Oh yes sinkov, remember that President Tony Blair will always be lurking round the corner as well.

Interesting the usual alternatives being suggested for an alternative anthem. Two of three that I have seen were all going to be banned by the BBC at the Last Night of the Proms until Joe Public got involved. They banned Land of Hope and Glory in 1969 but there was such an outcry that they had to re-instate it the next year.
I still think that we should not have one, that way nobody can be offended by its content.Let's face it, as swiss said we are hardly Land of Hope and Glory and BT would be offended if it were Rule Britannia or Jerusalem ----------so where do we go from there?
