Twenty-five years ago 55 per cent said they felt ‘very proud’ to be British but that figure has dropped to 45 per cent. Researchers said older people had a strong attachment to Britain but that the young were more prone to listen to the appeals of nationalists. Britishness is becoming a label only used on holiday. Are you proud to be British? Or do you feel more English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish? Has devolution eroded a sense of Britishness? Do you think it matters if the younger generation feels less patriotic? Is it just a sign of the times with increased globalisation?

i do not think of myself as british but welsh and yes i am proud to be welsh it is my country of birth and i love living here and will never leave
I have dual British and Irish nationality and i have to admit that i feel more proud to be Irish that British but I don't really know why.
well i'd have to say no, not really. some traditional britishness gets on my nerves.
yes absolutely britains great weve got all the history, good government system and have a good rep around the world!
I am 57 years old and still proud to be British. I think one way to prove it one way or the other is if you are abroad and you heard somebody being abusive to the British or Britain would you stand up for them or stay silent, if you would stand up for them then yes you are proud of being British, but if you remain silent then I suppose you must be embarrased.I know I would defend them, that is as long as it was only a discussion and not likely to lead to violence.
yes,i am very proud to be british,even in the bad times we are envyed by the rest of the world,
