WILF 46,642 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 37 minutes ago, greg64 said: they don't they call it Cymru not Wales which comes from a Brythonic word combragos which means compatriot Love stuff like that. The word English is derived from Angli which was the Germanic tribe to land on the North Sea coast and start to colonise the British Isles, which is what pushed the indigenous Britons westward. East Anglia is derived from the same word. The Anglo Saxon “Anglkin” is the same, another linguistic stop on the road to English. An act of Union makes us British, history makes us English (or welsh or whatever) but blood makes us white Europeans ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, but where is the line drawn mate, go back even further than white European blood and that makes us black African blood. We can't say British is a thing and then imply we are interchangable with other white Europeans. No British patriot would ever label a Spanish man as British, even though are culture and genetics are more similar than say, an Africans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 7,957 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 (edited) 'Patriotism is the conviction that your country is superior to all others because you were born in it. ' George Bernard Shaw. I believe that. I don't understand all the flag waving by different nationalities. Couldn't give a f**k tbh. I can never understand why people are so willing to die for their country when they are poor and own so little of the country's wealth. I'm not saying I wouldn't fight for my country but I'd have to be pretty convinced it was a just war. And there are few of those. I support England sports teams but basically I'm an internationalist. I don't think I'm better or worse than anybody else. I'm not particularly proud or ashamed to be born in England. I didn't have a lot of choice in the matter, nor am I responsible for England's historic achievements or dodgy behaviour In the past. I think the British can be distinguished by the amount of crap dumped on us by our governments and how we just knuckle our foreheads and accept it.
