Title: The National Anthem
Post by: Indestructable on August 25, 2008, 12:01:03 PM
While in Beijing there were occaisions were countries were singing their national anthem and at times this was spine tingling, and must admit that the yanks were good at this with a word perfect rendition. However, I was at the handover party in the Mall yesterday and it was quite clear that us Brits are either too shy to sing God save the Queen or just don't know the words. At England games you get a good start and then a lalala bit and it fades away.

In my view it's time to start up a campaign to have the anthem sung at primary schools across all of the UK in readiness for 2012 and beyond.

If it was a different national anthem, maybe people would have more pride in singing it?

No, it's a dirge. And worse, it's NOT a national anthem, it's just a song worshipping someone who by accident of birth and the warmongering, religious bigotry and downright thieving of her ancestors gets to 'rule' us. Oh yes, and it also is deeply offensive to Scots, describing them as seditious and calling for them to be crushed - I mean, what sort of a national anthem calls for the crushing of over one-fifth of its own population??? If that happened in somewhere like Zimbabwe we'd be demanding sanctions against that country's government!

God save the queen her fascist regime
It made you a moron a potential h bomb !

God save the queen she aint no human being
There is no future in englands dreaming

Dont be told what you want dont be told what you need
Theres no future no future no future for you

God save the queen we mean it man (God save window leen)
We love our queen God saves (God save... human beings)

God save the queen cos tourists are money
And our figurehead is not what she seems
Oh God save history God save your mad parade
Oh lord God have mercy all crimes are paid

When theres no future how can there be sin
Were the flowers in the dustbin
Were the poison in your human machine
Were the future your future

God save the queen we mean it man
There is no future in englands dreaming

No future for you no future for me
No future no future for you

Ok then

When I went to Primary School  we had to say the"Lords prayer"  out loud every day before classes began
Then at going home time we had to say the "Keep us safe "Prayer.

Bring back the little bottles of free orange

OK then, it does have some redeeming features - it's not 100% bad.

Perhaps i should have made it sing the British national anthem in English schools?

If only we had a national anthem I could take pride in and sing along to.
