Nothing wrong with being english (or any other nationality really.) What's rather more dubious is the idea we should all be running around like headless chickens because the terrible beaurocrats in brussels or the 'PC brigade' (hahahahaha) are attacking us. Last time I was in England, 'englishness' seemed rather safe to be honest, so long as it doesn't get hijacked by far right idiots I can't really see the danger to a rather fluid and undefinable national identity.
