        I don't think this is a reason for complaining of young people. Or old people, for that matter, depending on your perspective. A fair number of young ones are still positive about Englishness & will probably become more so. I don't think it necessarily predicts the future.

        It's a weird question because I believe pride should only be something you have in your achievements etc. Being born in a good first world country is not an achievement. I'm very happy to be English and I describe myself as such, but I don't know if I take "pride" in it.

        This is said a lot but, nevertheless, there is a meaning to pride which is not about achievement but still makes sense to people. A respect & affection for. A sense of belonging to, You'd have to go with this sense of the word 'pride'

        I can go with that interpretation because the U.K. is my home and I care for it’s people. Pride just has a completely different connotation to me, more like Street Fighter’s.

        Really Helen, could we expect anything else when they are fed all that anti-British nonsense at school. 🧐

        The people who are most proud of their nationality are usually the worst (e.g., Republicans in the US), so this is great!

        Everyone has some dumb, uninformed opinion about why the Roman Empire fell (especially social conservatives); not especially interested in listening to Stefan Molyneux's!

        I paid a lot of attention! That's why my AP history exam scores were so good! Plus I took Latin in high school and that involved learning a lot about Ancient Rome (primarily as it existed in the first century AD but also a little bit of everything before and after that)

        so you’re familiar w/ the policies we should try to avoid so that we don’t suffer the same fate? welfare and wealth redist, uncontrolled immigration, citizenship to those with incompat values. it takes ignorance or a lot of looking the other way to not see this.

        isn't there more to being "English" than just living in a particular place? and secondly, why would someone move there if they don't want to "become" English anyway?

        The graphic showing identity strengthens as you get away from london is no surprise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London … At the 2011 census, 36.7% of London's population was foreign born (including 24.5% born outside of Europe). If they aren't british, why would they respond positively?
