You took the words out of my mouth I’m 70 and escaped to Spain to retire in the warmth , what was happening in England and getting worse every day we couldn’t afford to live on our pensions and we lived in a small village near Brighton and it was changing daily and getting overcrowded , things need to change back it’s scary for our grandchildren 😢
I feel the same, I loved the way Britain was back in the fifties but now I am ashamed of the way things are at the moment. The politicians have a lot to answer for.
Sunak was actually born in south of England so is English born, I just don’t like what his party has done to this country over the last decade and a quarter. The country has got to get away from just voting for one of the main two parties. People are doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome, it ain’t happening so stop voting Tory or labour. Edit: someone has just posted a fantastic analogy underneath, he needs commending for his work. 😂

I'm a true Brit and proud but extremely disapointed at the state of this country and its downward slippery slope of double standards and the lack of support from the government, our culture has been drowned in hate.
The government are not on our side. That's why we must all unite and fight to reclaim what is ours. If you're waiting for the government to fix things then you'll be waiting for a very long time.

@@interestingvideos4728 well to stop mass immigration and repatriation of immigrants and stop the grooming of kids for a start. Have you been living under a rock for the last couple of years?
We need British leaders who care about our country, puts its indigenous people first, and makes it clear to foreigners that if they want to live here, they must follow OUR way of life, not the other way round. The only British person at the top is Starmer, and unfortunately a lot of people will vote for him simply because of that, forgetting how the Labour party has brought the country to its knees in the past, and would do so again if elected.

The nation is stirring and looking about at the devastation to our country. Our tolerance has reached its limits, and our voices will be raised.

It was in the 70's that I noticed Indian subcontinent immigration to UK (London) became obtrusive. Probably due to Uganda expelling lots of Indians, at that time. The street opposite mine became mainly Indian. Also, it was when London newsagents started to all become Indian. Patel's rather than Bill's or Sam's, etc. The local Odeon cinema suddenly closed and became a bollywood cinema, only catering for Indians. During the 90's, I started to notice schools becoming Islamic, and there were streams of muslim girls wearing scarves over their heads, filtering home to the flats at the bottom of the street when the schools closed in the evening. Little by little the area became less and less English, less and less cockney, until now, it's like living in Bangladesh.
Great statement, if only the politicians, civil servants and judiciary felt the same way! They seem to have been in a hurry to throw away our heritage and traditions from the 70s onwards, and it really went into overdrive in the late 90s when Blair came in. Don't they realise it will affect their children and grandchildren too?

Not accurate, "Britain", "British", "Briton", etc are English words borrowed from Latin (like thousands of other English words) to describe the people who inhabited Britain before the arrival of either the Romans or the English. Likewise the Roman themselves borrowed "Britani" from a word the original "British" used for themselves. With the existence of the English, the word "British" then became defunct for over 1,000 years until the plantation of Ulster when the English and lowland Scots colonists resurrected it in order to distinguish themselves form the native Irish.
@@colinlavery625 Thanks for your comment Colin, but you are wrong. "Brythonic" is a modern English language term for the Celtic languages/dialects that include Welsh and Cornish (and "Cumbric", etc). It was coined by a Welsh language expert in the 19th Century. It is not an ancient word. And as I say, it is also a word that has come into English from Latin. You must understand that Latin was spoken in what is now England before English ever became a language. We know that the Latin word for the "Britons" was "Britani", and it is from "Britani" that the words "Britons", "British", "Britain", "Brythonic", etc, came into English. The original English (i.e Anglo Saxon) term for any "Briton" (living anywhere in Britain) was "Wealas" which evolved in the English language to mean "Welsh". I hope this has helped understand what you are talking about.
i dont know even if i am british.. i mean i was born here .. i am white.. i am not a migrant... i am not a criminal i support christianity.. so i think i am in the minority Group of the U.K
Curious as to why you choose to support Christianity (a foreign religion, brought over with the Roman empire) rather than the many, more authentic pagan religions that actually originated in this country? Sounds like you're supporting the immigrants on that one no?
I am extremely proud to be English because I'm not ignorant of our full history and accomplishments. The UK has done, and still does, far more positive things for global civilisation than negative things.
So you think anyome born here can be British regardless of Racial origins? Does that not create the very problem with are dealing with in three first place plus what about the indigenous white that created the identity does that not discredit there identity.
@@jawz2005 He's a product of immigration that results in multiculturalism and diversity just like yourself probably which is why you don't get it, British identity is Racially just like any other races identity, can an Asian Or White man be Swahili?
