    Im not allowed to be proud of my country why? The pc brigade gone mad im english im proud and im a christian.
    This is an affront to the human rights of every christian.These idiots should be sacked.Every christian should stand up now and say we will not be treated this way.Im sure if any other faith was told it could not sing a song showing their faith there would be uproar.

    I didn't realise there were so many church goers on this forum. Its nice to know there a lot of folk keeping the christian faith alive through worship, fellowship and song.

    The Church is playing Politics again, they should get on with preaching and leave the Politics to those who do. Why the Church should ever cow tow to those of lesser religions and expect to get away with it I will never know. It is a pity we cannot vote for those who run the Church and I do not mean Royalty. The hymn is synonemous with England
