only one in six english feel more british than english...

I doubt that anyone gives much of a toss as to what Ruth Davidson thinks. Or the Scots. Or the Ulster folk. In fact, I am not overly sure that Ulster men and women think much beyond the next school to bomb.

The problem is Tommy, that you seem to have a vision of some northern powerhouse upon whose every utterance the south listens with bated breath. In practice, the economy, population and culture of Scotland and Northern Ireland are so insignificant that they could be dropped in the Hyde Park Boating Lake and you would not see the splash

hope it doesnt rain too hard on the bunting.

The purpose of my post is to show

1. what english people think on nat identity

2. how british people in scotland and england compare.

Did you miss the point once again and as ever  , when faced with uncomfortable truths take a big diversion into borkie la lal land?

The British Future report reckons only one in six people in England feels more British than English, and they are more likely to be young, urban, liberal, pro-European and from ethnic and faith minorities.

Scotland, in this sense, really is a foreign country, where feeling more British "has precisely the inverse sociological correlations: being older, more Christian, whiter, more right-leaning and more Eurosceptic", according to British Future



The 'British' in Scotland and N. Ireland are nothing like the British in England. Polar opposites. Like NI, our British voted Leave, while the Brits in England voted Remain. 'Scots' voted Remain, while the 'English' voted leave etc.
This is why you have e.g. Brexiters from Scotland/England attacking Ulster Scots; the 'culture' of the orange order. It's why Johnson is happy to shaft his strongest allies in NI etc, and has Ruth Davidson attacking him...
Unionism is utterly divided.
