I’m not british but I believe all of you britishers should be proud of your country and your ancestors
1) you expanded trade like no one did
2) you created industrial revolution
3) you are the reason we are seeing this technologically advanced age
4) you went from a windswept island to create a never seen before scale empire
5) your language is de facto language of the world today
6) you managed to win two world wars and napolenic wars
7) you were superpower
8) you wrote history like no one ever did
So many achievements!! I agree that British did many evil things too in the history however which culture didn’t do that. There was difference of the scale but there are some evil things associated with almost every modern nation.

Your argument is so biased, ignore all the evils of the past b’coz what country hasn’t done it, recognize changing times and show flexibility b’coz that’s being ‘shrewd’, short list a few countries that are doing better and ignore all other countries that are still struggling from the brits squandering in the past... while history screams of what brutality the citizens of those countries dealt with under the monarchy and recent modern governments, the struggles people in those countries went through for decades to oust the brits. Your whole argument is absurd and baseless. I don’t see the point in debating with someone who hasn’t done their homework or read some history.
Be proud, you created Girls Aloud!
There’s a post asking ‘are you proud to be American’ so I wondered if there were any fellow Brits on here and what their answers would be to the same question.
Sometimes... not often..
I cried after Brexit.
Same.. but then again I'm abroad in the US now and some Americans aren't any better. 🤦🏻♀️ lol
This is my problem with the current state of my country, yes we have an interesting history but so much of the ruling class and the population act as if we still have an empire, and are nostalgic for a time they didn’t even live through (eg WW2).
I’d be willing to bet there won’t be “British” people in the next 25-50 years. English, Scotts, and Welsh. Sad but the dissolution of the British empire isn’t done yet.
Definitely proud. When you leave you realize the odd but very organized quirks we have that the rest of the world could take note of.
