Thread Name: English National Anthem
Subject: RE: English National Anthem
All music is, in some way or other, political. However, talk of an English national anthem is explosive stuff. I agree that we should have an anthem that is not used also as a generic anthem for the union. The reason I give for this is that the English, and here I mean the REAL English (you know, the English that anti-English Scots have in mind when they say 'the English'), are experiencing a pretty serious identity crisis. In Britain, the English in particular are currently in the grip of a potentially fatal strain of utopian social engineering at the hands of an authoritarian regime which seems hell bent on destroying the English nation through unprecidented legal and illegal immigration, the 'outsourcing' of jobs and even our laws to the foreigner (please feel free to call me 'xenophobic', I'll let you), repeated attempts to dice England up into little Euro-regions (divide et imperium), the suppression of expressions of English nationalism (Except when supporting the England football team, English people have been banned from flying the English flag - in England. They've also been arrested for playing 'Rule Britannia' - apparently, for some non-English New Labour storm-troopers, this tune is now 'hate music'.), and so on ad nauseam. Bar attempts by the Anglophobic mafia (which is currently busy coercing the real English into abeyance) to choose some wishy-washy multicult trash as the English national anthem, an English national anthem would be extremely helpful to the English people as a reminder to them that the English are indeed a people. My personal suggestion is: 'Do the Conga' by Black Lace! Well, we do like to queue - even when we dance! LOL!!!
