What do you think to this, I think it should be adopted nationally!!!


Schools in Bolton will be encouraged to fly the union flag and sing the national anthem in assemblies to foster patriotism in the young after the council voted overwhelmingly in favour of the idea.

The motion was proposed by Conservative councillor Mudasir Dean, who said he was inspired by his grandfather, who became a "true English gentleman" after settling in Bolton from India in the 1920s.

why ever do we have to ask.  I thought we lived in Great Britain.
It should be encouraged across the whole country.
