Thread Name: A national anthem for England
Subject: RE: A national anthem for England
Somebody back there mentioned 'the unlikely event' of the Celtic countries getting their independence. WEll, if that 'unlikely event' occurs, the English may be reminded that England was a Celtic country before the Germans and Scandinavians swiped it. The British might like it back. Some years ago we had a politician called Enoch Powell, who argued that immigrants should not be mistreated, they should merely be offered £1,000 and a ticket home. I wouldn't be so generous where the English immigrants are concerned. £20 and a ticket to Hamburg or Esbjerg would do!
