The only one proud to be british was the only one with an english accent 😂

Ironically, The Welsh and Cornish are considered to be among the most Brythonic (or Brittonic) people in the UK because they have preserved their ancient Celtic heritage and languages, which are direct descendants of the Brittonic languages spoken in Britain before the Romans, Viking, Anglo-Saxon and Norman invasions.

Fun fact: J.R.R. Tolkien was proud to be English but didn't identify as British. He disliked the idea of Britishness as being imperialistic and abandoning the Anglo-Saxon roots.

Funnily enough, "British" is the original word for Welsh people, who were subjugated by Anglo-Saxons (ie, English) from overseas. They referred to the native British people as "Welsh" which means "foreigner". So purely linguistically these people are all saying "I'm not native, I'm foreign"

[TheDeadlyTikka]

Even as an English person I've never understood the whole British thing. I am English. Welsh are Welsh, Scots are Scots we should all be proud of that

[jimso]

The Welsh and the Scottish people are proud to be from the land of their birth and that’s how it should be 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Bro I’m from England but to see how much pride these Welsh people have in their identity and community gets my respect. ❤

[miguelramirez]

Nothing wrong with being proud of their specific identity, ancestry and cultural background! Bravo 💪

[STUCASHX]

As a proud English man I'm proud of my neighbors who proclaimed they were proud to be Welsh. The union is for mutual cooperation not "cultural dilution".

[Essexboy]

And you keep your Welsh pride. As an englishman born and bred I'm proud of you welshmen and women neighbours keeping patriotic ❤

[EmperorsNewWardrobe]

I call myself English. Not for any negative or standoffish reasons, only that it doesn’t make much conceptual sense given that Wales, Scotland and Ireland have distinct cultures. And if I were from there, I too would want to highlight my identity by their name, as these gents do

[TP-flul]

It's great to hear that people proud of being their own nation!

[depthjunkie]

As a welshman with a Welsh father and an English mother. I am proud to be Welsh & also British.
