@MrWillstro THE UNION JACK FLAG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING BRITISH YOU DUMB WORTHLESS RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT! BEING BRITISH IS A GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION RATHER THAN A POLITICAL TERM! YOU FUCKING SCUM I WAS PRETTY CLEAR ON MY FIRST POST! AND JUST SO BY THE WAY THE UK FLAG IS BEING WAVED ALL OVER SCOTLAND WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND ! PEOPLE IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND NORTHERN IRELAND IS A COUNTRY! THEY BELONG TO THE UNITED KINGDOM HOWEVER THEY ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY IRISH! YOU FUCKING SCUM LOSER!
YOU ARE BRITISH BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF THE COUNTRY YOU WERE BORNT AND RAISED ON AN ISLAND GEOGRAPHICALLY THE (GREAT BRITAIN) WHICH ALSO IN FIRST PLACE ON TOP OF THAT BELONGS TO THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT! SO YOU ARE EUROPEAN - BRITISH - AND THEN BY POLITICAL MEANS: ENGLISH !!! // YOU IGNORANT SCUM
@audacious2win scotish,irish and wales call dont call thetm selves british and they wave their own flags, in england people say british and wave the union jack which is bs
You are both English and British even though you were born in England because England shares the island of Great Britain with Scotland and Wales,so you are also British.
@sharky1105 No, Britain just covers Scotland, Wales and England, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom :) Sorry about that any way, just me being nitpicky
Completely agree on this! If we are all 'British' how come the Census form has changed it's options for nationality because so many people complained. Do we call the Germans, French, Dutch, Italians, etc "European" or "Continental" course not! So don't call us British please!
I think it depends on what your talking about. If your talking about people in all of britain, then I say british, but if im talking about england, then I say english. I cant stand when people call people just from england british.
Good point dude! ! agree with you I'm Welsh coz I live in Wales!! a Frenchman is French coz he lives in France... I feel ashamed to say I'm "british" to be honest...british empire is long gone, we are who we are from the country we live, in your case your english coz ur from england :)
I hate this bollocks where we're not allowed to hang the St. George's Cross for being "racist". The Irish are allowed St. Patrick, the Scottish St. Andrew, the Welsh St. David, so WHY should we have to be the emmisary for the whole island?
Honestly, the sooner Scotland gets independence, the sooner this union can end and we can be ENGLISH again.
These fuckers have hijacked the word like there's no tomorrow !
Moreover, the main use of the word British these days is for tryna state how 'even more English' than English you are which is nonsensical pompous shit that only some English people choose to take part in !
Because, put quite simply, do you often come across Scots or Welsh people who're dying to introduce themselves as being British ?
God this getting out of hand nobody 's got glue who they are or where there from, damn I wish I could help, your really mixed up over there, what about a team building session and group hug and game of softball, maybe the guys in office here in DC could swing you some green cards.
WHEN IM PRIME MINISTER!!! IM GOING TO MAKE ENGLAND ENGLISH, SCOTLAND SCOTTISH, WHALES WELSH AND NORTHERN IRELAND NORTHERN IRISH, I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY, MAN I FIND IT WELL ANNOYING WHEN WHEN PEOPLE REFER TO THE UK THEY ACTUALLY JUST MEAN ENGLAND!!!! "Vid liked"
This person is both english and British.So sad so many people dont understand. If he was born in the part of the UK that is England then he must be English.If a person was born in the part of the UK that is Welsh Scots or N.Irish they are them as well,but at the end of the day (unless any of them wish to leave the Uk,then they have a British passport (the most highly sought after piece of paper in the world)
Britains a fucking bourgeoisie lie. You can not be british without licking the Elizebeth Windsors arse. Just to add Ulster loyalists are plastic brits(they lick the Elizebeth Windsors arse yet are from Ireland not Scotland, Wales or England)
@sharky1105 I'm English too I would never say I'm British it's England I'm fed up of the soapy Scottish Irish and Welsh cunts slagging off England and no one doing a thing about it, were being too soft with them, All the English are going owwww I can't defend England's pride from that Scottish bloke because I've got a bit of Scottish in me....... FUCK OFF don't worry about that they don't and they've probably got loads of English ancestry, WHERES THE PRIDE GONE next 'celt' that slags of England
@mastercheff1216 That's a shame you think that. Please be advised there are many of us soapy Scots c*nts who do actually quite like England and the people that reside there.
