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.

“Teenagers are brainwashed into believing that Britishness is a sense of undying pride for colonial era values where xenophobia, racism and sexism is a positive trait and defining characteristic of good old Britain!” – FTFY

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
