The National Wales ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó ¿ (@nationalwales) Tweeted: What is Englishness and why does it matter?
We caught up with Professor Richard Wyn Jones - who has just co-authored a book on the subject - to find out.
Here is your Sunday morning long read ☕ï¸ðŸ’ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿

The English are a very strange breed, almost impossible to work out. |  |

They are no more difficult to work out than any other nationality. They are no stranger to me people who think they are more Welsh than other Welsh people. It's also unfair to say people in Cornwall are the same as people in Northumberland or Yorkshire.
People are just people, wherever you go so maybe cut out the xenophobia. |  |

Your last paragraph, has hit the nail squarely on the head. I picture Trampie as that hapless white guy in "love thy neighbour," I just hope he lives next door to an English family. |  | | |

It's not my book it's partly done by a well respected professor and it's taken years and years to try and work them out and I bet he hasn't fathomed them out even after all that effort. | |

An American bloke living in Wales spends ten years writing about English people, trying to shoehorn 50 million individuals into a neat and tidy box.
I might buy his book in case we have another toilet roll shortage. |  |

Agree, the both are beyond pathetic, killing a tidy message board. |  |

Seems to be a difference between those that identify as English compared to those that identify as British. | |

The English are far more jingoistic than the Welsh or Scots, they have their little flags and England t shirts wherever they go. | | | |

Seriously! When are you going to with your silly xenophobic posts on here, oh and Brexit the will of the people has happened, time to come out of your time warp.
I sincerely hope when you attain gainful employment, you will see the world in a different light.
Thank you. | |

I concur.
Welsh indys posting on a football board of a team that plays in the English football league, although if we get independence they want to continue playing in the English league.
Thick as shite. |  | | |

Why do you go and watch Glasgow Rangers playing Pencoed, what is that all about ?, I thought this was a Swans fans site. | |

Swansea all day long.
As a ST for 30 odd years & watching Glasgow’s number 1 side occasionally I personally don’t see the issue, much stranger that people harp on about Celtic if they never watched them ..... it’s like the plastic scousers & mancs who live in South Wales.
I do find it bizarre that people follow a club who play in a league of a country they want independence from. [Post edited 14 Mar 2021 17:13]

Kilkenny or myself are not xenophobic, now the empire has crumbled those groups that used to be the butt of xenophobic jokes give a bit of banter back in kind and the group that used to give it out in some cases can't take, phycologists reckon it's because they are not used to taking it only giving it out, I think the term is snowflakes. | |

Why watch Glasgow Rangers, what is your connection to them ?, it's a long way from Pencoed to Ibrox to see a team play in what some people call a pub league (by the way I don't subscribe to the pub league thing). | |
