    The only time people in the United Kingdom seem to refer to themselves as ‘British’ is when they are indicating against that category on official forms. Over the past several years there has been a growing trend among British people to identify themselves more closely with their respective ethnic origins. This has been very evident among the English in particular. I believe the English have felt marginalized as a result of devolutionary powers being implemented in Scotland and Wales and also because of a perceived anti – English (working class) bias in the mostly liberal-dominated British media. A good indicator of a growing English consciousness is the ever-increasing use of the cross of St. George flag. This flag was hardly ever seen 10 years ago, but I now I’m seeing it every day, especially in the form of car stickers.
