This Sceptred Isle

Do paying taxes and contributing to society matter when it comes to who is counted as English, Scottish or Welsh? The British Future report This Sceptred Isle asks the public what they think about questions of identity, inclusion and immigration.

Does ethnicity matter? Does being born somewhere make a difference to being regarded as “from” England, Scotland or Wales?

Also read articles on English anxiety, Scottish civic identity, Welsh feelings about its flag, England’s attachment to countryside as a source of pride, as well as an argument for a mild change in St George’s Day, and reports on attitudes to an English anthem.
