better than a lot, so I’m thankful for that.

Always found it a bizarre question. It’s simply who I am – not about ‘pride’ or ‘values’.

I was told by apologists that I should be ashamed of where I’m from

A 4-5% difference is barely outside of the margin of error.

interesting. I am generally proud of my national identity but at this point in time, im not at all proud. So how would I answer this?
those pictures make me sad, i love seeing the union jack down the mall, proper flag holders and nice looking flags.
the shit i saw in my town today, half cabled tied up to a lamppost with a cash for cars advert above just reminded me where being held hostage by thugs and its nothing to do with national pride.
north korea is great at flag waving, the country, not so great.

Once again this idea of being ‚proud‘ of being born within a certain geographical boundary. So fucking weird. I did nothing to ‚achieve‘ being British , so how can I be ‚proud‘ of it? It’s just a bit of land, just like any other bit of land. I’m proud of my degree, I’m proud of my career , I’m proud of my best times on wipeout 2097. How tf can you be proud of a dice roll ?

Teenagers didn’t witness the UK participate in the unjustified and bloody invasion of Iraq, despite the largest anti war protests this country has ever seen.

I’m an American immigrant to the UK, and have been here long enough to the point that while I wouldn’t consider myself English, I do consider myself as British now alongside being American.
Even before our terrible president back in the states came into office, I feel much more proud to be British than being American.
This country nowadays has a lot to be proud of, but I think the cynicism of our society is too much. It’s got its problems but it’s really not that bad here.

Can we, please, just stop with the polls? We’re letting them shape the narrative every day we’re like a fucking herd of sheep
