00:00My Britishness, my patriotism is from things like the in-betweeners.

00:06As a black British person, I don't think, what is there to be proud of?

00:10It's interesting though because so much of the culture that I've experienced is kind of

00:16black, I think black British culture is something completely different

00:19from British culture in general, but if you look around there's more homelessness,

00:23there's people using food banks, the government has basically destroyed this country

00:28over consecutive years, and then we can look at the colonial history of

00:34Britain and the UK as well.

00:37I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing because pride in being any nationality can mean

00:42a lot of things. I don't think it's bad that nationalism is at low or anything, but I do think

00:50the meaning of being British has changed. Obviously, look at me,

00:54I wouldn't say that 60 years ago I'd be considered British,

00:57but here I am, I've been here for my whole life.
