The UK Government is encouraging school children across the country to sing a songentitled ‘Strongbritain, G reat Nation’ this week.

enforced patriotism and has no place in a school system that is meant to promote critical thinking. If the Tories want kids to feel nationalistic pride perhaps they could start with the basics, such as tackling child poverty.”

@iainmartin tweeted: “Strong Britain Great Nation. Cognitive ‘ elite’ Twitter goes into meltdown over song – it's Boris turning us into North Korea! Oh wait, no, hold on. It wasn't the government. It was written by schoolchildren to ease racial tensions, for an organisation backed by

Joanna Lumley.”

Elton John's final Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will take place across the UK, Europe and North America.

@joelygabs tweeted: “I guess Elton is going the ‘ farewell’ Cher tour route – where he just farewells twenty times... I thought I saw his ‘farewell’ tour two years ago.”

@Therealotisfuzz replied: “He and Cher are going on a Casket Tour one day!”

@thebookn3rd asked: “Isn't this his third farewell tour?”

@iamantearo wrote: “For those asking if this is his 3rd or 4th farewell. It’s just one long-ass concert tour. The tour has seven legs and he’s already done a few of them. This is it for Rocket Man.”
