The tune was written by English composer John Stafford Smith, and the lyrics were added later by Francis Scott Key, an American  ;)

We Brits like to help out the yanks when we can.......just like missing a penalty on Tuesday during the girlie 'kickabout' :)

Had we won we could have taken back the colonies. ;)

Yep, 75 years since D-Day we should salute our cousins over the pond :y :y

Perhaps we should become the 51st state of America?

Now let's have a referendum on that!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;)

And Trump is mounting a mass display of military power, and already getting unfavourable comments! ::) ::)

Some are bringing up those great parades of the Soviet Union, and certainly I think the message that Trump is putting across is the same as with the CCCP.

"Don't mess with us or you will get your arses kicked"!

Well, I say, why not during these difficult times across the World! ;)

If you've got it flaunt it! ;D ;D ;)

Why would we be wanting to wish each other happy independence day ? We aren't Americans.  ???

Yes, WE ARE British and proud of it!!

But, look around us, how much American culture are we now surrounded with, as I, and you, use American software with an IT system that, to me, only reflects the USA - Christ, usually there is only English - USA version available on our gadgets, with spell checker even confusing me on the correct spelling of many words!!

That is the price we have paid for the United States bailing us out just as we were about to become part of the Third Reich.  So, what would you prefer if you could adjust that bit of history - in my field it is called "counter-factual history"? :)

No, today let the Americans and the free people of Europe celebrate Independence Day, as really that is what it is for each and every one of us: freedom away from the likes of the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. :) :)

No doubt at a rate of interest that  QuickQuid or Wonga would like. ::) ::) ::)

We have never been equal partners with the USA. They say jump ......we ask how high? :)

Bollôcks. They're colonial upstarts. The only thing we've got to thank them for is obesity.
