SW's View of the English

I'm an American, though I can trace much of my family back to UK from the 19th Century onward, to also includes Scandinavian lineage.

On a personal level, I enjoy my Brit roots, my cousins came over from Bath, England for a first in the 1980's and it was very enjoyable, particularly coming ftf with family who were immediate cousins whom I'd no idea [i]of[/i]

Perhaps a bit unlike yourself, I do wave my nation's flag. Not so much externally, as I have run up our nation's flag on a tall flag pole at my home....yet I make no secret of the fact that, despite the failing of my nation throughout it's history, and those events are many fold, I still believe that America is THE last bulwark, with the assistance from it's NATO partners throughout the world, in acting as a deterrent to both communist, and despot aggression.
To be clear, I've spent a host of my time in my nation's armed forces, and I lost a grandfather, I was never priviliged to meet, killed by a Nazi U-boat during WWII, and if I were to be allowed to speak his voice from his grave from the bottom of the sea.....just outside [i]your[/i] country, I suspect he would state that, not unlike England and the rest of UK, they have been our greatest partners in the struggle to maintain our personal freedoms.
And yest, there are those who come in to power whom, I question their loyalty and sense of history of my country, but I rest in finality in the fact that, unlike an unfortunate country as Russia, Iran or other corrupt country, the people DO have a say. But it IS up to the working, blue collar individual in any or our countries.....freedom loving people....from the tip of northern Europe, throughout America and other parts of the world to do THEIR part, to ensure that in the end....that sense of democracy reigns supreme. We, the PEOPLE need to continue to exert our will over the politicol's...to keep them honest and let them know that we as a collective are watching.
I've either said too much, or not enough "J".....I could prattle on, but what would that accomplish right? Just my two cents, it doesn't make me right.

They’re all wankers

I'm not an anglophobe but a misanglist. Give our marbles back 🙄

[quote]What do you think of the English?[/quote]

They're great but I couldn't eat a whole one.

My grandfather flew for Britain during WWII, but turned down the offer of citizenship after the war. My mother remains a proud Anglo-Polish. I was born in England and am proud to be British. But I recently obtained a Polish passport because I am European also 🇬🇧🇵🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Like everywhere, both good and bad are represented. I have English friends online and in rl. But this meme tickles me, because there’s a bit of truth to it:

Im not an anglophobe. clicked l
on the option accidently :(

I like you guys, with your tea and biscuits, and "Lorrys" and all.
Most Britains I've come across on Sw, and back in the EP days, are all very nice people.

I am English through and
through Proud of my countrys
History so much we did right
and so much we did wrong
but since the days of this idiot
being put into a position where
he had influence and then
control of the country I am
totally ashamed and
embarassed by the way
some of the general public
have changed without
realising they were played
for fools by the king fools

I wish the French won in America. At least it would give me an excuse for not bathing and for smoking

Well....there we have it then. And you've succumbed to the bludgeoning of popular society's white guilt about who you are.
I'm a few ancestors removed, but my family is from UK and Scandinavia. Both are for the most part, white. Develop your spine, realize that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being born who you are despite what the engineers of socialism try to make you feel guilty about.
Embrace yourself.....be happy you live in a free society.....that you have options in life. Trash any feeling of guilt.

I am somewhat of an Anglophile. But I will say I like them because I'm not the type of person who loves countries or people in them without critical thought

We're ok

'Royal Britannia, Marmalade and Jam,
5 Chinese crackers up ya ass,
Going bang bang bang bang baaang!'

They're pretty cool... except they drink tea and are confused about what a biscuit is 😁. Oh yeah, they make superior mystery movies.

My brother in law was a Brit. He was a good guy.
I liked the Tudor line. Some of you soccer teams are good.

You guys would be better off without the royals though.

I love that profile image. A great photo of a beautiful young woman. It looks like a typical "head shot" of a starlet

I Love British People Especially the ones on here & Tik Tok You Guys Are Nice People I would love to visit your Country

i love england... never been, but i think its probably one of the best people of the world.... super welcoming

Oh, I almost forgot, I love British comedy.

I'm English and I think that the sort of English people that others would hate are the same ones that we hate anyway 🤔

I love England, so many my favorite bands and movies from England, I ahev visit many times, to Manchester, to London, to me is the coolest county in Europe! 100% Anglophile!

Stuffy sort convinced their farts are a bleedin givt to the table rable as say shay.

Some thos blokes should just add a cardinal hat to that sissy skirt.

Ive meet some really cool English folk and some not so much. As far as music goes, you cant beat em. A large part of my ancestors came from England, so I do have a soft spot for em.

Im reading Harry Potter with a British reader thing. Sounds better. Maybe I'll pick up the snobby accent

I’m marrying one this July. We’ve been together for five years. I still think the accent is sexy af.

I’m English. English people generally aren’t the friendliest but I love England as a country.

You lot have the best accents. Also some of my favourite authors. Plus the double-decker buses are cute.

I was surprised by the number of hot Brit women here, honestly. Quite the fun bunch.

Most English people with "get up and go", get up and go....😷

Or, at least the few who answer this questions poll.

I think they are Brilliant

Theres good and bad everywhere🤷‍♂️

I like 'em 😜

I'll pop the kettle on

I'm okay with English people.
Yeah, there's some shitty history on my mother's side with the British government, but I think the average English person is alright.
Plus I grew up on your comedy.

Unless you'd go to a doctor to be treated for it, I wouldn't refer to something as a "phobia"
