hmm interesting
What sort of percentage will they need to see before it's released as a statistic?
I know a lot of people put Jedi but I can't ever remember hearing Britain being described as"30%christian, 40%muslim,15% atheist and 15% jedi" or whatever on the news.

I just opted out. TBH, I wonder who approves the questions in the first place. Race ****ed me off, why include the phrase british in the same box as English with the subjugated nations. I am not British, I don't consider myself English. I am Lancastrian and proud. Britain and england have skint me for no good reason. I would rather support and be allied to where what I do can make a difference

Seen a map lately ?

We should be proud to be english / british and not all split into our own little sections, otherwise we will lose our indentity forever.
The bloody cornish are the same, fine if thats what they want, then all the funding from central can stop as well, lets see how self funding they can be, put a big feck off wall up and see how they cope.

You could say the same, he doesn't want to be British and lose his Lanc identity. God knows why

Being a load of little sections is what Britain and the British are. There never was, and hopefully never will be, any one British identity.

I disagree, there never has been one English identity, I'm not a monkey hanger or a sheep shagger or a southern poof. Let alone any ridiculous ideas about me "identifying" as a pasty faced porridge muncher.
