We’re now told the French (maybe) are to buy our nuclear power plants, we are told that the youths from certain parentage from the Commonwealth in this country do not class themselves as British, we don’t own many massive national companies etc, next I’ll be told I am not English per see but British. Born and bred in England & proud to English. I’m also sick of all the PC crap. I am no way a racist but beginning to think my identity has been taken away from my family & I, without consultation. ps. and Jobs. No I will not leave this country but I’m told there is free speech!!!
No sarcasm please.

To get our identity back like the Scottish & the Welsh, we have to drop the British & start calling ourselves English.

Answer:
I don't feel English. Having lived in London and now Yorkshire I feel a greater identity with Yorkshire. Its funny, when I visited Glasgow I had more in common with the people there (let down by a London parliament that does not care about them) than I have with people in Surrey.