I concur with the first interviewee. I was born in England in 1948 to parents of generations of English heritage and I identify as English not British. British can mean these days, any person from anywhere in the world can come here are given a "British" passport and are immediately "British" ..... that's not me!!!

Making hate speech a crime is actually a pretence for shutting down free speech, Hamza knows that Scottish people are unhappy about the way their country is governed, so shutting them up with threats closes down any argument.
We are not going to shut up thought , we'll say what we like as always, accept the consequences and wait for the legislation to be repealed when the idiots in authority realise it's unworkable. Humzs won't be around much longer , he's getting to the point where his incompetence will defeat him. Even his previous supporters are waking up to that and surely Police Scotland don't want to make enemies of us all.
@@harveyneedleman817totally agree, Humza is a temporary setback. He will pass laws and steal some money and then be voted OUT. The English are looking at us and thinking WE are in trouble....I feel sorry for them as their future is bleaker than ours!
I worked for a man back in 1970 he was from a wealthy farming family he showed me his passport one day and it was stamped from all over the world from his travels, I asked him what was the best place he had been to and he said the best place was right here in the UK.
Without question! I am proud to be English and British - and from the United Kingdom. I just wish we could have a government and PM that felt the same.
Has anyone else noticed, that we are self censoring? We all think twice before saying anything now. But the government needs to understand there are millions of us.
I am English and i was proud but no more as we are being beaten down by politicians and the police we feel threatened to speake the truth what is happening to our once lovely country
I'm multicultural. German polish. And born in wales. I am proud of my country. But the one thing i'm not proud of. And i'm ashamed. Is our politicians. And their way their allowing this country to go down the tubes. Freedom of speech. What a joke. Again this is because of our politicians Allowing all of this to go on. In the uk in great britain From the day I was born. There were various different cultures And we got on together I hope everybody has a good day
I'm proud to be British/English. What upsets me is when the England team take the knee and now I've heard that nike have altered the St Georges cross on the collar of the new shirt. All this does is create more division and anger and in my opinion this all comes from the top of Government. It's almost like they want to create division for nefarious purposes?
Anybody and their Dog can call themselves British , and yet have no Loyalty to the Country , I am Proud to be English , just like the Scots , the Welsh and the Irish are Proud of Their Countries .
6:01 this couple are an example of how we have become reluctant to speak their mind and say what they feel, government oppression on free speech and personal freedom 😲
Both my parents are Nigerian (Mum born in England) and I was born and raised in London. I am probably one of the few people of immigrants that feels proud to be British and English. So yeah I am British/English/Londoner with my heritage. Who am I is who I am whether for the best or worst! Good video mate!
yes ..we helped save the world , twice .and those who now want this country to be under their control ,extreme religious views will not win that battle
I'm very proud to be British. I live in Australia and would love to come home. All countries have their problems and if anybody put us down especially in OZ they get my full fury.😂 Love my country.
@jameslooney And what was Zimbabwe before Rhodes arrived? And what was Rhodesia when Idiot Amin arrived. Brits brought civilization, industry, prosperity, railways, health and education. Idiot Amin brought death, hatred, destruction, famine, just like pre Rhodes. Get a brain man. Looney by name and looney by nature. Do yourself a favour. EDUCATE YOURSELF.
A British person with honour, integrity and love to his country should be ashamed, not proud, of what happened to this once great country. For three decades we have seen our history, culture and great achievements desecrated before our eyes and did nothing to stop it. I was a proud British 30 years ago when we had a great armed forces, first class NHS, superior education system and top manufacturing industries. Now all that have gone and we lost our capacity to protect our borders -- all this happened without a single demonstration to force the government to respect our wishes.
Looking into my history over last 800 centurys i find out i am 97% English with a bit of Welsh, Irish & Scotish ... Result!, very proud of every last drop!
Not really proud to be fair as the country is spiralling downward, I used to be overly proud at one time. However, I am proud and lucky to be a patient of the NHS which won’t be for long as it is for sale and will be privatised if you look online. However it is a good country to live in but the cost of living has risen a bit too much and you can tell the strain on the population.
The NHS has been being privatised for years, look a Labours PFIs & how many contracts the Virgin group have in the NHS, its a smoke screen it is being run into the ground by lazy & incompetent managers / Doctors who are interested in one thing, Money & doing nothing for it!
I was proud to be English but getting so disappointed how our country is going I’m losing hope of ever feeling happy to live here anymore, and worried about the future
Everyday British folk are the best as your interviews showed and we are being led down a nasty road by minorities and non British ideologies within our government and they change rules and laws without the majority of the country agreeing.
