Peter Rhodes on Jingle Bells, Batman Smells – and inspiration for a new national anthem

After last week’s item on the Palestine national anthem, many thanks for your suggestions on a new anthem for the UK to replace that dismal dirge, God Save the King. My personal favourite is “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from Les Miserables, although the second line, “Singing the song of angry men?” is clearly too binary for our enlightened times.
