And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.
That's the key - there will always be an England while what makes it special means something to the people. England struggles with that today, as many nations do. But it's not dead yet.
It's lads like the Air Cadet in this picture who will decide whether there always is an England. But there are 41,000 of them alone - all between 13 and 20. There's still a lot that is good and decent there.
