Are you proud to be British?

[Jordy]

I was reading the Newsround forums and the majority of kids on there all hate Britain and hate everything it is now and ever was, or they're either Welsh and say their proud of being Welsh but not British. Obviously these kids are all just pessimist's and have been brain washed by the BBC and their panic-like ways but I was just wondering what teenagers thought of Britain?

Are you proud to be British?

I'm not proud of the Iraqi war at all, I'm not proud of being in the EU, I'm not proud of Gordon brown and the majority of his government but I must admit I'm very proud to be British, we have a fantastic history, a very relaxed right to freedom and we live in a multicultural society. Not only that but we're rather rich, pretty good army (now and then) and we're one of the few countries to still have a monarchy and we lead the commonwealth with counties like Australia and Canada?

[Niko Bellic]

Well I don't get erected knowing that I'm British but I suppose I'd rather be British than American etc. (No offence anyone) ;)

[-Xiangu-]

I am proud to be british yes.

[Jordy]

Well I don't get erected knowing that I'm British but I suppose I'd rather be British than American etc. (No offence anyone) ;)Yeah I see what you mean, I'm not saying Britain is the best country in the world, however I do think it is one of them. There's not many other nationalities I'd like to be, America has lots to be proud of, but lots of things not to be so proud of, I wouldn't mind being Norwegian, Swedish, Canadian or Australian.

[Niko Bellic]

Mind you I wouldn't mind being Australian, they have cool accents. :(

[Browney]

Overall, yes i'm pretty proud. Of my heritage of atleast. The british empire really. Yeah, yeah we built our empire on slavery, but so did everyone. And we make up for it with the billions of pounds we give back.

[Kieran]

Im not proud to be British. I can't wait to leave and go and live somewhere better. This place is a **** hole. All the yobs and violence and crime. Its just ****.

[ToxicPaddy]

I'm not British but I guess I am from birth but I don't mind it, although the majority of Irish hate Britain I'm not one that hates them. Britain is one of the most powerful countries in the world, and long live it :)

sorry but where do you want to live? theres no eutopia. Everywhere has downsides. even switzerland, one of the most clean-cut and efficient countries has a downside. Google needle park and you'll see what i mean.

[N!ck]

I'm proud to be British, but at the moment Britain is a mess lol.

[FlyingJesus]

Every time I see the Jack I get hard

[Dan2nd]

I'm proud of being British yes :)

[Geraint]

I am proud of being British but I'm more proud of being Welsh. Most people who are Scottish or Welsh will say they are more proud of their own country than the UK as a whole, as they are the minority.

[mangle]

I'm proud to be British, but at the moment Britain is a mess lol.

What Nick said, I'm proud of my heritage yes.

[xxMATTGxx]

Yeah I'm proud to be British.

[Abbie.]

yes, im proud to be british lol

[AndyDude312]

I'm proud that I understand the concept of queueing. I went on a ski trip in France andt all of us were in a long line for the drag lifts. Then, some French s**** come down the slope and just jump in front of the whole queue! I really wanted to shout at them. But anyway yeh I'm proud of being British.

[Btw, your poll is wrong. Being Scottish or Welsh still means that you are British!]

[Abbie.]

when i go on holiday, if you say your irish the people there like you better LOL

im british, but yeahhhh

i dont have an english accent

[Virgin Mary]

Yes, we have the best language and the SAS. The USA is England's child.

[Asher]

Absolutely not

[Joshuae]

I'm proud to be Welsh!

[Jordy]

[Btw, your poll is wrong. Being Scottish or Welsh still means that you are British!]Yeah I know, it's because lots of Scottish and Welsh aren't proud of Britain, but are proud of their own money grabbing countries instead. I wouldn't be saying that if I was Scottish but it's so unfair how lots hate England and reap England's tax money to get exclusive things.

[MJJ]

Well I'm not British, but I like living here. It's a lot better than from where I come from. :)

[contagious]

Yes, i'm proud to be British.

[AgnesIO]

I am not proud of being British

The country is disrupted, crap weather, Al-Queda hate us etc.

Luckily i am not 100% British as i am 50% spanish :)

[Abbie.]

Well I'm not British, but I like living here. It's a lot better than from where I come from. :)

why where were you from?

[N!ck]

Her location says Northern Ireland?

[Paulio]

not proud but i'm not disapointed.

[Abbie.]

Her location says Northern Ireland?


well as Northern Ireland IS in Britian and all and she said


it's a lot better than from where I come from

[Misawa]

Britain does NOT include Ireland. Britain is England, Wales and Scotland. Including Ireland makes up the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland wanted to stay a part of the Kingdom in contrast to the rest.

I am not overly proud to be British; I would prefer to leave, and this country is a mess. I am looking forward to when the Torries win the next GE.

I am not looking forward to the Tories sine they are gonna get stricter on games like Grand Theft Auto :(

[MJJ]

why where were you from?

India. :P Never go there ^^

[brandon]

At times, but overall not really.

