Brits - Are you proud of your country?

Question

If so, why?

If not, why not?

Answer 1

Nothing wrong with the country.

Just the Pikeys that we seem to be breeding/allowing in.

Get rid of the sub-culture.

enforce the laws that we already have in place and end the enormous social security reliance.

Then we may have Utopia

Answer 2

Britain has always been among the most multicultural of nations. We were probably the first European country to outlaw slavery, and a major force in persuading other nations to abandon it.

We had some of the earliest anti-discrimination legislation, and have been a refuge for jews, ugandans, somalis, iraqis, and black americans.

We are mongrel to the core - ever since we first welcomed the Anglo-Saxons. This is most certainly something to be proud of.

Answer 3

I wish I could be, I want to be.

It is hard because of the many negative things in this country.

The multicultural walls that set all the religions apart, segregating people, forming "no-go areas" because of someone's skin colour etc.

Crime is on the increase, espcially violent crime, yet criminals are getting weaker sentences and punishments are soft.

Taxation is getting out of hand, there are more secret taxes than you could believe, stealth taxes set up by the PM when he was chancellor, and due to this, prices are on the up, and things like pets and stuff are being left out on the streets cos people can't afford to look after them.

The gap between rich and poor is widening.

The time people spend with their families is decreasing due to long hours at work and such, forming rifts between people.

Communities are becoming extinct, these days we live in towns but don't even know the names of our neighbours.

There are so many more out there.

There are good things as well but I feel the cons way out the pros.

So no, I am not proud to be english or british.  I am just another number, insignificant, and whether I live or die is not important.

Iv'e not been Patriotic or proud since leaving school and wiseing up to the fact that

Gang culture, knife crime and teenage pregnancy are the one of the highest in Europe. Proud? No, I'm ashamed.

Once I have left college and gone to university I'm emigrating.

Britain is the laughing stock of Europe.

Answer 14

No I'm not that's why I left. When I return to visit my family I see a country that is dirty, rough, full of immigrants and gangs on the streets. People who are afraid to go out at night. If you want to live there fair enough but I didn't so got out and will never go back.

Answer 15

I am proud to be British, but not of how this country is turning into a second home for immigrants.

Answer 16

4 million dolers, unlimited leeching immigrants, not really no.

Australia for me when the housing market picks up again, then some muppet with too much money will buy house for way over odds.
