"We are Britain and we have one dream.
Strong Britain great nation"

Am I wrong, or is this really cringey?

Good lord, have I woken up and missed 10 months? Is it April 1 2022?

I can just imagine how this will go down in all the schools here in South Wales.

Is this for real or are you taking the piss?

Bit difficult to celebrate being British when the whole country of Scotland is already in school holidays.

Why are other countries allowed to be proud of their country and culture and sing patriotic songs and British people are ridiculed and condemned for doing the same

Oh please - it's a ridiculous song, totally crap and sounds like it was written in about 30 seconds flat. What's all this 'allowed'???!!!!

'Britain' excludes Northern Ireland, it's not a nation but an island. 'Unite all people' sounds completely imperialist - 'all' people? Schoolchildren in Scotland won't even be in school on 25 June. It sounds crap, really simplistic and recorded on a 1980s synth (not in a good way). How could this inspire any pride whatsoever?

How very apt and hilarious that they've picked a day when Scottish schools are on summer holiday. Says it all about "One Britain" and level of general knowledge at the DfE

No way, no small singing children near me anyway.

It's a no from me.

This. Heaven forbid it be an English anthem 😂

Excellent fodder for an actual British virtue - taking the piss. I'm hoping and waiting for the funny comments to roll in.

It's more than a bit cringy or American.. it's bloody sinister.

Because being proud of your country and culture doesn't necessitate bursting into song. Britain isn't 'one nation' anyway.

It's One Britain One Nation Day according to that Twitter link.

Which is what, exactly?

Fuck that shit.

I linked earlier in the thread - it might be interesting to look at it's backers (predominantly Asian and/or Muslim) and then read back some of the comments on this thread.

More than a tad Dear Leader innit!
I don't think its a go-er.

Just .... No.

On the video on Twitter the song has been edited and it removes all the stuff about inclusivity and multiculturalism.

It's still rubbish, but in a friendly way.

Ds's choir is rehearsing in groups of 15, standing 2m apart and wearing masks. He is 8 years old.

He won't be singing anything because he won't be going to rehearsals that suck all of the joy out of singing.

No. I will not be enforcing twee singing with strong echoes of a totalitarian state brainwashing its children.

It’s about time this country had some North Korea style collective singing. I’m delighted the Supreme Leader has proposed this, in his benevolence.

Lol. What?? What is One Britain One Nation? I thought we had four nations?

The song was written by Primary school children in Bradford
Why are you criticising a child's song?

RoseandRose I realise it's not a DfE event, but they are betraying their ignorance and/or lack of attention to detail by promoting something that makes no sense for one of the nations in Great Britain. And ignorance isn't a great look for the people in charge of my children's education.
