    The Suffragette's suspended their campaign and helped the war effort.
    That's patriotic

      Lmao! No! They saw the war as an opportunity to push women into the workplace and take up masculine roles. It was a transition from 1st wave to 2nd wave feminism.

    I'm a left leaning liberal but I love England and our national identity. I don't see why that should be framed as a bad thing. I don't view our country as inherently superior. There is beauty in the culture and national identity of countries all over the world. We can still consider ourselves an interconnected global society but one of distinct and beautiful countries and people who respect and admire each other

      Beautifully put. Well done, Sir.
      I take issue with the illiberalism of this present Government. But I do not believe its most controversial elements, namely the clamping down on protests or its hostile immigration policies, represent this country or its values. The British people are a profoundly decent lot, who have made enormous sacrifices in the interests of their neighbours. Even in these confused, chaotic times, Britain remains an inherently decent, liberal nation.

    The Soldier, written in 1914 during WW1
    If I should die, think only this of me:
    That there's some corner of a foreign field
    That is for ever England. There shall be
    In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
    A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
    Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
    A body of England's, breathing English air,
    Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
    And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
    A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
    Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
    Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
    And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
    In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

      Exactly. Funny how the strongest proponents of patriotism are those who benefit the most from it. Look at Brexit for example, whilst the average British citizen is likely to become poorer as a result of leaving the EU both financially and culturally, those politicians and businessmen who fed us lies to appeal to our sense of patriotism are likely to benefit hugely. Not a new thing though when you think about it, who benefitted most from Britain's past expansionist policies because it certainly wasn't the average British citizen including those who were fighting to expand the British empire. To me Britain is a prime example of cleverly exploiting peoples' sense of patriotism to motivate them to act against their own self interests. I am from the UK and I love the UK but I am from a working class family and can see so clearly the damage patriotism/nationalism has done to other countries, cultures and the working class.

    Funny how those who espouse patriotism in the UK appear to be those who have benefitted the most from it, I'm sensing a theme here, not surprising. If you look back in history, British and indeed English patriotism has been used as a tool to justify and motivate people to do all manner of unspeakable things. After all, why would a poor working class individual enlist in a war from which he is unlikely to benefit in any way and possibly deny his struggling family their primary bread winner. It'z crazy when you think about it. I think a bit of friendly patriotism is not so bad when it comes to sporting events though a bit pointless when you think about it, and patriotism can also be the motivation for good but I would say this is the exception to the rule.

      It’s seems like you don’t understand what a community and culture is. People are willing to fight to keep their way of life, not everybody is only looking for personal benefits.
      Also do you have some examples of your idea that patriotism have been used to manipulate the masses?
