    I would like to remind that any kind of hate speech or racism against any group is forbidden and won't be tolerated! Let's enjoy the song and respect those rules so that the video won't be deleted by UA-cam!

      A hymn yes but nearly always associated with UK patriotism. The lyrics are from a poem, I suggest you look up who wrote that poem and why, then you will see it is very much about both heaven and an Earthly country.

Our media that is allowed to release blatant lies and propaganda with no moderation? - England is better than a lot of places to live, but I've got nothing to be proud of.

      Yeldur i agree that our country has many things that must be worked on. I believe the NHS is failing due to our government purposely cutting their fundings so they can use it as a reason why privatising would be a better alternative (which will never happen) we have rich history, and currently we are a shadow of our former self, but i believe that we will better ourselves, we always have done in the past. After this pandemic, support for the NHS will be better than ever, and our politicians will help support the NHS (not because they are kind people but because they know the popularity will help them get re elected). I genuinely think that our country will drastically improve after this pandemic.

      @@cianbrennan3620 Unfortunately, we've already seen the opposite happen, in the direct center of the pandemic. Unsurprisingly, it was the Conversative Party leading the charge with pretty much every single one of them voting against protecting our NHS: www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/full-list-of-mps-who-voted-against-the-nhs-being-protected-from-foreign-control-in-brexit-trade-deals/21/07/ - Things will only change when the tories who seek to destroy our country are ejected from government. Until then we'll keep driving into a brick wall at every turn.
      The saddest part is that we've got another 5 years of them destroying our country.

      I'm an American guy and I'm from Ogden, Utah, I really love the history of the English people including the culture which is very interesting to me and as an American who has English heritage I will be proud of that, My great-grandparents immigrated to America in the Virginia colony from Lanchashire and Essex, England around the 17th century between the 1600s and most of my English great-grandfathers were from the era of American revolutionary soldiers who fought as continental army and patriot troops in the American revolution against the British, in the American Civil War when some of my great-grandfathers fought on the northern side of the Union and some on the southern side of the Confederacy, most of the troops in the American Civil War at that time were of English descent, until its peak in World War 1 where there were more American soldiers who were then sent to Europe to fight against the German, 80% of 100% were probably of English descent on average and played a major role in the French Argonne Forest in the battle against German troops and the fourth from my great-grandfather, one of whom came from an English lineage original from Texas, Arkansas, Utah and Montana.

I am also proud as an Englishman to have brothers in the Welsh, Scots and Irish. Regardless of whether they feel the same about the English. Over the years it's become increasingly "racist", "far right" to be proud to be English. They describe you as a drunk football hooligan. All the sentiment around not being able to wave an English or British flag. It's all ridiculous.

Then came September 1939 , and we were fitted for our gas masks which we carried in a cardboard box. But soon people started to knit covers and embroidered them. almost a fashion statement. We went through The rationing, oh for some chocolate!! We huddled in our homes when the bombers went over, and the houses shook when the bombs were dropped, my dad always seemed to know when it was one of ours (planes) or one of theirs. So very long ago . Love the patriotic English hymns and songs, it’s a wonderful country.

      @@the0nlycmac To be honest the Entente ("Allied") cause in WWI was in no way valiant or good as it was in WWII. It was simply another war about some diplomatic issue in the balkans, that swiftly escalated into a war between major powers. If anything, the war was an accident, but inevitable. The Agadir Crisis nearly sparked WWI, earlier in the 1910's. Some may argue that a Central Powers victory would be better for world history. Hitler would likely remain docile, the Soviets would never rise to power as the Germans would swiftly intervene in the east. Mao wouldn't either, because there wouldn't be any Soviets to back him up.
      The "Kaiserreich" scenario is unrealistic as well. So don't expect a WWII at all. Austria Hungary would likely become Hungarian dominated and would collapse in the later decades into similar countries we saw before WWII (no Yugoslavia, though). Ottomans would've collapsed no matter what. Germany, on the other hand, would end up forced to liberalize in the coming decades as Wilhelm II declines in health. In the 60's they will decolonize.

    Below are the words Elizabeth spoke when she visited her troops in the field as they prepared for battle, during the nine-day onslaught by the Spanish Armada.
    My loving people, we have been persuaded by some, that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects. And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honour and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realms: to which, rather than any dishonour should grow by me, I myself will take up arms; I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, by your forwardness, that you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you, on the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble and worthy subject; not doubting by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and by your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over the enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.
    Queen Elizabeth I - 1588
    Following the defeat of the Spanish Armada, Britain became the dominant world power and remained so for centuries.

      Jonathan Torres The Romans to their time were far more important and dominant than the British were to theirs. Their legacy is more important even today than the British. Yes, the British held a tenuous hold over a large territory for a brief time but they never had the military dominance the Romans did and certainly not the cultural dominance. Nor did they hold sway for a long period of time like Rome did.

    I've always had an admiration for England and its culture and history. This hymn gives me a wistful feeling that is so warm and familiar at the same time. It may sound strange, but when I think of England I often get a nostalgic and familiar feeling that I cannot explain because, to my great regret, I have never been there. All my affection and admiration from Vienna, Austria to your wonderful country.

      Thank you for those kind comments, really appreciated. This should really be our National Anthem. Vienna happens to be my most favourite city in Europe - was there in 2015 [train from Amsterdam via Zurich....don't fly] City of music & wonderful architecture. Ich Liebe Wien. Vielen Danke........Geoff [Oxford,England]

    I come from India, I've learnt the language of my colonisers delightfully, after Thomas the disciple of Jesus Christ, the British brought the hope of "Cross" to the land of India. I shall honour them and their many beautiful hymns of Christ.. which is dear to my heart from childhood.

      There is No tomorrow what happened in India had nothing to do with the 'Cross' or Jesus Christ at all! It was done to the British being greedy and wanted power. If Anish Tom wants to respect Jesus and what the British did to India as a country then let him, your opinion doesn't make his worthless!
