@Big Cheeso You're misusing the term identity politics. All politics is identity politics, in the sense that if you are say, a motorist at any given time, you will politically lean towards parties which are pro motorist. When people decry identity politics, they are concerned about political ideas centralized around immutable characteristics like race and gender. There is no immutable criteria you must meet before you can love your country. Patriotism is necessary for a successful nation. Unpatriotic nations dissolve, just look at the way the Anglophobic Scots are trying to dissolve the union.

@Big Cheeso The Visegrad countries and especially Hungary are all staunchly nationalist. In Hungary's case in particular their birthrate had dropped to a very low level and so instead of emulating our own extremely unpatriotic politicians Viktor Orban's government decreed that when a Hungarian couple had a child their house repayments would be cut by one third, a second child and it would be cut by half, a third child and the couple would not pay income tax for the rest of their lives. I believe other perks such as free transport are also available. As a result Hungary can expect to be populated and ruled by native Hungarians, in the Hungarian manner, in accordance with their own customs and wishes for the forseeable future. They won't have to put up with what the English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish have had inflicted upon them for the last 70 years, with the world's flotsam and jetsam being positively encouraged to make for our shores to help themselves to plenty of free everything whilst at the same time a percentage of them have displayed intransigent barbarity with violence and even murder as part of their stock-in-trade. And nothing will really change here until people wake up and start voting for nationalist parties here in Dear Old Blighty. Mind you, even one elected nationalist politician in parliament would make a difference. The Lib/Lab/Con Arrangement would go out of it's mind with fear of having their snouts dragged back out of the public money trough and their power diminished. But the voters could indulge themselves in a grim smile. Can you say that our current politicians don't deserve such punishment?

I've been thinking lately about what it is that actually constitutes a country and its people, and I find myself coming to a conclusion that is likely to please absolutely no one, so I figured that I might as well set myself on fire and share it here. The short version, is that I think it's probably not just one thing, ie just a shared culture, or just a group of people with a similar ethnicity, but more likely a complicated mixture of the two, along with a number of other things. A nation is comprised of a geographical location, the physical land that fills its borders, as well as a shared history, with people who live there who can trace their ancestry back within that land for generations, but also includes things like a common sense of humour that can be adopted and appreciated by people who originate from outside that culture. I don't think that everyone within a country needs to have the same skin colour, but if, say, Japan somehow ended up as a majority white country, no one would ever try to claim that it was no different in any meaningful way to the version of the country that exists currently, with its particular demographic makeup. I don't see why the same logic shouldn't apply to anywhere else. Similarly, I don't think that anyone needs to be able to trace their bloodline back hundreds of years within a nation's borders to be considered part of it, but at the same time I don't think that one can just dismiss the fact that many people would potentially be able to follow their family line back, in some cases, to the very beginnings of a country's existence. History obviously means more to you if you have a more direct connection to it. If it didn't, no one would be able to use the spectre of ancestral guilt to manipulate people in the modern day. In terms of what makes a country though, these things may not be everything, but they're also not _nothing._ So, TL;DR, it's complicated. As I suggested, this will likely not endear me towards anyone who thinks that what makes a nation is predicated entirely on race and ethnicity, or anyone who thinks it's all just about cultural tropes that people can either choose to embrace or not. It's probably some magical mix of a lot of things, and I suspect that the reason we don't often seem to get anywhere with these kinds of discussions is because too many people seem to prefer a more simplistic explanation.

[@Sparkyalan1411]

Good points....ask anyone waving an England flag what /how they define national pride will result in multiple answers. Of our culture, I would suggest...duty, fair play, and trying to do the right thing as some examples but I also feel we have to look at evolution as well. Whilst we can travel the world and even space, it forms a part of what we call ‘home’...not just the house you live in, or the town but where you’re core values are shared by as many like minded people. This gives an individual a firm base to which they can anchor themselves. On an international level, it is the country of your birth that has the largest shared value. Outside your country, other countries may hold different values that undermine your own. Skin colour...irrelevant. Religion...irrelevant....lifestyle choices...irrelevant ( unless any of these attack our understanding of English culture)...as long as individuals, when shit hits the fan, can honestly stand tall and protect the country of their birth and not feel shame waving St George X...they are English.

Personally If I am talking with a "person of colour" and they have an English accent as this guy has I see no colour, It's the same with white Europeans, the worse the English accent the more I see them as foreign, I find it strange that colour and country fade the stronger the English Accent is. If this makes any sense? Just an after thought the better someone speaks "Plain" English the more English they become, in my eyes it's like appreciation of effort, which in contrast to us we don't try at all when in foreign lands, we just expect everyone to speak English. The only time we do lean any foreign language is to order a beer or food. Celebrate England and Englishness with st Georges Flag and the union with the union Jack.

You either have many generations or centuries of English heritage or you are foreign inhabitant of England. English people are white. The English are white. So are the Scotts, Welsh, Irish and Northern Europeans. It is not racist. Being overwhelmed by foreign people is not a positive thing and would not be considered as a positive thing in many other countries.

Another sermon from the far right preacher of Gb news

[@paulmchugh1389]

Britishness is not simply about race and also not simply about 'paying taxes'. That's just nonsense. The largest part of it is down to culture. If someone has black or brown skin and is culturally British in most facets of their life, so what? They're Brits as far as I'm concerned.

[@paulmcmahon864]

Thank you for assuming that England is Britain and Britain is England. I agree with you.
