I was making a cup of tea at the time but I'm guessing it may have been Men of Harlech. Either that or Bob Marley's, 'Three Little Birds' which has become a Cardiff anthem.
there have been a couple of early day motions in parliament about it but it's never actually happened.
It's a poem about not resting until you help to build a utopian, spiritual society in an idealised England. It's one of the greatest, most inspiring poems ever written, by England's greatest poet.
You don't think it might be seen as just a little bit odd to have English fans going on about Jerusalem?
Considering Englands Anglo Saxon roots what about the German national anthem 'The song of the Germans', but instead of Deutschland Deutschland it could be Ingerlund Ingerlund uber alles.
but England is multi-cultural now so the anthem shouldn't just cater for the people that come over about 1500 years ago.
What a strange thread. Whether it be a 'British' anthem or no, WH fans surely sang GSTQ in the full knowledge that they'd wind up the Welsh fans, none of whom would ever 'own' such an appalling, Saxon, monarchist dirge. It appears that they did this with a degree of success, for which I applaud them. I think, however, that the last two pages have been a success only in the sense that it has seen Ed being stoutly defended by Trampie, which has to be worth something, no?
