Singing the Anthem

[AtW]

Wasn't Blair also a republican?

I think he's on record as saying he's anti-monarchy but that isn't a fight he's interested in having, so while I'm sure the press will have a field day (again) I don't really anticipate any issues here. I'm not sure the Queen really has problems with republicans, only vice versa?

No, Bliar was just a big liar.

HTH

Not keen on corbyn, he'llend up bending towards the establishment no matter what he tries to say. But, i dont have an issue with him not singing GStQ. its a horrid anthem and I dont sing it. I wont 'worship' a monarch so he gets my backing on that.

[NotAllThere]

So if he was a Lib Dem it would be ok?

Yes,

As an atheist republican I'd just have sung along and replaced god and queen by rude words.

Apparently Harry Potter (*) is a republican as well!


(* Daniel Radcliffe that is)

It's well known that Daniel Radcliffe will always kneel in front of a long sword.

4 million people in the west of the UK, and a good few million in the north would also refuse to sing the english national anthem.

Never in a million years for me sorry...

Not a problem being British, but each countries got its own anthem and thats the English one. Get a new separate British one.

Its not the English national anthem (ask what the English anthem is rather than the British and most will say Land Of Hope And Glory or Rule Britannia), its the Anthem of the United Kingdom, you might not like that you are part of the UK and thus Westminster centric, but you have to lump it as recent nationalist experiments have proven failures.