Paul, stay in your homeland, if we all walked out we'd be giving in to the people that try and deny us of our culture, we need to stay here and defend it for our children.
So proud to be born in the UK, best country in the world, but I despair when I see how low we have sunk, and I despise the people who reduced the country to what it is today. Nice shots of Brighton, I was born and bred there (it’s a ‘foam’ town, where they make good beer)
We rarely seem to learn from history - even the Romas had it figured out 2,000 years ago. It's the Multi Ethnic - Mono Cultural societies that appear to be the most successfull. Even the Roman army was made up of more than half ethnic minorities, We often quote it, but rarely live by it .... "When in Rome do as the Romans do"
My ancestors were Austrian, hence the name, but in WW2 my 4 great uncles all put the uniform on to fight for this country. The problem is that there’s too many here now who don’t have the same attitude and are actually anti British.
What an amazing bunch of interviewees, each and every one had their own spin and opinions but all had a proud undercurrent. Now try that in Central London or on ANY University Campus
Well done, Paul. This is how it should be. People should come here because of what we stand for. Not come here to change us. But unfortunately there is one demographic that has crept in & wants to wipe us off the map. If only we could all be like the people you met today.
St Georges Day, April 23rd, is also the day of Shakespeare's Birthday. An appropriate speech for the march would be Henry V's speech before Agincourt. Have a good day, unfortunately I cannot be with you since I am 88 and a cripple, but I will be around in my chariot with the flag of St George flying at 3 o'clock.
I served this country for 25 years in the armed forces. And I am now ashamed of this country and will be leaving as soon as financially viable. Britain is broken.
I want to be proud to be British but also feel angry, ashamed and embarrassed as to what’s happening to our country!

Curious as to why you choose to support Christianity (a foreign religion, brought over with the Roman empire) rather than the many, more authentic pagan religions that actually originated in this country?
Sounds like you're supporting the immigrants on that one no?
I am extremely proud to be English because I'm not ignorant of our full history and accomplishments. The UK has done, and still does, far more positive things for global civilisation than negative things.
Great. Please more of this Paul. Gives us not British a good insight on what the street really is thinking, away from the mainstream broadcasted.
Sadly some people will never be British no matter how long they will live here, but they love our benefits and housing etc.
So you think anyome born here can be British regardless of Racial origins? Does that not create the very problem with are dealing with in three first place plus what about the indigenous white that created the identity does that not discredit there identity.
PROUD TO BE ENGLISH.
Me too
Well, what a refreshing young black man with the right attitude well done.
He's a product of the problem, stop showing Tolerance that got us here in the first place
@@spike2227how so?
@@jawz2005 He's a product of immigration that results in multiculturalism and diversity just like yourself probably which is why you don't get it, British identity is Racially just like any other races identity, can an Asian Or White man be Swahili?
@@spike2227- Some people confuse patriotism with racism; this is a problem… 🤔
@@Wahgwarn What do you mean exactly
I was born st Georges day. So i always fly my flag❤
Have you seen the crap the FA have come up with for England's Euro 24 kit? Disgraceful
Great let’s stick together and help good old England out it needs our help
I concur with the first interviewee. I was born in England in 1948 to parents of generations of English heritage and I identify as English not British. British can mean these days, any person from anywhere in the world can come here are given a "British" passport and are immediately "British" ..... that's not me!!!
Why don't you apply for an English passport then, if you are not British?
@@user-fh1rz1uq6c Idiot.........I'm English as I was born in England. There is not a country called "Britain". The British Isles are a amalgamation of countries.
I am a proud Englishman. I always have been and always will be.
This is our home and we need to start taking it back.
The term British has little meaning in the world we live in today but i am proud to be English, as we have given the world so much
All Amazing people but that last guy WOW that is the type of people this country is and always be everyobe keep your faith and never lose your spirit, I'm proud to be British ❤️
SEE YOU ALL IN THE CAPITAL............ LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!
Kenyans are amazing peaceful people, never met one that was a thug or aggressive and iv met hundreds of them.
Making hate speech a crime is actually a pretence for shutting down free speech, Hamza knows that Scottish people are unhappy about the way their country is governed, so shutting them up with threats closes down any argument.
We are not going to shut up thought , we'll say what we like as always, accept the consequences and wait for the legislation to be repealed when the idiots in authority realise it's unworkable. Humzs won't be around much longer , he's getting to the point where his incompetence will defeat him. Even his previous supporters are waking up to that and surely Police Scotland don't want to make enemies of us all.
