At the Euros final, I watched Harry Kane & co mumble and stumble thru GSTQ, like they were embarrassed by it.
Then the Italians sang theirs with such gusto, up to that final climax - it was obvious who was going to win, just from that.
Also, it's the only good thing that happens when Ferrari win a GP.
“let them shing”
Denmark putting Wales on the green list with the rest of us on the red list is evidence of some political recognition, to be fair, although not on a global basis (and is fucking stupid, although that's up to the Danes of course).
And the ISO isn't a political organisation, so not sure how that counts as political recognition. Declarations of war, for example, aren't within it's remit. Wales can't declare war on anyone, the UK would need to do that.
You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about the 16th century status of Wales, to the point that you've ignored my point twice now. I was only talking about a flag, and the reasons for Welsh non-representation on said flag, rather than making a grand political point, so I'm done with this particular part of this thread.
National anthems - are they really relevant for anything other than sporting events? Could we, in fact, do without them altogether, and let organisations like Team GB (which should be team UK, shouldn't it?) pick their own music like they do with the uniforms?
The uniforms will be tied into sponsorship so maybe they could do the same with the anthem? Team GB sponsored by Ed Sheeran and Galway Girl.
Depends. If there are participants from Northern Ireland, then yes.
Jerusalem was a poem by William Blake - a who man claimed to see things that were not actually occurring.
Rumpty-tum, ti-tum, ti-tum
Rumpty-tum, ti-tum, tum.
Rumpty-tum, ti-tum, ti-tum
Rumpty-tummity, tum.
For a national anthem that accurately reflects the place of Great Britain in the world, it will probably have to be The Hokey Cokey. Somebody could make a promotional video, rather like the one for "Do They Know It's Christmas?" with royals and former Prime Ministers taking a couplet each. e.g. David Cameron could sing, "in, out, in, out, shake it all about."
