    It should be made a legal requirement to sing the National Anthem, anyone refusing to sing it, or miming, should be put on the next plane to Rawanda, their children, if they have any, taken into care and their property confiscated. That would sort the disloyal buggers out.

    I always thought Jerusalem had something going for it, perhaps it's due to watching Monty python, either that or Tubthumping by Chumbawumba, but then again that's Burnley's anthem.

    I stand corrected, not being party to it myself Sub....
    As you can gather I'm not a Royalist, and struggle to see the need for such a disfunctional family.
    It's not uncommon to have the odd skeleton in the closet, this lot have a veritable Ossuary...:-)

    It's just anachronistic nonsense Len belonging to the Days of Empire when we wanted young men to gather in their local market square and sign up for the Queen's shilling and then get marched off in their thousands to die in some far off corner of the British Empire.

    For fear of finding something worse.

    People who slag the Royal family off should be ashamed of themselves, but for them we would be in a terrible state,just like America.
    God save the King and all who serve under him. 💪

    Quite right Alfie, Rwanda is too good for them, I'll have to think of somewhere else, Blackpool perhaps.

    I never knew that France and Belgium used to be part of the British Empire. Every day's a school day.
