Not really , but would have thought it would matter if the instant "new' population had no idea/comprehension/understanding about such things as the Magna Carta, Hereward the Wake , Bodecia , War of the Roses, all the stuff that was knocked into my generations head about what it was to be English , I'm sure Scottish and Welsh kids had similar stuff about their own national history taught to them, stuff which is absorbed/assimilated into the family psyche over more than one generation, now it seems all this stuff is 'verboten' and the "heros" are folks like Mandela and Ghandi .
Think the best example I can use are the Brits who emigrated to Australia/Canada/New Zealand in the 50s and 60s , the parents still had their British roots but the next generation are pure Oz/Canuk/Kiwi , this doesn't seem to be happening to the 'new' British.
hope that made sense