And I am one, even though I support a fully independent Scotland.
Happy New Year and Slàinte gu soírraidh to you and everyone in England. (The last bit means Good health, forever in Scottish Gaelic).
@globaltraveller Well I'm English and Scotland is one of my favourite countries - there are bound to be both English and Scots that claim to dislike the other but that's just regurgitating history.
@17sundays No you're not, you're from the United States of America. By your logic, our nationality is defined by our continent, so Germans shouldn't be called Germans, they should be called Europeans.
This seems to be a lumper vs. splitter argument with people arguing according to what they think is the most important designation first. It also seems to be a way of emphatically saying what a person is not--“I’m a Scott not a (those other people) god damn Brit.” You are right though if they live in Britain they are British even if they are also English Scottish or Welsh.
You sir are 100% Janner, you live so close to Cornwall you might as well be a Cornishman, you are not English, that is insulting to my fellow English peoples.
Actually, acording to your argument, you would need to be 1/3 Scotish, 1/3 Welsh, and 1/3 English. Ireland is not on the island of Britain. Sassenach!
@iheartuglybetty well, It may happen from a child of parents English and Welsh + a child of parents Scottish and Irish = baby British... =] with love anything can happen.
It's also as a result of devolution. Since then, Scots and Welsh have become much more patriotic and it seems to have followed suit that the English have done the same. There are two things : The Barnett Formula and The West Lothian Question that have fed to this. The English people are waking up to the fact that being British isn't exactly great, but a self-governing English state may be the answer.
Fair comments. Something to consider is that it appears only English people subscribe to the 'British' doctrine. When you consider what is 'British', largely, these traits are English. Given, that there are some moves to teach Britishness - only to English students - rejected from Wales, Scotland and NI - and lets not forget that the GB Football olympic team will only consist of - England. England alone has largely given it's own identity up to being British....
@hernhillrebel OK - by the same token, why deny that people can be English and English only? British is just an umbrella term applied some 300 years ago, non-specific. In use of the term British, one assumes that I'm happy to be in a union with three other countries, when it is an act of defiance against the union that I choose not to refer to myself as British. I do not believe in the union. Calling someone British also, does not really tell me where they're from.
The UK has only existed since 1801. What's your point? England as a separate state existed for nearly 1000 years before that. And saying it was around before Australia and NZ is like saying the Xbox was around before the Xbox360....
Totally get your point of view, although I think I'd always refer to myself as British or Irish over English.
Your description isn't quite true however; Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain, hence the name 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' (it, and the ROI are however part of the British Isles, but that's a geographical term).
So you'd want to be thirds Welsh, Scottish and English.
hmm . what makes you english .. what you do different to be named english scotish welish n.ireland etc nothing but were you are born. or in some respects were you have lived for long time
what im trying to say is what is the big difference in english to the rest of uk we all do the same things day in day out
im british ? ur british ? u live on british soil ? u live in the united kingdom of great briton ... do you know how union jack was formed ? if someone says thier european they could live in france ,denmark belgem spain italy etc , man you are makein a tit if yourself i sajest some history education and a hair cut
i dunno if you were listening properly but he did say that he knows he technically he is bristish but he did also say he sees him self as english not british. i hope you know that it's not a crime for someone to say "i'm english, not british" and that this guy isn't the only person in the word who thinks and says that they're english, not british. so as well as insulting this guy by calling him a tit you're also insulting everyone else who calls them selves english, not british.
Do you not know your history? England, Scotland and Wales PRECEDED the UK, it was a simple political union and an enforced identity. I live on ENGLISH soil that is under a British flag. If it's all British, Britain - why do the consitituent countries still exist?
What makes me English? I was born in England, I was raised in England, I have an English accent, I don't eat haggis, play bagpipes or speak Welsh or Gaelic.
