The Daily Mail lot will be so conflicted. He’s going to turn up in blackface, and a Rasta wig, isn’t he? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 3586 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 You know I don't think this new God Save the King thing is going to catch on. Just seems daft I know for a fact that even though I have sung the national anthem in the past, I am never singing God save the King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerusalem is melodically much superior but is pure religious gibberish lyrically isn’t it? Jesus visiting England? Mormon levels of bollocks. Make it England's anthem maybe, I don't care, I've given up on this country for the time being. I will never sing God Save the King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Sporting events I think are the only reason. Seemed to be 'the done thing' to sing it at Silverstone, the time I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13959 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I've sung it at medal ceremonies at the athletics and things like that. In that context I see it less as being about what the words are saying and more just a general thing for a Brit having won something. It helps that the anthem is so pathetically short and lame that it's over before you've had time to really think about it. I'd definitely have no problem with us doing a Spain and changing to a wordless anthem, mind. Probably be a lot less problematic all round.

NJS 3960 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The anthem is offensive to me on several levels and I make a point of never standing for it let alone singing it. Caliing on a deity I don't believe in (but just one to the exclusion of the others citizens might follow) to protect a person born to that role by notional descent (they ran out of direct descendents of William I and had to bring in a German branch to keep the thing going) is a non-starter. No celebration of the people or country or sense of commonality as others have. "Born to reign over us" / "long to reign over us" _ a change made to the latter as that's somehow better when it's the "reign over us" that's the problem - this also backs the point I made earlier that they don't "serve us" - they rule us. If I was Scottish I'd also love "rebellious Scots to quell" - there's a rallying call for independence right there in the national fucking anthem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that, additionally, it’s an absolute dirge of a tune. If Charlie is serious about celebrating our diversity, he’ll dump this abomination and commission an instrumental by Dappy and whatever is left of UB40. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16490 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I must say I am laughing my tits off this morning. My Brother In Law who I love to bits gets a bit confused at times. He was saying it wasn't mad that sport was cancelled etc and its the right thing to do. This morning on the family WhatsApp group he's kicking off as he can't buy his Christmas tickets for a local event as they've postponed the sale out of respect. These people are all the same. Until it has an impact on them eh? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30239 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Someone my lass works with was meant to be going travelling round Italy for a couple of weeks. She’s cancelled and gone to stay with her cousin in Hertfordshire so she can see the Queen lying in state and see the funeral procession.
