Petition Action

English - English are English then British

Additional Information

Too often is England regarded as Britain.

Why should the English be referred to as British all the time but when it's a Scottish person or Welshman they are called by their respective nationality.

Why should Welsh and Scottish buildings (especially Government and Tourist sites) fly their Countries flag but the English fly the Union Flag and not the St Georges Cross?

Why should surveys give the option of British, Welsh, Irish and Scottish but never English?

Why should our National Flag be allowed to be flown manky and torn?
Why should the English Flag only be seen as a Sporting Flag?
Why should the British Flag be found when you search 'English Flag' but never when you search Irish, Welsh or Scottish Flag?'

We are surely all proud to be British but the English should not be deemed racist or Anti-British to want Englishness before Britishness!

The English should be shown as English first and not be hidden under a United flag unlike other Home Nations.
