Am I an Englishman or a Britain??????

Question

I am "English" yet I have to fill out forms as British. Are we truly a "United Kingdom", I believe not. Are we money making machines having our buttons pressed by the elected. Do we have a say in how this country is run? I believed that someone elected by the people should work for the good of the people.
Are 150,000 people a year who leave these shores better off?
Should I join them?
WHERE WILL THIS COUNTRY END UP?

Answer 1

You are British.

Answer 2

I watched a TV program last night trying to prove there are no English, the proof was obtained by using DNA profiling. The commentator was saying that Ian Wright was as English as the people being tested, all of which were white. I think any white person watching this would have been insulted and upset by his remarks. The English are a mixture of white European tribes that have fought over the right to rule over this country for thousands of years and have evolved to what we have today. Europeans are part of our natural history as Wales, Scotland and Ireland are, being English is not just being White it is about heritage, culture, and survival. White Europeans represent about 7 or 8% of the worlds population and England is our homeland. I personally have no malice to any man be he black, white or any other nationality but the truth is the English are at the moment losing the fight for that survival and we are dying in our tolerance. We can only do our best to change the situation.Voting for one of the main stream parties is a wasted vote so the English, welsh and Scots need to rally and vote for a political party that will diverse from mainstream politics and try to salvage what is left. The commentator on 100% British is as racialist as you can get, what causes a man to hate his own race so much?

Answer 3

Wow! I hadn't classed myself as one of the 150,000 leaving British shores. Even though I don't live there, I'm still proud to call myself a 'Brit'. I'm overjoyed that my English accent stands out from every other accent here (it's very difficult to find a Canadian who is actually born in Canada) and I look forward to returning 'home' even though it may be only for a few weeks.
I think you've answered your own question with your attitude. The problem is that everybody's moaning about the country instead of embracing it, and making it their very own. The love of the country is what makes it great, nothing else. And it's not going to improve until that love of the country is apparent.
Embrace your country and be proud.

Answer 4

You are who you are. You have some very admirable thoughts. I can help you with the political problems. Every non-voting American is what is wrong with this country. The constitution points out that this country is run by "We, the people". If Bush is all that bad, then why did he get voted a second term. The same belly aching was done about Clinton, but somehow, he got a second term. Just look in the mirror, if you are not voting, you are the problem with this country, if you are voting, at least you are trying to make this country better. I commend you. Just have faith that those who are not will someday get onthe wagon and we can see some real changes.

Answer 5

An Englishman is a British because England is part of the United Kingdom.

Answer 6

I am English and as England is Part of Great Britain I am British.I am pleased to be so.It was only under Margaret Thatcher I ever felt ashamed to be so.Yes busines and Governments press our buttons.We only have a say in how the country is run by belonging to political parties. Tories /business and Labour/those who do the work.The governments job is to look after the nation thats why when in power they choose to ignore what their parties desire,and they get a bloody nose for it.

Answer 7

There are a lot questions united in one. It seems like you verbalized a problem that is encountered by people living in the countries that are federations of a sort. A great Russian diplomat and writer of the beginning of the 19th century Alexander Griboyedov wrote, "Where is it better? Where we are not."

Answer 8

I filled out a form like that in the UK I too am English but I had to tick other because it had every colour race and nationality and not forgetting religion.. That was just for a library card

Answer 9

So many questions! Where to start......

You are both, and by convenience only. Cutting out most of the other questions, if you're that desperately unhappy with life here (fair enough!) then emigration may be the answer. I hear New Zealand is quite nice if you like the country/like the quiet life/like sheep etc

Answer 11
