Do we need it when you see the waining of the old colonialism type nationalism as we embrace a wider mixed culture?
No, I dislike them all. I have paid my money to watch a sporting contest not to hear a couple of songs ,with no real relevance to me ,belted out incorrectly by a fair number of people attending.
Just get on with the game.
Re: National Anthems Do We Need Them
Melodically I'd go for Ireland, Scotland and France's anthems as the most pleasing to the ear.
But imagine how much more satisfying they'd sound if the lyrics were to be shouted indistinctly rather than sung by someone as supercalifragilisticexpialidociously gifted as Stormzy?
Bar for the severely out of touch and crusty Victor Meldrew types, the rest of us would find his mellifluous tones so intoxicating it would be nigh on impossible to resist imitating Theresa May strutting her stuff which was so cruelly dismissed as 'spazz dancing' by those same musically uncultured plebs.
Here's a reminder of Mayhem's awesome moves.
