Are you proud to be british?
I feel currently I am proud to be British as in this current moment. There is no denying that the question comes with historical connotations which for me I find hard to grapple with. Colonisation is still affecting the world today- we created countries by drawing lines on a map without any regards to their geographic situation (landlocked) or ethnic situation ( conflicts and territories). As a direct result there are countries that will be stuck in a cycle of conflict and will never develop due to their land locked nature. In this sense I am not proud to be british. Overall however I feel I am more proud than ashamed due to factors such as WW2, Current international leadership and things like our sport, but our dark collective history does when thinking about this question still weigh on my mind.
