to be embarrassed about our national anthem?

[TrinityMotherOfRhinos]

its a hideous depressing sounding dirge

not meaning to offend anyone but genuinely interested in how others feel

YABU.

YANBU, it's dire.

I vote for Land of Hope and Glory

I am not embarrassed by mine. It is fab.

Mae heeeeeen gwlad fy nhaaaaadau yn aaaaaanwyl i-i mi.....

I agree with flowery

When you say "our" national anthem I assume you mean the English one? If so, I agree with you. The Welsh one is much better

Gwwwwwwlllllllllaaaaaaaaaadd, Gwwwwwlllllaaaaaad!

Always brings a tear to my eye!

Whose National Anthem?

yabu and unpatriotic - although land of hope and glory'd be fab

YANBU

Other countries have uplifting patriotic songs about how great their country and the people are, we get this dirge about looking after the Queen.

AND - why do Wales and Scotland get their own songs but England doesn't?

Another anti - I loathe it - but my vote is for Jerusalem (at least it mentions England).

I dont think I'm being unpatriotic at all
I think I'm just wishing we had an uplifting anthem instead of a sad depressing one

YANBU
it's fucking ridiculous and it's awful that the British National anthem is also classed as the English one. It means nothing to me.

you mean your national anthem don't you? and yes. it's shite.

But the bit about frustrating their knavish tricks is rather good.

Not unpatriotic, no. Objectively it's clearly a dirge, no doubt about it.

And crushing the 'rebellious Scots'

Yes i agree england were rubbish .our team were much better :D

"When you say "our" national anthem I assume you mean the English one? If so, I agree with you. The Welsh one is much better"

It's the British National Anthem, and covers all parts of the United Kingdom.

There is no English anthem.

The Welsh national anthem, although lovely, just reminds me of John Redwood.

I am not English but reckon you def should have your own anthem. You've got so many great ones to choose from. I like Land of Hope and Glory, especially if you were all to bob up and down when singing it like at the last night of the proms

Flower of Scotland?? I love it! What's to be embarrassed about?

If you are talking about the English National Anthem YANBU. It is dire! Gwlad, Gwlad, Pleidion Rwyf I'm Glwad - Much more atmosphere and Nationality Spirit and Pride! :)

I prefer Land of Hope and Glory, though Jerusalem is easier to sing

YANBU if you are talking about the English one. And i know that technically it's the British anthem but no one but England would be seen dead singing it. Sorry but it's true.
