Discover the story of the song > A Song of Patriotic Prejudice – flanders and swann

The protagonist talks about how England doesn't have a national song like other countries do. He believes this is because in the past, England didn't care about nationalism and everyone knew they were great. However, now nationalism is on the rise and everyone has a national song except for the English. So, he and his partner create a song about how the English are the best and superior to other nationalities, making negative comments about the Irish, Welsh, Scots, and other countries. The song is meant to be patriotic, but comes across as prejudiced towards other cultures.
