Conquer Club

Great Britain is well and truly.... great. Although we have our little bastards to say the least, we surely are a fantastic country. Anyone who dares to disagree will get a Union Jack up their ass. Well.....

I'm not british, but if I was, I definately would be proud to be british. Long live britain!

wow.... <sobs> that means a lot to me....i'm so proud

'britishness' is a nonsense concept created by successive unionist governments to quell scottish, welsh and irish nationalism.

didnae work


edit;
no, i'm not proud to be 'british' and would never consider myself such (but that's a different matter), britain has an appauling history of deciet, cowardice and murder. the 'empire' was a joke, land stolen from natives who had nothing but spears to defend themself - you're proud of that?


are you proud of what you did to ireland or scotland, by the way?

I am proud to be british but recently we are lacking things to be proud of.

In my opinion

i agree, but i'm sure our time will come

or perhaps our time has been?

maybe our best and worst years came in between 1914 and 1980

I dont really think thats fair because the romans were worse than the british but they're always remembered as a good thing

i'm not saying what the british did wasn't bad but we were one of the first empires to give nations freedom without too much of a fight

rule britannia
britannia rule the waves
britons never shall be slaves


im god fearing british man and damn pround of it


i would get rid of the god fearing bit because it is not true but it does not sound as go without it

I'm neither proud to be British nor English; after all, what have we got to be proud of? What have we ever had to be proud of (apart from 1966)?

im proud to be british, if i got to choose any country to live in i would stay in britain.

I've said it before, but I can't see the point of being proud of happening to be born in one particular country over another. I'm glad I was born in a developed country which, for all its faults, treats its citizens pretty well on the whole. But I'm human first of all, not British (or Scottish.)

i don't think many welsh, scots or northern irish would say that they are proud to be british, as each is struggling to assert it's own national identity and democratic parliament (or assembly at least).
whether this is a good thing or not is up for debate.
i for one would say i was welsh, not british.

but as a United Kingdom, we must stand strong and fight together, for exaple, we share athletes in the olympics

I am british. Well, i'm English, grew up in Aberdeenshire though. I love this country and i love scotland - but what have i got to be proud of? My parents happened to shag and live near London. Well done me.

Fair enough, but how does that reflect on anyone else who lives in scotland or england?

i liked stopper's post best. Says it all.

I'm Canadian (woo-hoo!), although the British controlled Canada before it became its own country. so I guess we owe a fair amount to the British, although before the British took Canada the French owned it, but they weren't strong enough to keep it, so that's natural selection (or whatever you call it) for ya. Anyway, I guess 1 of my favourite civilizations is the British.
