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?

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.

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.

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
