Just going through the SNP thugs thread there, posted a doosie...hehe. Do you consider yourself British, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, other? Personally Mrs Naughty goes with Scottish where as Mr Naughty tends to go with British......Is the greatest union ever to grace this Earth dead? Play nice  . |

Regardless of what you feel - take a look at your passport (assuming you have one!)
There's a bit that says 'Nationality'.
Should be a clue as to what yours is.

Well this is a complex question.
My name is Scots my Dad is Scots born abroad my mum was Austrian and I was born British abroad. I hold two passports one British and the other for the country I was born in.
I am by my own choice Scotish and proud of it.
If Scotland brakes away I will apply for Scotish passport.
But having said that petty nationalism leaves us all the poorer.
As a family the UK is greater than the sum of its individual parts and we need to remember that. |

My parents were both Scottish so I'm Scottish; my mother's family came over during the Norman conquest in 1066, my father's family were from NI when his great grandparents moved to Scotland durigg the potato famines in the 1800s.
I've never lived in Scotland and in fact was born in Africa so I consider myself Scottish or Kenyan depending on how I feel on the day.
On forms though I tick British because I'm definitely not English and really hate being accused of being English. I'm more Scottish than many scots.
I'll get my coat. |

Always British while growing up but two things changed that.
1. Nationalism by the other countries.
2. I've worked overseas quite a bit and everybody always introduced me as English. They'd also introduce my Welsh, Irish and Scottish colleagues as English too |

It makes me even more inclined to describe myself as British, if it helps piss extreme nationalists (of whatever nationality off) then so be it. Isn't the whole point of being British that most of us are a bit of a mix anyway? I don't particularly feel I identify as 'English' because I don't really feel much in common with the Jerusalem-singing, Morris dancing, village fete idyll that it tries to represent. |

Council tax does exist. When/if the Scots get independence they'll realise they have to make the same difficult decisions as the rest of Britain, except they won't have a Westminster elite to blame. Suddenly it'll all be the fault of the Edinburgh elite, because people who are unhappy with their lot always find someone to blame. |

As someone who doesn't consider themselves either Scottish or English, but who follwed the indyref very closely, I think there was as much hatred targeted at the Scots as there was from them.
If the media campaign against Scotland's independence hadn't been so vociferous then I think we would have seen a much calmer situation.

Neither
I'm Sicilian, was born in Sicily, moved to the UK when I was a child, so I don't consider myself to be British or English |

"this current election makes me realise that there is an element to Scottish Nationalism that basically hates the English.
It's been like that for years.
That's not a new or recent thing.
I wouldn't know, til indyref it wasn't something I'd encountered."
It's been prevalent for years. There was always a resentment of so called Clan Chiefs (English born and educated) which continued through to 'white settlers' and beyond, using the proceeds of inflated south east England property priced to purchase second homes out of the reach of locals.
At least, as far as I know, we didn't adopt the Welsh hobby of torching their houses. |

I love this topic - I'm British but only as it's the only option that best fits me.
I was born in Yorkshire, but my dad is half Norwegian and Swedish, and my mother is part Scottish and Welsh from her dad and part Greek and English from her mother. I'd love to Northern to be a valid option alongside English and Welsh, as honestly that's how I identify. :P

I'm a Londoner.
Have to tick British on the forms but don't really identify as this.
I certainly don't think I'm English.
Mater is Irish , pater was born in England but his grandparents are Danish. |

I feel bad about wanting to split the Union, but indyref made it clear that many Scots don't like us. Better off apart, who knows after a few yrs we may start respecting each other again. |

I'm British - that's how I feel and identify, and am proud to do so.
My bloodline is from four separate countries - but I don't feel that I have an individual connection to any one of them.

"Irish ..... British is not a nationality nor is Britain a country"
True,but unlike Ireland there is no English passport or Scottish or Welsh or Northen Irish.
The passport of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland defines the British.
Thus those from that nation define themselves as British. |

I remember my days favourite saying
We are Sicilian moved to the UK when I was a child, there was me and my sister when we moved, my parents had my brother after, but dad always maintained he wasn't British
He used to say
All because your born in a barn that don't make you a cow |

I'm Welsh and not British for the following reasons:-
I'm white
I'm not an asylum seeker or an immigrant
I work for a living not live on benefits
I live in private rental not council housing
I actually pay tax unlike British people
The British government steals from the poor to give to the immigrants and the rich why would I want to be British? |

So only none white, immigrant, benefit claimers who live in council houses and pay no tax are British |

"What a shame we have so many little Englanders/Scots/Welsh/Irish (although I can sort of understand Irish being a separate island).
I would ask you all don't you understand the principle of divide and conquer? Is being British such a hard thing to be?
Its getting harder to feel comfortable describing myself as British. I feel unliked by many of my fellow British citizens for my ancestry, & now I feel we would be better off apart.
It makes me even more inclined to describe myself as British, if it helps piss extreme nationalists (of whatever nationality off) then so be it. Isn't the whole point of being British that most of us are a bit of a mix anyway? I don't particularly feel I identify as 'English' because I don't really feel much in common with the Jerusalem-singing, Morris dancing, village fete idyll that it tries to represent. "
This and well said as always |
