They play no part in my life and in return I do not trouble them!

Seems fair enough to me!!

But you believe you're "British" ??

Although I admire your sentiment, regrettably this country doesn't stand for anything anymore.

No they have been an embarrassment for a long time now and a perfect example of why you should never write a national anthem about a living person. Fewer and fewer people sing the national anthem yet put on Jerusalem and everyone jumps up, we're a patriotic nation and we want to sing with pride. The current NA makes that tough for a lot of people though.

well i'm a bit on the fence here as the current one would be fine of G.B.

but my flag is this one

and think a new anthem for us would be fine

us English that is

Can't argue with that, they are quite poor. The anthem, as it stands, is still an anachronism though and all your clever word play won't convince me otherwise.
