	Xenophobe's Guide to the English: Nationalism and Identity
		The English have a natural distrust of the unfamiliar and nowhere is this more clearly seen than in their attitude to the geography of their own country.
		Xenophobia (Actually the English prefer "xenolipi" (pity for foreigners) but both words, being foreign in origin, are of limited pertinence in any case), although a Greek word, has its spiritual home in the English dictionary where it is drily defined as an "abstract" noun.
		For the rest of Europe, as far as the English are concerned, the Italians are hysterical and dishonest; the Spanish, lazy; the Russians, gloomy; and the Scandinavians, Dutch, Belgians and Swiss, dull.

	English Civic Nationalism - Gareth Young
		Scottish nationalism was, and still is, a hybrid of civic and ethnic nationalism, but the path to independence - temporarily stalled by devolution - was driven mostly by ethnic nationalism and a deep-rooted pathological hatred of the English.
		The implication being that English nationalism is purely an ethnic nationalism based on skin colour (see The England Project).
		The United Kingdom was a nationality not a nation, one that had taught 'its citizens at one and the same time to glory both in the name of Scotsmen or Welshmen or Englishmen and in the name of Britons.' (Barker 1928: 17).

		English people were opposed to the changing methods of French cuisine, claiming that the French were retreating from their national customs, something that no red-blooded Englishman would ever consider.
		He also shows that the patriots' nationalism was simultaneously a display of love for their country and a response to the fear of changing times.
		He embraced English cuisine and was appalled by the French, and Rogers describes him as an artist in the mould of previous English artists who drew on popular culinary prejudice.

	The Hindu : It's the English now
		``English nationalism is the most dangerous form of nationalism of all that can arise within the United Kingdom, because England is five-sixths of the population of the U.K.,'' he said.
		He also warned of the potential of English nationalism to destroy the U.K. ``Once a part of the united country or kingdom that is so predominant in size becomes nationalistic, then really the whole thing is under threat,'' he said.
		A newly-formed campaign has demanded devolution of power to the English regions in order to assuage resentment at the power that was being given to other parts of the U.K. In a policy statement, it warned that the current constitutional arrangement was ``unstable with a growth in tension between the English regions and the rest''.

	Government 100
		And since regional nationalism fits in with the politics of European integration (the "Europe of regions"), Scottish and Welsh nationalists are favorably disposed toward the European Union.
		This strain of English nationalism has arisen just at the time that the Scottish National Party is downplaying its call for independence because it has run foul of big business interests, who fear that it will raise taxes.
		A sense of national identity, a knowledge of who you are and where you come from, seems to be essential for the psychic health of any society.

	George Orwell: Notes on Nationalism
		Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.
		English left-wing intellectuals did not, of course, actually want the Germans or Japanese to win the war, but many of them could not help getting a certain kick out of seeing their own country humiliated, and wanted to feel that the final victory would be due to Russia, or perhaps America, and not to Britain.
		It is enough to say that, in the forms in which it appears among English intellectuals, it is a distorted reflection of the frightful battles actually happening in the external world, and that its worst follies have been made possible by the breakdown of patriotism and religious belief.

		Without an inclusive national story there is a danger of Balkanisation, with people voting and identifying according to race and religion, rather than economic and social interests.
		English separatism is also on the rise as a direct result of ignoring English demands for national self determination on the same terms as the Scots.
		This is because the English, along with their neo-colonial replacements, are ‘racists’ (or ethnocentric or whatever relevant term you wish to give it) who wish to be amongst their own kith and kin.

	English nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		English nationalism is the name given to a nationalist political movement in England that demands self-government for England, via a devolved English Parliament.
		The English nationalist movement has its roots in a perception amongst many people in England that they are English, rather than British.
		Although it has lacked a parliament or government of its own since the Act of Union 1707, many English people still regard their nation to be a country in its own right and not merely a constituent part of the United Kingdom.

	English-Canadian Nationalism in Decline
		English-Canadian nationalism, defined as the pursuit of more cultural and economic independence from the United States, has been in steady decline for more than 10 years and will likely continue to decline into the next century, according to U of T political scientist Sylvia Bashevkin.
		Bashevkin has studied Canadian nationalism since the Macdonald Royal Commission recommended free trade in the mid-1980s and says that a long string of policy defeats coupled with patterns of regionalism and internal differences among English-Canadian nationalists have led to the marginalization of the movement today.
		"Regional divisions within Canada and the fact that English-Canadian nationalism is overwhelmingly an Ontario-based phenomenon of the political left explains some of the decline, given that the political left in Ontario is very weak," explains Bashevkin.

