What does being british mean to you?
I am proudly English and not in the least embarrased in wearing My Patron Saint George badge and my St George Cross, hoisted in my garden always. Are not the Scottish/Welsh/Iris of mixed race also? but Blair/Brown were determined to be racist undermining the English, determined to irradicate my Country England, simply because they are from another part on this disunited kingdom! I am proud to be English (not British)Its time we had our own English Parliament exactly the same as the Scottish/Welsh/Irish Or would this be classed as rascism? It is simply political properganda from the 17 hundreds. The English will have their own Parliament without interference from other parts on this Island sooner than than one expects. Waes Hael.

i love being british no matter what people say about it it dont matter weather you at black of white we are all humans… Bonnie, colchester, England
I personally don't think many things make a person British. I think, firstly is a person having a British passport and also i think to some extend that the person should be born in Britian to class themselves as British. I also believe to say your British, you should agree with the British laws and rules within our country. Tina, london, England
My view on being British is not necessarily someone who's background is British. Anyone can become a British Citizen and have the British spirit. For example Britain is about people of all different cultures and backgrounds coming together when crises occur, such as the Riots. When they came to an end people came together of all ages and ethnicities to help clean up the mess of which fellow citizens of Britain had made, these people showed lack of respect towards there home ground and gave Britain a bad name as it was so focused in the media, and the after mass of people helping and coming together was not. Also the British Spirit is people who are not afraid to speak out for what they believe and are strong, free speakers who aim to make differences to the world. Therefor in history great Britain managed to gain an empire so Great, considering its such a small group of countries ruled by a small monarchy. I believe most British people are good leaders and have the spirit to want to make changes to society and lead other towards it. However the media can portray British people as being heavy drinkers who allot are on benefits, this is not the case many British people do work hard and do enjoy a drink to relax and socialise as the British are very sociable people just because a small minority do drink heavily shouldn't be held against the mass of British people. British people are very family based as the majority of families live together or close by showing also that we are sociable and care for one another. In conclusion I believe Britain are free spirited, sociable, caring people who's intentions are to help one another in the society we live in. Georgie, birmingham, England
I reckon being British means that you have some sort of understanding of Britain and its culture. Also that you contribute to society, by means of education, work or even recycling. I think that if you are going to be considered British, you have to be proud of the culture, know the national anthem and respect the Nation for what it is Joe, birmingham, England
To me a British citizen is someone who is proud to live in the United Kingdom and has respect for our country and has a job in the Uk to give back to society :) Rebecca, birmingham, England
I've lived in Britain my entire life. I'm half Irish on my mother's side, and my father was born in Argentina but lived in Banbury. I call myself British because I live here and work here and grew up here. I believe in British morals and British law. Support its government no matter how idiotic it may be sometimes. Even though I'm sixteen I have great pride for my country and its people. A British citizen is someone who supports the country, no matter the colour or race of said person. You need not live in Britain to be British. William, King's Lynn, England
i belive that we dont need to define Britishness, it is an abstarct word which we as people in Britain use and people in Britain make to show how proud they are to be in a resourced society. we as people living in Britain make the word Britishness. C, twickenham, UK
