Should teaching the National Anthem at school be compulsory?In many other countries a sense of loyalty and patriotism is encouraged and promoted from an early age. How else do we learn what we are working towards and gain the knowledge of who we are and what we stand for? Your place in society is not an automatic right but a privilege to be earned. Teaching the National Anthem in schools is the only thing left that will replace the daily assembly gathering for Christian Worship which , in our multi faith society, is no longer relevant.. Let's stop the decline of our society now and instill a sense of pride and loyalty in our children by singing the National Anthem daily and showing them how to be proud of our Royal family and our Countries great leaders and Statesmen instead of leaving them in limbo to latch onto the media and sports celebrities of our time. Come on Britain fly the flag. Let's be proud of our Country and its Heritage.ViewDate:

What is your main health concern as you get older?You're so right about continuity of care which used to involve proper follow up care from your GP. It is very difficult now to receive the personal care that is required due to larger numbers of people requiring treatment. The family Doctor of old is no longer available and GP surgeries are now so impersonal.
