Jesus, can't these people at least write *good* songs about England?

That's what I hate about Nationalist tripe like this. Is that it's so stoopid and embarrassing. I wonder if the writer has ever even come within so much of a whiff of Shakespeare? Not bloody likely judging by the err 'standard' of this football chant.

This isn't a proud celebration of English culture and history (of which there is plenty to rightly celebrate), it's a botched whinging little attack at other countries in Europe.

Whoever wrote it also obviously doesn't actually give a dick for (or indeed know dick about) traditional English culture either, or they wouldn't have randomly and erroneously picked on Shaw or the Union Flag, as representative of it!