[Misawa]

Don't worry about your precious video game. Anyway, I'd rather have a better country than a video game.

[AgnesIO]

Don't worry about your precious video game. Anyway, I'd rather have a better country than a video game.

Let's face it. Whatever they do to video games is not gonna help.

The reason Britain is a ****** up place is simply because we are to soft on criminals.

**** there 'Human-Rights' murderer's deserve DEATH.

[lScottl2]

yes im proud of being british

[JackBuddy]

Where is the 'No but I'm proud to be English' option!?

The country needs to stamp down on immigration and improve the education system.

[StefanCampbell]

I am very proud of being British AND English, you can't say you'd rather live in many other countries than this great one we live in? EVERY Country has it's downsides, and i'm sure our problems will be sorted when the Conservative party come into power(Can't wait, brown = nub) but anyway, we have great heritage/history, OVERALL the best army in the world and special forces, we also donate lots of money to other countries when they're in need, but i'm NOT proud of the imigration, i support LEGAL immigration when they migrants are taking up jobs wich we need, but anything other than that is a big nono, this country was great and still is in my eyes. I also find it discusting that Wales and Scotland aren't proud to be britain, as we pay for all of Scotlands college fees and university fee's etc, and pay for LOADS of other bills/taxes for Wales and Scotland, so if you say your proud to be Welsh or Scottish, then you have to say your proud of Britain/U.K to, as you would not be there if it weren't for England, and i'd rather not live anywhere else.

Long live Britain, and England/Wales/Scotland/Ireland.

As a whole, were simply one of the greatest nations on this very planet, we should never fall apart.

[Stacey.]

I'm proud to be British. Yet, I'm not proud of the things the Government do.

[Technologic]

Proud to be british but not proud of what the country has done.

But by being british we are allowed to be satirical *******s to the rest of the world

[Rarelime]

Yes, but I hate the stereotypes that come with being British. Americans especially, seem to think all British people drink tea, eat scones and speak posh.

[JackBuddy]

Yes, but I hate the stereotypes that come with being British. Americans especially, seem to think all British people drink tea, eat scones and speak posh.
Well I don't mind that cos it is traditional. It's lucky they don't think the stereotypical British person isn't fat or polish.

[YoManGo!]

yeh
as far as countries go we're a pretty good example of a working democracy. although did anyone watch that documentry "taking liberties"? scary stuff

but yeh i am
i just dont need to rub it in peoples faces and force it down their throats
ya know?


Well I don't mind that cos it is traditional. It's lucky they don't think the stereotypical British person isn't fat or polish.

well we seem to have this idea of them as being fat, ignorant and war hungry. so i guess we came out the better in that game.

[GommeInc]

I'm proud, just disagree with a few things :P

[RedStratocas]

Yes, but I hate the stereotypes that come with being British. Americans especially, seem to think all British people drink tea, eat scones and speak posh.

im not sure if you've heard the american stereotypes; i WISH people thought all we did was drink tea, haha.

of course i'm not proud to be british. we broke off from you 200 years ago for a reason.

[GommeInc]

Lol adding to RareLime :P I hate how Americans think we know everyone in the UK. When my brother's girlfriend went to Florida, they were asking questions like "Do you know such and such who lives in Blackpool" when she said she lived in Essex... Do you really expect we know how ever many millions of people there are here :P But I guess Americans have it worse with stereotypes.

[Corporal]

Yes, we have the best language and the SAS. The USA is England's child.
Other countrys have the SAS
The aussie SAS is mint was watching videos of them train and its just wow:|

But yer im proud of England and im going to serve my country in the army.
Im prepared to give up my life for here too.

[buttons]

i aint proud of bein scottish!! like when u see scottish people on like "the baron" (which is the village nxt to me) they all talk stupid and make a fool of themselves, i don't see how anyone finds THAT kind of accent attractive!! i like livin in scotland, but some of the people (galaxay) R IDIOTS. :)

[Lyrical.Troop]

Im not proud to have Gordon Brown as PM, And him bringing in crud laws.

Im British whether I like it or not, Im not Proud, Im not Un-Proud.

[OhLiam]

mmmm

I guess british is better than american but then again,
im proud of being a scotsman :)

[Cryptoo]

yes, I think i am.
Would much rather to be Spanish though :)

[benjamin]

not really i don't see why people are overly patriotic.

[Moh]

Well I don't mind been British, nothing really to be proud of. But I do like been British :)

[Lycan]

Not sure why there isn't "no but i'm proud to be english" option.

[MissAlice]

I'm proud to be english, but very disappointed in how this country is sometimes run!

[HotelUser]

I'm not from Britain. But I'm proud of being Canadian.

[Supersam]

Im not proud of britain much if im honest.

I dont see the point in being overly patriotic and I dont support england in any sports of any kind.

[Abzii]

Indeed I am very proud to be British :)

[Caution]

[Recursion]

The UK Government and our Prime Minister are both total ****.

[GhostFace-]
