SevenRivers Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Most northerners I've come across are proud of their country and seem more parochial, and will dispise Londoners becuase of its diversity and acceptance of 'foreigners' Considering how many Londoners and people from greater London turned out for things like the Jubilee, Royal Wedding, Olympics etc I'd say the southern UK is just as patriotic as the north.

LeMaquis Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Most northerners I've come across are proud of their country and seem more parochial, and will dispise Londoners becuase of its diversity and acceptance of 'foreigners' The Royal Family has for many centuries accepted foreigners into its fold. Are you saying that it is unpatriotic to support the Royal Family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Even our language isn't native to these lands. Yes it is. We know it has Germanic origins but if the English language as it is today, as we know it today ,developed in England, then for all intents and purposes it truly is Englands language.

Harleyman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 London was always a destination for immigrants. Hugenots from France, Chinese, Lombards, people from eastern Europe. Scratch the surface of any native Londoner and he or she has very likely some of that blood in the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it wasn't England's language... However, it's basis is not from these islands. The native languages of the british isles are the celtic languages. English is as good example as you can get of the people living here taking ideas and concepts from other countries and adapting and improving on them.
