Some very familiar names...... No. The National Anthem is a dirge of epic proportions. I have a grudging admiration for Queenie and all she's been through, and maybe even Charlie a bit. But not any of the other hangers on, it's all such an outdated concept. I do wonder if Charlie will pass on being King, if indeed such a thing is possible.

I don't really understand hate; people are generally born into a situation which their environment then develops. I can't hate someone for being a Liverpool fan, however they behave, anymore than I can hate someone for having the good (or bad) fortune for being a member of the Royal Family, however they behave. Mind you, I could probably make an exception for 1p5wich fans, who really should know better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely you’re not suggesting that it wasn’t her intention all along to move to the US and to use her connection with the Royal Family to further her profile and career?

I was ambivalent right up to the point that the Queen paid solicitors to challenge the constitutional rights of American citizens as regards the statute of limitations on sex offences. Whatever people might think of the Americans they are supposedly our greatest ally and moreover a democracy that is fully entitled to its own laws. If the President or his wife challenged our laws in the High Court in order to get their son off a sex offence there would be a huge outcry. Shame on her 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a ****e anthem, boring as hell, and William is a ****, the Royal Family is defunkt and the UK is as good as over. I've never liked Liverpool FC and hate Chelsea. The city of Liverpool is great and the people are very nice. The less said about Chelsea fans the better. The FA Cup has been pretty much destroyed as a spectacle by the FA and the other arseholes ruining/running English football. Anyway, top of the morning to you and have a good Sunday.👍😀 Thanks.

TheGunnShow 7,371 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Considering how lousy God Shave The Queen is, booing it seems a bit mild, to be honest. Easily one of the worst European national anthems I can think of. (Norway's isn't very good, musically speaking, and some of the smaller states have some very middling affairs. Liechtenstein even took the music of ours but managed to give their version slightly better lyrics. Estonia took Finland's music and used their own lyrics. I think Moldova eventually got their own that wasn't Romania's anthem). Off the top of my head I'd probably say only Norway and Albania have worse ones. Hungary's is a bit crap as well, but that one is pretty much a hymn. Edited May 15, 2022 by TheGunnShow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s be honest, there are many for whom any UK national anthem would be unacceptable unless it went along the lines of: ”We’re so ashamed of our past We did some awful stuff. We should always come last And the Queen’s a load of guff. It’s full of racist bigots, The government’s too white and male, They waste our money on frigates And pollute by fracking shale. It’s a country of oppressors, And not where I want to be. They’re always the aggressors Tra-la diddle dee-dee” Edited May 15, 2022 by Naturalcynic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to change the verses as they only sing the third verse nowadays, the first one is geographically incorrect as it refers to former borders, and the second one is definitely shaky in terms of being sexist nowadays! Crushing rebellious Scots is a pretty decent reason, lyrically speaking, not to have Land of Hope and Glory even though it is a far better tune. Kudos for getting the rhyme with bigots and frigates though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
