Jerusalem maybe about england but its love by all british people im scottish but im dam proud to be british

[Dendiol]

This gives me goosebumps! So proud to be English

[josephonwhidbey]

@sthill1993 Quite true. And you might add that all the British Colonies that gained their independence in the 1960s and 70s were far better off under British rule. I would also include India and Pakistan in 1948. And this from a Yank.

@MrKennethfelch Your Right I am a proud white person but Black and Asian men have spilt blood for Britain and have died under the Union Jack I don't care if your Black we are British brothers and we will continue to defend our Commonwealth and defend our sadly small last bits of the Empire

[inTHEwrongGENERATION]

@StevenBrech you talk of this Murderous Empire yes we did terrible things but look what came out of it America Canada Australia New Zealand India and much of Africa we gave the world Language Education law and order and most of all a chance if we were this terrible empire why would we have a British Commonwealth all former Empire who have spilt to blood so that there mother nation would not be have to stand alone against the might of the Enemy and we were the first to abolish the Slave trade

[takalua911]

Forever England!

[SuperAirgunman]

Bring me my bow of burning gold bring my arrows of desire bring me my spear o clouds bring me my chariot of fire and I shall build Jerusalem in our green and pleasant land!!!

[sthill1993]

@StevenBrech Name a government today or a past Empire that wasn't/isn't! Compared to the USA which is covertly corrupt beyond measure, Spain which is famous for eradicating several tribes, the Mongols who were cruel, the Romans who were also cruel, the Third Reich which nearly destroyed a religion in Europe, the British Empire was peaceful. When Britain was the world's dominant power, there were no world wars and very few continental wars. Oh and Britain was one of the first to abolish slavery.

It's about social change. The social elders may not like it, and this is why it's never been the national anthem. Since when did poets not question? The question marks are there for a reason. To question. Those fucking dark satanic mills are still there. Respect Blake.

[MrKennethfelch]

why can't this be our national anthem? i am proud to be british. my skin is brown but my blood is of the british empire: part bengali, part nigerian, part english but the union jack evokes a sense of unity in my eyes, not the discrimination and chauvinism of such groups as the BNP and EDL

[IceaSmith]

Proud to be English.

@Francetothenorth That's ok, family members sometimes have a falling out but were'r together now.