i'm from plymouth and don't sound like that you sound like a farmer lol i may come out with a bit of jannerisoms but my god that was all janner and christian i agree
lol never been told i sound like a farmer before even though we live in the same city, and this christian person what part of what he or she said do you agree with?
i'll have you know that reggaepeggae isn't me. the account that i uploaded this video on is my only account and if you have a problem with this reggaepeggae person uploading pointless videos then take it up with him or her instead of me
I think it is excellent that you call yourself by what you feel you are. Another point to strenghen what you say is that the "Britons" (celts), While they are located in what is now England, actually left to the shores of present day Brittany. Technically the The Scottish and Welsh are not "British" at all, and the Bitons. who remained in "Britannia", the Roman name for England, have assimilated to Anglo-Saxon society. The Iranians still call themselves Persian, but they speak still Persion.
your english, your born in... whatever town your from, and england is in britain, your european, your part of the human race (i think). hehe im Scottish but if your trying to get a bank account, "white british" not "white english" the man has told us what we are.
in fact, why are we "English" its an imaginary place! its an island, because we are on that island doesnt make us of that descent lol.
And since Britain (Britannia) is what the Romans Named the place after one Celtic tribe and not Anglia (meaning England), or Saxonia(Saxony/Saxonland) which went into making the names of the regions after romans left and the Angles and Saxons arrived. I don't really think it is bad thing. the only discrepency is that the Briton. The whole thing is silly Anyway, one should only call myself "English" if I were descended from the Angles And "Saxish".. like the saxons mainland Europe still do
well it's like i said in the video i was born in England and raised in England and nowhere else so i'm English. so why should i call my self British or European when i have nothing to do with the other countries in both Britain and Europe. i'm on another social networking site where i've joined a group roughly titled the same as this video and i said i'm English not British and i did get a bit of stick for it
it's like in my view the same with the US state Alaska. it was owned by Russia so if you lived there you were Russian but the America bought Alaska off Russia so it then became par of the US so the people who live there are American and you don't see Alaskans calling themselves Russian
that's pretty much the same difference between my, my youngest sister and out niece. there's 6 years between my and my youngest sister ans she was only 7 at the time of the niece coming along
yeah my other brother is 5 years younger, I find the huge age gaps can be a little confusing for sure, i mean my brothers were still in public school when I was going through my "teen angst " stage, but at least that way they could see what they didn't want to do, so it worked that way
yeah XD there's roughly the same age difference between me and my 3 sisters so at least 2 of us would of been in the same school at the same time but like i said our brother is a few years older then us 4 so he had finished school was before the rest of us did
but the thing is when i tell people the age of my brother and then the ages of my parents they're like "wow, your mum had ya brother young" but then i have to tell the story of how it all came about
well that's the thing my mum was 11 when my brother was born so when people find that out they thing my mum got pregnant with him at that age so i have to explain my brother his my half brother
my parents are English to but Britain is made up of four countries. England, Scotland, northern Ireland and Wales. if you want to find out anything else about it you may as well google Great Britain
i quite like ur brittish accent so dont think its a bad thing .really i like it alot better than my accent because i really dont have an accent. but u may think i do !!! xD
well that's the thing you could say British accent but the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish accents are different from each other. but i'm from England so i have an English accent
Thank you so much for this video, Mr. Sharky. I really appreciate the response, and I enjoyed hearing your explanation. You are absolutely correct, there is no crime in calling yourself English. In fact, you should be quite proud of your heritage. Good for you!!
I also like how you acknowledge that technically you are both British and European. I really appreciated that. On some level, though, we are all the same no matter where we come from. I think it is good to move forward from here.
im fucking sick of being called a brit

