danial pointed out that the priest on the news last night was pointing out this hymn should be banned because of a line stating that we should put our country before god.and that why he wants it banned.at the end of the day this hymn has been sung for hundreds of years and to ban it would be unadvisable.every little thing in this country has to be politically correct and if it's not it is thrown out.to be a society together we have to be proud of our country and be patriotic.i think you need to love yourself and your fellow countrymen to create a better country and world.doesn't mean that god is not important in peoples life.

Wo wo wo, wait a minuite. You started this topic and I was just giving you some extra infomation. I do not agree with the Bishop myself as your post may suggest.

Daniel, I don't think thats what was meant, and I for one didn't read it that way.

daniel just stated that i made a mistake and have re written my thread.had to change it because it wouldn't have been the right statement and would have got into trouble.sorry should have explainedLOLxxx

What hymn is this? Maggie

Well just in case. I don't want to turn into Public enemy no. 2

hehehe

hi paul,thanks for that.just put a message to explain .thanksLOLxx

daniel your not my lovexxx

margeret can't remember what the hymn was but will find out laterxx

"I vow to thee, my country". It was the view of only one clergyman. Joy PS Dan, you could never be "Public enemy". Paul - please go back to being Chunks.

I think he is a silly old fool who has nothing better to do. A black guy on the news thought it was stoooopid. Why is everything deemed as racist all the time. If the priest wants to go further why not bann ALL religion, after all, Every religion will be bound to upset at least one person in this world who thinks it is the "wrong" religion. The worlds gone mad and if the priest doesnt like the peoples hymns that they have been singing for years, then he should quit & become a politicion ! Elaine x

yeah come on paul.i did apologise for upsetting you.can you change your name back or i'll be public enemy no. 1

seemed to be saying things before thinking.sorry guys.you know what some women can be likexx

I love that hymn I vow to Thee my country, reminds me of school, Britain, family. Why cannot people accept that we are not all alike and don't all like the same things etc. We are, I hope, a democratic country and have a choice. Sylvia

sylvia i think that we are swaying to becoming a non democratic countryxx

i agree ann.it's political correctness gone over the top!

I think we in England are on a slippery slope we must be a laughing stock in europe , all our heritage will soon be gone children in the future will have no knowledge of our lovely country and it's history religion or otherwise, i love my country but at the moment i don't like it . Chrissy.

What do we do about it Chrissy?
