God Save The Queen
« on: 27 July 2012, 23:02:55 »
Does England not have it's own national anthem, and God Save The Queen is actually the British national anthem ?  :-\

Somewhere in the lyric theres an anti scottish notion??

What can you say about the Welsh. It rains constantly which enough to put anyone in a mood.

That verse usually gets left out. ;)
Imo its hypocritical and extremely churlish to refuse to sing the British national anthem and yet compete for Britain in the British Olympics.It should be mandatory,and if they refuse,fack them off out of it and replace them with people with a bit of patriotism.

Have I missed something? I seem to remember then singing an English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland anthem and the National Anthem when the Queen descended.... :D :D

Pretty sure the OP was referring to the antics when the GB football team played a couple of days ago. ;)
Also not sure exactly where Norn Irn stands at these games tbh.I read something about an athlete from Norn Irn competeing in the all Ireland squad,and its not called team UK but team GB - confusing. :-\

Edit. According to the BBC and Wiki websites,competitors from Norn Irn will take part as part of the GB team,which begs the question,why isnt it named team U.K and Im still mystified as to why the torch went to Dublin.Dont recall the U.S sending the torch to Mexico. ::)

Much as it pains me to make any comment on anything to do with these proceedings but I’m obliged to say that if these people were playing for the national team, then they should have paid due respect to the anthem of this country.

What a pitiful show of small mindedness.

Insofar as an Anthem for England is concerned, in my view there can only be one.
