Vic Smith Date: 31 Dec 17 - 08:32 AM on the linked Michael Marra ALTERNATIVE NATIONAL ANTHEM - "Hermless".

Consider some of the potential occasions it would be played and the prospect is hilarious (e.g. At the medal ceremony at the Commonwealth Games where the strains of "Hermless" is belted out as the Scottish entrant for the Heavyweight Boxing category picks up Gold - As unlikely as "Hermless" ever being considered as a contender for a national anthem)

There should be a common national anthem - Malcolm Douglas once suggested one in a bygone thread:

I dearly love my country, I love it day and night
My country it is wonderful, while all the rest are shite".

Adequately sums up the sentiments that "nationalism" espouses.

A song book entitled "Rise Again", very pleased to hear that permission for FOS to be included was not given.
