And how anyone can think flower of Scotland is better than Jerusalem......God help them.

Last night at the proms versus random X factor contestant screeching at Hampden.

No contest

Pat Kane doesn't think Flower of Scotland is appropriate.
Writer and singer Pat Kane also backs the work of Robert Burns. He said: 'I hate "Flower of Scotland" -*it's martial, mournful, aggressive and anti-English. I would much prefer that the Scottish national anthem was Burns's 'A Man's A Man For 'a That'.13 Apr 2003

I hate Burns, his poetry, his songs, his history and the fact that we're all expected to laud his work.

Hated being told by primary school teachers that I had to talk 'properly' in the class all year then being told to put on this faux Scottish accent every year when Burns' night came around because it suited them. Then forced to stand in front of the class at high school and sing an absolutely awful song about some river that I'd never even heard of because they needed monkeys to perform at some singing contest in Caird Hall. Unfortunately I just couldn't make it on the day and got the belt from Fyffee for showing him up - by the way, Fyffee's belt was the only one at Kirkton that hurt.

Aaaaaaannnnnndddd.................. who on my green Earth is Pat Kane and what qualifies him or her to tell Scotland what should be adopted as its National Anthem?

Does Pat Kane realise that God Save The Queen is anti Scottish? 'Lord grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God Save the King' sounds very anti Scottish to me - but then we should probably just ignore that I suppose because Pat Kane doesn't acknowledge it.
