Introduction From the first results of the 2011 Census, a flurry of What do you feel is your national identity? headlines declared that a majority of Scotland’s residents This was the question on national identity asked in 2011 had recorded their national identity as only Scottish. for the first time in the census in Scotland, as in other This Briefing examines what the public debates over parts of the UK. The instruction in Scotland was to ‘Tick independence have also made clear: that choices about ALL that apply’, with options of Scottish, English, Welsh, national identity are complicated ones, shaped by the Northern Irish, British, and Other. There was space to context in which they are made, by the different individual write in ‘Other’ national identities. The national identity and collective histories of those who make them and, no question preceded the ethnic group question. doubt, by different understandings about what is at issue in the idea of national identity itself. In the 2011 Censuses of the UK, the instructions were the same in each country except for a different ordering Because the Census asks its questions of everyone, it of categories, and ‘Irish’ was offered as a category in allows us to examine how Scottishness and other national Northern Ireland. The question allows more than one identities have been affected by the changing ethnic response but the use of the singular ‘identity’ in the title, diversity of Scotland.1 It also allows us to examine how and the fact that almost every other census question national identity relates to other characteristics such as allows only one response, may have encouraged people place of birth and religious affiliation, as well as to draw to tick one answer and move on to the next question. comparisons with the corresponding data from other parts Unlike the rest of the UK, the word ‘all’ was capitalised of the UK in order to explore what may be distinctive and emboldened in the Scottish census, and this may be about national identification in the Scottish context. partly responsible for the higher proportion of multiple identities chosen in Scotland than other parts of the UK. While the 2011 Census reveals that 62% of the population felt only Scottish, and a further 20% felt Scottish alongside See also the Briefings How has ethnic diversity changed other national identities, these figures represent a mix of in Scotland?, and Who Feels British?. different forms of allegiances to Scotland. National identity is more nuanced than may be evident in the exclusionary view of either Scottishness or Britishness that is often 39% choose only a non-UK national identity, presumably canvassed in political debates. Irish, compared to 60% in England. The difference is accounted for by those who choose other UK national National identity and ethnicity in Scotland identities – presumably Northern Irish – rather than British. In all, 3.2m or 61% of all Scotland’s residents claim White This picture varies from Edinburgh where only 11% of the Scottish ethnicity as well as Scottish as their only national ethnic Irish feel a Scottish national identity, to Glasgow identity. 22% more either feel only Scottish although they where over 40% feel Scottish. are not of White Scottish ethnicity, or feel Scottish as well For other ethnic groups, many chose a non-UK national as British or another national identity. Thus in total, 83% identity only, rising to 80% of the Polish ethnic group which included Scottish in their national identity. has had the highest migration rates into Scotland recently. As one might expect, those who declare their ethnicity to Those groups with longer-established populations in Scotland be White Scottish are more likely than others to also claim are more likely to choose Scottish as a national identity: for a national identity of Scottish.

In England, by contrast, 15% of Pakistanis chose only English as their national identity.

Gypsy/Travellers Pakistanis, 38% of Bangladeshis, and 22% of both were the second most likely ethnic group, after White Chinese and Indians. These are lower percentages than in Scottish, to select Scottish as their national identity, 76% England (63%, 72%, 38% and 57% respectively). doing so and 66% choosing only Scottish.

  • Empire and English Nationalismn
    Nations and Nationalism 12 (1), 2006, 1–13. r ASEN 2006 Empire and English nationalismn KRISHAN KUMAR Department of Sociology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA Empire and nation: foes or friends? It is more than pious tribute to the great scholar whom we commemorate today that makes me begin with Ernest Gellner. For Gellner’s influential thinking on nationalism, and specifically of its modernity, is central to the question I wish to consider, the relation between nation and empire, and between imperial and national identity. For Gellner, as for many other commentators, nation and empire were and are antithetical. The great empires of the past belonged to the species of the ‘agro-literate’ society, whose central fact is that ‘almost everything in it militates against the definition of political units in terms of cultural bound- aries’ (Gellner 1983: 11; see also Gellner 1998: 14–24). Power and culture go their separate ways. The political form of empire encloses a vastly differ- entiated and internally hierarchical society in which the cosmopolitan culture of the rulers differs sharply from the myriad local cultures of the subordinate strata. Modern empires, such as the Soviet empire, continue this pattern of disjuncture between the dominant culture of the elites and the national or ethnic cultures of the constituent parts. Nationalism, argues Gellner, closes the gap. It insists that the only legitimate political unit is one in which rulers and ruled share the same culture. Its ideal is one state, one culture. Or, to put it another way, its ideal is the national or the ‘nation-state’, since it conceives of the nation essentially in terms of a shared culture linking all members.

It is currently 13 unclear whether rejection of the vaccine will pose challenges for achieving herd/community immunity 14 either through large-scale rejection or localised pockets. Here we predict uptake of the vaccine at 15 unprecedented spatial resolution across the UK using a large-scale survey of over 17,000 individuals. 16 Although the majority of the UK population would likely take the vaccine, there is substantial 17 heterogeneity in uptake intent across the UK. Large urban areas, including London and North West 18 England, females, Black or Black British ethnicities, and Polish-speakers are among the least accepting. 19 This study helps identify areas and socio-demographic groups where vaccination levels may not reach 20 those levels reQuired for herd immunity. Identifying clusters of non-vaccinators is extremely important 21 in the context of achieving herd immunity as vaccination “cold-spots” can amplify epidemic spread and 22 disproportionately increase vaccination levels required for herd protection.
