The English should be proud to be English. Love from Australia.
-
We Are The Ænglisc. It makes a refreshing change for a history channel to get the backstory right for the English peoples. Ten out of ten for research.
-
I thank the English for my native language, the Enlightenment, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Burke, the Pilgrims, the Constitution, and America.
-
As a Welsh person, the English should be proud of their heritage, it's extraordinary, I know it wasn't pretty, but who's was !?! But these days I count them as my country men and I would rather have them as my neighbour than most.
-
"From Beowulf to Shakespeare to Tolkien ..." What a wonderful line to draw through English history! Great work, FoL!
-
No wonder English rock bands found such a warm welcome in Hamburg in the 60s---they were coming back to the ancestral Saxon homeland!
-
Irishman here , that was an amazing story and the english should be proud of your culture and people

I am an eleventh generation American. My people came here in 1654 from Essex, England. Our ancestor was named Thomas Brinson. I think of myself as a transplanted English person. Thanks for this great video!
-
It's nice to hear an American speak so lovingly and respectfully about the English. Rightly so too I say! Young whippet snapper 😊
-
I’ve found over time I am tired of being lumped in with the “British” and am starting to embrace the “English” label much more. England is my home, my culture my family and who I am. ❤️ 🏴
-
I am truly grateful for what English people have achieved which contributes a great deal in shaping the modern world that I live in.
-
As a Norwegian, I am proud of my English cousins :)
-
Never apologize for your heritage or ancestry. Always be proud of who you are
-
This is an excellent video. I’m an ex Cambridge student and I still have connections to the university. I asked a history professor about this. He’s not aware of any re-categorisation but he’s going to investigate further. It always amazes me how much hatred England receives on the back of ill informed “experts”. I think I’ll use this video as a reference for years to come.

Another English American here with an Anglo-saxon last name. Proud to be apart of this great heritage of seafarers and conquerors who then came to this land. Not ashamed of a single bit of it, but honored. The story will go on. Cheers to all my brothers across the world. Great video.

I'm proud to be an Englishman🏴

I love English. Thank God for England and their contribution to world civilization.

I’ve seen a lot of documentaries and read a great deal on this subject, but this was by far the best documentary that I’ve seen on English history
-
As a Norwegian, English history is very interesting. Much respect ❤