@@harveyneedleman817 A true Scot, good on you, Hamza has severly underestimated the Scottish spirit, their determination to fight injustice
@@harveyneedleman817totally agree, Humza is a temporary setback. He will pass laws and steal some money and then be voted OUT. The English are looking at us and thinking WE are in trouble....I feel sorry for them as their future is bleaker than ours!
👍 exactly, it's happening all over the world. The US are trying to diminish their 1st amendment and it's happening here in the UK. Scary times ahead 😔
You think so? watch.
I worked for a man back in 1970 he was from a wealthy farming family he showed me his passport one day and it was stamped from all over the world from his travels, I asked him what was the best place he had been to and he said the best place was right here in the UK.
Without question!
I am proud to be English and British - and from the United Kingdom.
I just wish we could have a government and PM that felt the same.
Has anyone else noticed, that we are self censoring? We all think twice before saying anything now. But the government needs to understand there are millions of us.
Brilliant video. The last dude really nailed it!
I am English and i was proud but no more as we are being beaten down by politicians and the police we feel threatened to speake the truth what is happening to our once lovely country
I'm multicultural. German polish. And born in wales. I am proud of my country. But the one thing i'm not proud of. And i'm ashamed. Is our politicians. And their way their allowing this country to go down the tubes.
Freedom of speech. What a joke.
Again this is because of our politicians
Allowing all of this to go on.
In the uk in great britain
From the day I was born. There were various different cultures
And we got on together
I hope everybody has a good day
I'm proud to be British/English. What upsets me is when the England team take the knee and now I've heard that nike have altered the St Georges cross on the collar of the new shirt. All this does is create more division and anger and in my opinion this all comes from the top of Government. It's almost like they want to create division for nefarious purposes?
I am Scots and proud to be British, as many of us are up here in the North, do not judge us by the mental Indi lot or the SNP.
😁👍👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Don’t worry we don’t judge you. We love you but dislike the snp
never be scared to talk about your country your culture your history or your way of life , but feel free to do so.
I'm English and we have lost the fight to be English. What with illegal immigration, crime, woke police.
Not yet
Anybody and their Dog can call themselves British , and yet have no Loyalty to the Country , I am Proud to be English , just like the Scots , the Welsh and the Irish are Proud of Their Countries .
Yea, but Scotland, Wales and (part of) Ireland are ruled from England, maybe it's time they took back control.
Big love to all true British citizens.
Proud to be English
Me too
6:01 this couple are an example of how we have become reluctant to speak their mind and say what they feel, government oppression on free speech and personal freedom 😲
Im more proud to be English. Don't know why British gets touted around.
IF YOU COME TO THE CAPITAL ON ST GEORGE'S DAY THE BRITISH PEOPLE WILL SHOW THEIR STRENGTH AND WHY BRITAIN IS GREAT........ LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!
Exactly, I'm English.
Preaching to the choir there
It is the United Kingdom and we are all facing the same threat. I'm English but I am also part of the British isles. 🇬🇧❤️🤍💙
@@d3669h Yep, with different nationalities they are indeed British as a group. 🙂
I am proud to be English and British.
Both my parents are Nigerian (Mum born in England) and I was born and raised in London. I am probably one of the few people of immigrants that feels proud to be British and English. So yeah I am British/English/Londoner with my heritage. Who am I is who I am whether for the best or worst! Good video mate!
should try that question in london !
yes ..we helped save the world , twice .and those who now want this country to be under their control ,extreme religious views will not win that battle
I'm very proud to be British. I live in Australia and would love to come home.
All countries have their problems and if anybody put us down especially in OZ they get my full fury.😂
Love my country.
if you are born English you have won first prize in the lottery of life, to paraphrase Cecil Rhodes !
Who went on to steal Zimbabwe and call it rhodesia 😅
In the past maybe, definitely not anymore
@JAMESLOONEY-kd1nu many Zimbabweans would love to have the country back to how it was under Cecil Rhodes....regardless of race or colour!
@user-og8lk7wv7h your not wrong sir , I've met a few.enjoy your weekend
@jameslooney
And what was Zimbabwe before Rhodes arrived?
And what was Rhodesia when Idiot Amin arrived.
Brits brought civilization, industry, prosperity, railways, health and education.
Idiot Amin brought death, hatred, destruction, famine, just like pre Rhodes. Get a brain man. Looney by name and looney by nature.
Do yourself a favour. EDUCATE YOURSELF.
I am PROUD to be English.
A British person with honour, integrity and love to his country should be ashamed, not proud, of what happened to this once great country. For three decades we have seen our history, culture and great achievements desecrated before our eyes and did nothing to stop it. I was a proud British 30 years ago when we had a great armed forces, first class NHS, superior education system and top manufacturing industries. Now all that have gone and we lost our capacity to protect our borders -- all this happened without a single demonstration to force the government to respect our wishes.
