    Really depends where you are for people to be “patriotic” I live in a mixed area outside lisburn and most people around it couldn’t give a fuck about the royal family or British shite, go into a nationalist area and it’ll be the same. Places like sandy row or shankill obviously will have more people who are proud to be British and fans of the royal family.

      In a mixed area though obviously wouldn’t have it because it’s mixed. Same with nationalist.

        Right, so the majority of people here aren’t patriotic. Recent studies/polls shows that most people here don’t identify as British so that would be those that identify as Irish/Northern Irish and they’re unlikely to be patriotic to Britain.

          That’s not what the 2021 census says. 31% identify as British only and 19% as Northern Irish only
