The UK has a rich history of art, literature, science, and culture that should be celebrated. It is important to be proud of who you are and where you come from. National pride can be expressed in many ways, such as celebrating holidays, flying flags, and singing the national anthem. However, it is important that national pride is not expressed in a way that is offensive to other people. It is important to remember that there are many different people in the UK and that they all have their own cultures and traditions. The UK is a diverse nation and it is important that we celebrate this diversity. National pride is a good thing, but it is important to be mindful of how it is expressed. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - In general, the group was in favour of a greater sense of national pride. However, it was also felt that there is a stigma attached to those who do show national pride, and that this is a barrier to people expressing pride in their nation. It was felt that this stigma is often attached to those who express national pride in a way that is seen to be aggressive or exclusive, and that this is often associated with far-right beliefs. It was felt that this stigma is unfair, and that national pride should not be seen as something that is exclusive to those with far-right beliefs. It was felt that national pride should be something that is inclusive, and that people should be proud of their nation and the people in it. It was felt that this should be something that is celebrated. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - In general, the group was in favour of more national pride, but with some reservations. National pride should be encouraged, but in a way that does not alienate or discriminate against anyone. National pride should be something that everyone can get behind, and that is not exclusive to any particular group. The group was also in favour of national pride being something that is encouraged by the government, and something that is taught in schools. However, the group was also in favour of the idea that national pride should not be something that is forced on people, but rather something that is encouraged and celebrated. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - National pride is something that should be celebrated, but not at the expense of others. We should not be encouraging a sense of nationalism that comes with the sense of superiority over others. The best way to encourage a greater sense of national pride is to celebrate the things that make us unique, the things that make us proud to be British. We should be proud of our history, and the things that we have achieved as a nation. We should be proud of the things that make us different from other countries, and we should celebrate those differences. We should not be afraid to show that we are proud to be British, but we should not be doing it in a way that makes us feel superior to other nations. 2: 1,2,4,3 1: 3,4,1,2 1: 3,4,2,1 1: 2,3,4,1
