I'm just saying that it may not be a wise choice that's all. I'm sure the BNP will be using it for some sort of publicity.themuel1 said:I don't think the kids will know that the BNP had it as their anthem. It wasn't a song written with racist intent. What happens if the BNP have " God save the queen or Angels by Robbie Williams" as their anthem?
Also, just because the song is tarnished being used by the BNP doesn't mean it shouldn't be used. I mean, the BNP are English, they havent tarnished the rest of us have they? We still say were English.
I don't think it's overly wise for the fact that it's a clearly christian hymn. There is an element of exclusion there, wether intended or not.
