Are you proud to be English?

Those who are English are constantly called British, why are they trying to wipe the English from the map?

But if some continue to class us as British why do they then shorten this by referring to us as 'Brits'?

If it is offensive to shorten the word of Pakistanis, then surely it is just as offensive to shorten the word of British by calling us 'Brits'?

Well, apparently the problems with your argument are beneath responding to.

Or is that a personal attack?

To answer the title-question; I'm neither proud nor ashamed, but when I look around this world, I just think how incredibly lucky I am.

Cecil Rhodes said:
Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life.

I agree with him, I am proud to be British and why not it is a good thing to be, although I suspect if you asked anyone in any other country I am sure they would be equally proud of their nationality

I went to an open air summer concert at Leeds Castle once (a bit like the Proms), everyone was flying their Union Flag and singing Jerusalem. It brought tears to my eyes .. wonderful.
