Re: Do we need a new National Anthem???

Love B. C ..National anthem is a downbeat dirge that makes you want to give up go home whenever you hear it being played.

Only note of caution ' better the devil you know' because if we get a new one the powers that be would say it would have to be a happy clappy multi cultural P.C nonsense thing and we would be worse off than we are now.

Re: Do we need a new National Anthem???

What a ridiculous question !
Of course we need another National Anthem, the present one is appalling in every sense and everyone in this country would wholeheartedly agree.
The real question is .... why is it that successive governments have dodged the issue !

The Scots Irish and Welsh have their own anthems we need an English anthem for the English, my suggestion is Jerusalem.

Re: Do we need a new National Anthem???

NO.. Leave it alone. It is recognised in most places so why mess with it. It's English.
We have enough problems to sort out at present.

Re: Do we need a new National Anthem???

You could say the same about the words of the Scottish and Welsh Anthems ,same old boring historic anti English sentiment . Still if that is what they need to exist, why worry about ours.

Where in the Welsh national anthem does it mention the English?

Re: Do we need a new National Anthem???

There is no official national anthem of Scotland.However, a number of songs are used as unofficial Scottish anthems, most notably "Scotland the Brave", "Flower of Scotland", and "Scots Wha Hae".

So You're wrong again DOE.