I think it is excellent that you call yourself by what you feel you are. Another point to strenghen what you say is that the "Britons" (celts), While they are located in what is now England, actually left to the shores of present day Brittany. Technically the The Scottish and Welsh are not "British" at all, and the Bitons. who remained in "Britannia", the Roman name for England, have assimilated to Anglo-Saxon society. The Iranians still call themselves Persian, but they speak still Persion.

you make a good point, but do you have to say it in such a frightening way?

your english, your born in... whatever town your from, and england is in britain, your european, your part of the human race (i think). hehe im Scottish but if your trying to get a bank account, "white british" not "white english" the man has told us what we are.
in fact, why are we "English" its an imaginary place! its an island, because we are on that island doesnt make us of that descent lol.

And since Britain (Britannia) is what the Romans Named the place after one Celtic tribe and not Anglia (meaning England), or Saxonia(Saxony/Saxonland) which went into making the names of the regions after romans left and the Angles and Saxons arrived. I don't really think it is bad thing. the only discrepency is that the Briton. The whole thing is silly Anyway, one should only call myself "English" if I were descended from the Angles And "Saxish".. like the saxons mainland Europe still do

well thats the same idea as I am Canadian not North American, so that makes complete sence to me!
Monasekata 3 years ago
well it's like i said in the video i was born in England and raised in England and nowhere else so i'm English. so why should i call my self British or European when i have nothing to do with the other countries in both Britain and Europe. i'm on another social networking site where i've joined a group roughly titled the same as this video and i said i'm English not British and i did get a bit of stick for it
sharky1105 3 years ago
it's like in my view the same with the US state Alaska. it was owned by Russia so if you lived there you were Russian but the America bought Alaska off Russia so it then became par of the US so the people who live there are American and you don't see Alaskans calling themselves Russian

i hear you, amazing how kids do that to us LOL makeing me feel old before my time :-P
Monasekata 3 years ago
lol yeah but the only reason there's 13 years between us is cos there's 12 years between me and my older brother
sharky1105 3 years ago
yeah when i had my son my youngest bro was only 12 so him and my son are really close from that, but thats cause i'm 7 year older then my bro
Monasekata 3 years ago
that's pretty much the same difference between my, my youngest sister and out niece. there's 6 years between my and my youngest sister ans she was only 7 at the time of the niece coming along
sharky1105 3 years ago
yeah my other brother is 5 years younger, I find the huge age gaps can be a little confusing for sure, i mean my brothers were still in public school when I was going through my "teen angst " stage, but at least that way they could see what they didn't want to do, so it worked that way
Monasekata 3 years ago
yeah XD there's roughly the same age difference between me and my 3 sisters so at least 2 of us would of been in the same school at the same time but like i said our brother is a few years older then us 4 so he had finished school was before the rest of us did
sharky1105 3 years ago
yeah I know what that is like :-P
Monasekata 3 years ago
but the thing is when i tell people the age of my brother and then the ages of my parents they're like "wow, your mum had ya brother young" but then i have to tell the story of how it all came about
sharky1105 3 years ago
yeah mine too my mom is only 43 she was 17 when i was born so I totaly get that
Monasekata 3 years ago
well that's the thing my mum was 11 when my brother was born so when people find that out they thing my mum got pregnant with him at that age so i have to explain my brother his my half brother
sharky1105 3 years ago
yeah exactly my brothers are my half brothers too

Thank you so much for this video, Mr. Sharky. I really appreciate the response, and I enjoyed hearing your explanation. You are absolutely correct, there is no crime in calling yourself English. In fact, you should be quite proud of your heritage. Good for you!!
I also like how you acknowledge that technically you are both British and European. I really appreciated that. On some level, though, we are all the same no matter where we come from. I think it is good to move forward from here.