100% correct 👍
I am so proud to be british my Grandad was one the first pearly kings off London.i am mixed race and love this country
As the Son of Irish parents born in England
I do not call myself English but i am proud to
Call myself British
I'm not Irish, Scottish,or Welsh, I'm English 🏴🇬🇧
Looking into my history over last 800 centurys i find out i am 97% English with a bit of Welsh, Irish & Scotish ... Result!, very proud of every last drop!
@kevinparker461😁👍❤️🤍💙
Proud to be English and British 🏴🇬🇧🏴
Absolutely.🏴🇬🇧
talking about the weather, isn't it so british ? 💂♂️ all the best from Poland
I Love Polska , very proud people, Dzienkuje Kuba 👍
I'm ashamed of what our country has become. I am proud to be English 🏴🇬🇧
Keep up the good work Paul it’s appreciated!
Not really proud to be fair as the country is spiralling downward, I used to be overly proud at one time. However, I am proud and lucky to be a patient of the NHS which won’t be for long as it is for sale and will be privatised if you look online. However it is a good country to live in but the cost of living has risen a bit too much and you can tell the strain on the population.
The NHS has been being privatised for years, look a Labours PFIs & how many contracts the Virgin group have in the NHS, its a smoke screen it is being run into the ground by lazy & incompetent managers / Doctors who are interested in one thing, Money & doing nothing for it!
Yes. No Question.
No, but I'm proud to be English!
I'm English and proud of that.
I was proud to be English but getting so disappointed how our country is going I’m losing hope of ever feeling happy to live here anymore, and worried about the future
Everyday British folk are the best as your interviews showed and we are being led down a nasty road by minorities and non British ideologies within our government and they change rules and laws without the majority of the country agreeing.
Its scary just watching this couple feeling that they have to be so guarded..what the hell has happened to the UK
Paul, stay in your homeland, if we all walked out we'd be giving in to the people that try and deny us of our culture, we need to stay here and defend it for our children.
I am proud to be English and proud to be British and proud to be a citizen of the UK.
Fabulous post Paul and a well balanced selection of people to interview.
I am proud to be British. 🖐
Yaa I'm not British I'm English same as! 🌄👍☀️
I full heartedly agree. I was adopted from a Thailand by white Swedish parents, grew up in Sweden and now living in England with my English husband
So proud to be born in the UK, best country in the world, but I despair when I see how low we have sunk, and I despise the people who reduced the country to what it is today.
Nice shots of Brighton, I was born and bred there (it’s a ‘foam’ town, where they make good beer)
I am English and its a insult to be called British to me
We rarely seem to learn from history - even the Romas had it figured out 2,000 years ago. It's the Multi Ethnic - Mono Cultural societies that appear to be the most successfull. Even the Roman army was made up of more than half ethnic minorities,
We often quote it, but rarely live by it .... "When in Rome do as the Romans do"
My ancestors were Austrian, hence the name, but in WW2 my 4 great uncles all put the uniform on to fight for this country. The problem is that there’s too many here now who don’t have the same attitude and are actually anti British.
What an amazing bunch of interviewees, each and every one had their own spin and opinions but all had a proud undercurrent. Now try that in Central London or on ANY University Campus
Political treachery and naive virtue signallers are to blame. 🤬
Well done, Paul. This is how it should be. People should come here because of what we stand for. Not come here to change us. But unfortunately there is one demographic that has crept in & wants to wipe us off the map. If only we could all be like the people you met today.
It's the same everywhere they go. 👍🇬🇧❤️🤍💙
What demographic is that?
100% proud!! 🇬🇧♥️
I'm English, I don't need a politically proscribed identity.
Born in England.
Live in England.
Speak English.
..I am an English man..
And, proud of it.
A dog being born in a stable does not make it a horse.
Well done Paul!
St Georges Day, April 23rd, is also the day of Shakespeare's Birthday. An appropriate speech for the march would be Henry V's speech before Agincourt. Have a good day, unfortunately I cannot be with you since I am 88 and a cripple, but I will be around in my chariot with the flag of St George flying at 3 o'clock.
Love your first contribution. Since I would never ever say I was British. Love from north of the wall
That last guy interviewed was a breath of fresh air. Love his attitude.
I'm not British i am English.
Yes, bring back the trades! So much expertise. ❤
I served this country for 25 years in the armed forces. And I am now ashamed of this country and will be leaving as soon as financially viable. Britain is broken.
Proud to be English been a captive nation of the British from 1707
