So apparently we are campaigning to have our own national anthem. Someone wrote in to the Sun yesterday and suggested the Bluebells' Young at Heart. Kill me now.

While im here I'll clear it up.

'God save the queen' is the british national anthem

The english national song is 'land of hope and glory' (fuck knows why they sings god save queen at the footy)

scottish national song is flower of scotland

no idea about n.ireland or wales.

Flower of Scotland is kind of an unofficial national song originally adopted by the rugby mob then the football mob years later. God Save The Queen unfortunately is ours by default. We should adopt the Pistols version.

Alba by Runrig.

Oi Polloi - Take back the Land

Tore the people from the land
Torched their houses with bloodied hands
Thousands starved or died at sea
A sickening toll of human misery
Broke the old clan system when land was there for all
And once the people had their backs against the wall
The connivance of the church cleared them off the land
"Remember it's God's will so don't try to make a stand"
They made a desert wher trees once stood
Squeezing from the land every penny that they could
Ethnic cleansing of the glens for farming sheep
'Cos that way there's more profit for the rich scum to reap (rape)

"Beautiful bleak moorland?"- I don't think so
This is a place where great forests used to grow
Laid waste by a rich man's greed
Reclaim the land and plant the seed
Yet still every year, seeking their roots
They come from overseas to kiss the boots
Of the clan chief and lick the hand
Of the very people who threw their families off the land
This is nothing more than a sick farce
paying homage to the ruling class
Who, without hesitation, do it all again
Those who forget history to repeat it are condemned

"Gee, Scotland-It's so quaint
All this scenery makes me feel quite
faint

Clan chief looks so good in his kilt
We never think of the blood his family spilt"

"I'm the clan chief o.k. yah
I support Scotland when they play rugger
But an independent country? there I'd draw the line
I own this land it's mine all mine

FUCK YOU, You arrogant prick
You inbred rich bastard, YOU MAKE ME FUCKING SICK
You own fuck all-except in your head
One day the land will be ours-and you'll be dead

I won't beg permission to walk the land they claim to "own"
And I won't pay no fucker to gain access to THE STONES
The rich have stolen and buy and sell our earth
But it belongs to NO ONE-or to all by right of birth

TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND

TAKE IT

Oi Polloi - GLF

Slavishly conform
To the system's norms
And if you know what's best
Don't stand out from the rest

Sheeplike mentality
Oppressing you and me
Braindead fools
Taunted you at school
But gingerheads are good in bed
And carrot tops know how to rock
Conformist system we must smash
Hear our rockin' readhead thrash

The abuse and ridicule of those
Of different physical appearance is symptomatic
Of a sick system bent on enforcing
Conformity and suppressing the individual

NO!

Ginger Liberation
For kids of all nations
Open your eyes wide
Strike a blow for redhead pride

GINGE LIB NOW!

[Larsen B]

I just wish we didn't have a anthem which boasted about winning a battle many centuries ago against the English only to be later colonised by them.

or, there's always Cap in Hand by The Proclaimers
