Originally posted by meridian View PostI didn’t say it was right, either. What I said was that your assertion that it wasn’t written by a Celt doesn’t make it wrong.
On balance though, given that that is the anthem played when the United Kingdom participates as a single entity (eg the Olympics), I’m more inclined to believe that in this instance it is correct.
Unless you have any actual evidence otherwise, rather than just an assertion?
The Olympics and other sporting events are under the Great Britain team name.Comment

Great Britain at the Olympics - Wikipedia
Athletes from the United Kingdom, all but three of its overseas territories, and the three Crown dependencies, compete in the Olympic Games as part of the team Great Britain or Team GB.
While the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and BOA both refer to the team as 'Great Britain' and the team uses the brand name Team GB, the BOA explains that it is a contraction of the full title, the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team.Comment
