Anyone else feel it's creepy to make children sing this?
We are Britain and we have one dream
To unite all people in one great team
Strong Britain, Great Nation
Strong Britain, Great Nation
Strong Britain, Great Nation
...
Does have a bit of a whiff of "One Britain, One People" to it.
Will there be any torchlit marches to go with it? That'd be pretty cool.
Too effing right it is.
Reminds me of...
Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles....
Boak.
I have a mate that lives in Glasgow who's Polish, was brought up on the border with Russia, and they used to go out at playtimes at school and sing about how great Russia is.
This. is. that.
If we're "one nation"... why does the OBON logo have two lions? Where's the Unicorn? If this is to be done in schools, isn't it the summer holidays for lots of kids north of the border? Where does NI fit into this?
Its also really stupid as: Scotland wales and NI have their own education departments and education is devolved - so this is England only
Britain, great britain and UK are not synonyms
But best of all - most scottish schools will be on holiday on that day
When do the daily reports of tractor production figures start?
I don't think they could get "One Britain, three nations, well perhaps four if you count Northern Ireland but definitely united except for those who consider themselves northerners and don't even get me started on the Cornish" to scan very well
Christ, talk about not being able to "read a room"
A mate of mine is a Hungarian dentist, he's old enough to have been forced to learn Russian in school. Suffice to say, he's not got fond memories...
This. is. that.
Yep
Beautiful. Will weed out the wokies and traitors. & c.
Good grief
If we’re “one nation”… why does the OBON logo have two lions?
That's was my first thought.
Well my second thought after I stopped laughing.
Has it actually come from the government? It's got a strong whiff of Britain first etc.
Do we also need them to throw a Full Rimmer at portraits of Johnson and The Queen whilst singing?
it is sodding bonkers
who on earth do they think it will appeal to?
Pretty insidious isn't it, just glad my kids aren't in school anymore otherwise they'd be in fear of me giving their school both barrels yet again...

The Blue Passport brigade.

I do hope they get asked to stand with arms out as they sing, so that they look like tiny crucifixes.
Praise the lard ,we are one nation under this scum.

Did you know that Facebook has recently put a satire warning on Scarfolk content, as it's becoming indistinguishable from reality?

Absolutely, and I don't have any kids!
Straight from the playbook of almost every dictatorship/evil regime you care to think of.
I think it's a good thing.
I mean, can you imagine British people jumping up and down clapping enthusiastically when we test a new missile?
Me neither. One Britain One Nation is exactly the kind of thing we need to get kids used to so that in ten years time we can have authentic outpourings of support every time the government tells us we have won an important victory against the EU.

This. Very much this.
It was composed by school kids in Bradford as part of an initiative set up by an ex copper who immigrated here at the age of 6. The DofE sent a tweet endorsing the initiative and linking to the site. (It is this Friday so Scottish schools will not have broken up.)

Never heard of this lot before. Here is one of their aims:
To re-appropriate the flag of Great Britain so that it represents all people of good conscience, in order to promote and celebrate our common and collective identity.
One might say "good luck with that" though that would be a bit cynical. There are no references to the devolved nations there at all, so it is not easy to work out whether they mean "Great Britain" (ie excluding NI) or not. The "One Nation" bit doesn't sit too well with the Good Friday Agreement, so if one gives them the benefit of the doubt as to their thoughtfulness, it is deliberate. Skimming through it, the focus appears to be on bringing different ethnicities and cultures together and is rather England-oriented. The material looks quite carefully drafted to stick to the single, bland message.

Depends on the LA. Some break up on Wednesday, quite a few more on Thursday.

And there was no prompting from anyone and it definitely has nothing to do with this government's creepy nationalist agenda. 😂
Mefty - education being devolved this will NOT happen in Scotland. Not a chance
They probably should have gone with One England One Nation.
Or just not bothered.

You'll be one of those who applauds the findings of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report because it was chaired by Dr Sewell. 😉
In my head I'm getting
One Nation under God
has turned into
One Nation under the influence
of one drug
Television! The drug of the Nation.

You know something's bad when even Mefty can only make a half-hearted defence.
Choirs aren't allowed in schools because of Covid
it's the p1ss taking that is bringing us all together
Sounds like a good day to take your child out of school.
I'm appalled but not overly surprised.
I'll discuss it with my kids and let them decide if they want to do it or not.
My kid's got a hat to wear
