GUEST,An English Patriot A national anthem for England (174* d) RE: A national anthem for England 23 Mar 04

If you think about it, Melting Pot is not so far removed from Blake's Jerusalem, which incidentally, is not jingoistic. It is uplifting, tolerant, outward-looking, and non-exclusive. okay, okay, I know Parry set the poem to music in World War I to inspire England during their fight with Germany; but I think the song transends that. Also, Billy Bragg is quite interested in English Identity, as all Englishmen should be. When Scotland and Wales go, we will be on our own and then we will be forced to think about our place in the world and how we think of ourselves.