	Book Review: Kumar, English National Identity
		The English identity that Kumar eventually delivers is clearly a creation of and reaction to the forces of modernity rather than the expression of some “primordial” or centuries-old ethnic affection.
		This was a restrained Whig nationalism that extolled English liberties and institutions, English pragmatism and hardheadedness, while celebrating the English countryside, the “south country”; in particular, the England of tourist brochures.
		This “missionary” or imperial identity as Kumar calls it cultivated among the English the sense that they were “too big” for conventional notions of nation as expressed on the continent, an identity that made it “unnecessary” for the English to ask the searching questions about themselves that other nations came to ponder.

		As someone that counts himself as an English nationalist – a civic nationalist – I was offended by these remarks and responded to Alibhai-Brown and Cable (see The Green Ribbon) in the same knee-jerk way that they no doubt made their remarks.
		The problem for English nationalists like myself, is that for all our best intentions – arguing for an English parliament that represents all English people regardless of ethnicity – there is no civic nationalism in England, not for immigrants, not for anybody.

		On the contrary, the origins of modern nationalism in the 18th century point us to the ideals of equality of men through citizenship, democratic government for all peoples, and peaceful relations among free States.
		In the context of a colonization by a foreign power, the nationalism of a conquered people can be and has often been a progressive liberation movement.
		In the context of a territorial expansion or consolidation, the nationalism of a strong people is generally akin to imperialism.

		Say NO to ‘English Nationalism’ and other form of regionalism - but more importantly step away from these ‘little solutions’ and embrace the world-wide doctrine of White Nationalism and the Pan-Aryan ideal.

		He argues that the long history of the English as an imperial people has, as with other imperial people like the Russians and the Austrians, developed a sense of missionary nationalism which in the interests of unity and empire has necessitated the repression of ordinary expressions of nationalism.

		Newman argues that the sketches of William Hogarth and the stories of Henry Fielding demonstrated concern for the loss of the English character and the imposition of alien manners and morals.
		A parallel scholarly revision stimulated nationalist historiography and ethnic consciousness, elevating the English national character to a mythic ideal.

		Kumar’s argument is not a defense of or an apology for English conquest and brutality, especially in Catholic Ireland.
		The downplaying of English nationalism helped them create and dominate Great Britain, and together an empire was built that also tended to soft-peddle English identity in the interests of a larger imperial and missionary project.
		English nationalism seems to be emerging with new strength, after the end of empire, as Britain is becoming more decentralized and as globalization changes the nation’s very cultural and ethnic character.

		English is being indigenous, being white and from this country.
		By emphasizing English grievances, and by emphasizing how the central government's notion of British values fail, you are emphasizing negative things (however justified you may be to do so).
		That was the beauty of the Founders' original idea of limited government at the national level-- if you didn't like some aspect of the laws and their consequences in one state, you could move to another state to be free of them, and still be an American.

	NATIONALISM AND HISTORICAL LOSS IN RENAISSANCE ENGLAND
		According to Escobedo, the English experienced nationalism as a form of community that disrupted earlier religious and social identities, making it difficult to link the national present to the medieval past.
		Furthermore, he argues, the English faced the nation’s temporal isolation before the Enlightenment narrative of historical progress emerged as a means to interpret novelty in a positive light.
		“Nationalism and Historical Loss in Renaissance England is an important contribution to the study of Renaissance historiography and to current scholarship on several of the most significant early modern English writers.

		The wealth of the nation he will most justly esteem to be his wealth, the power his power, the security and the honor, his security and honor....
		To make government effectual to all the good purposes of it, there must be a religion; this religion must be national; and this national religion must be maintained in reputation and reverence; all other religions or sects must be kept too low to become the rivals of it.

	Turkish Weekly Articles - A Comparative Analysis Of Nationalism, National Identity And Britishness/Englishness
		She argues that three distinguished nations, namely, the English, the Scots and the Welsh, developed a British identity, which is, in many respects, different from its constituents.
		As the English population is much more than even the sum of the rest, -Scots and the Welsh, it does not seem reasonable to suggest that the new identity does not contain the dominant character of the English.
		The English aristocracy, which used to be Francophile prior to the revolution, then sought to identify itself; as French identity would have certainly been inapplicable to its members.
