Not really my thing

 

But they know how to sing a national anthem.

 

Fair play

 

 

 

And both are great anthems, except Wales aren't singing their National Anthem

If you don't get goosebumps watching this you are quite simply not human.

 

Or deaf.

 

Or not English.

Great to see that. Tony Adams, proud as punch!

 

I know not many are travelling to Brazil in the Summer, the Euro's in France though will see the hoards turn out again! Come on England!

Why should someone who doesn't support the monarchy sing it? I know I'd never sing it. The queen and England aren't the same thing.

 

 

I sing the Anthem, but (expect that) I'd never bow to The Queen

Fair enough, I just find it a bit daft. I'm an atheist republican so why would I ask God to save the Queen? I'd happily sing Land of Hope and Glory or something like that but not GSTQ

wales, nz and aus

 

proper anthems

 

 

Go on then Cassie I'll leap on to the hook. NZ anthem - I agree. Aussie one is pants. The locals fuck about with it and I have attended many sporting events (including the 2003 RWC final) where a fair proportion have shouted "What's 'girt'?" after the 'Our land is girt by sea' line and many sing a different version which I won't write in it's entirety but the last two lines are:-

 

"They'll rob your house and steal your car,

The Aborigines"

 

Now then, other than the inserted 'no surrender' which I find strangely appealing,  I would be wound up if some fucker was bastardising GSTQ close to me. Seems a fair chance it would be some twat from Wigan.

That's a very reasonable point I guess.

I don't sing it and bow to nobody - but especially the head of a family of parasites and all they stand for.

Fucking hell why so angry?

 

Presumably, if you dislike the royal family that much then you've handed in your passport.
