I really wouldnt bother - its all a bit weird. And why 25th June? That seems a bit random as well.

Probably the day after the copy of mein kampfs due back in the library

Cos it's dull. 

 

And it's not about the country - it's the Queens walk-on music.

Would it not be possible to have something in another official language of the UK rather than English, one I don't understand? How about British Sign Language? No, no don't worry about subtitles.

The English flag by law flies higher than the  Welsh  flag.

Does this English anthem with its English values have to be sung in Wales?

It's a song as part of a campaign that started in 2005 and has been endorsed by various MPs of all flavours in the past. The lyrics:

 

.. are probably only offensive to people who hate this country and/or find more pleasure in division than inclusivity. The lyrics are twee yes, but it's a song for kids, not a Dylan opus.

You know, for years now I have genuinely wanted to hear a rational explanation of what this actually means. People who 'hate Britain'. Maybe you're my guy?
