Anthony Barnett (London, OK): Thanks to Ben Brogan I learnt that Lord 'Citizen' Goldsmith who is preparing a definition of Britishness for the Prime Minister while pocketing around £1million a year for his legal services told Sky TV that the National Anthem  needed a bit of re-branding: "There's some problem with part of it absolutely," the peer said. "Part of it is not actually that inclusive, but that's if you go onto the later verses". It's the "absolutely" that gets me. There is more than a whiff of fin de regime in the air at the moment but somehow I don't think it is Elizabeth's.
