According to Wikipedia, "#Britishness [i.e. British identity] is the state or quality of being British or of embodying British characteristics. It comprises the claimed qualities that bind and distinguish the British people and form the basis of their unity and identity."
According to me, British identity is an Orwellian construct based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.
To identify with Britain as one's nation is to identify with, i.e. to love, #BigBrother.
Britain is a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation.

This is how Big Brother disguises & legitimises himself, his minions in the British establishment, & the immense power they wield & abuse. He is far more subtle than as portrayed by #GeorgeOrwell in 1984.

In medieval times, all Europe (i.e. White people) were united behind Big Brother in the form of the Church & its teachings, including that of Original Sin, from which only submission to Church authority & ideology could deliver one from eternal damnation.
The splintering & decline of Church authority led to Big Brother, now in the form of the modern #NationState, to seek an alternative ideology to serve as an instrument of socio-political rewards, intimidation & control.
This alternative he found, initially, in the form of fascism & communism, & after their failure & defeat, in the #AntiFascism & #AntiRacism of #LiberalDemocracy, taking them to the opposite but equally insane extremes of Nazi fascism & antisemitism.
