Thread Name: English National Anthem
Subject: RE: English National Anthem
Nothing the British/English ever did overseas (or at home for that matter) can be considered good. Ever.
Saving New Zealand from the Dutch? Standing up against Hitler in 1939? Abolishing slavery and policing the Atlantic against it? They don't sound like particularly bad things to me. Oh - sorry, that was not the English was it. I guess it must have been the good bits of UK. Wonder who they are...
