What’s not to love? A queer opera singer exuberantly waving the Pride flag in front of a cheering audience at Last Night of the Proms, broadcast to millions of people. It is the sort of thing that is guaranteed to send every pink-faced Home Counties golf-club reactionary into paroxysms of rage. But at the risk of inviting predictable groans, watching the symbol of queer liberation being dramatically brandished during a rendition of Rule, Britannia! left me somewhat queasy.
yes
Absolutely we should! God save the Queen!
Is the Commonwealth a voluntary organization?
No. It’s wank.
I try to avoid watching it because I hate it. 'Jerusalem' is a bit better because its about contribution to society today.
If it pisses off the woke amongst us then definitely yes.
The Guardian is a full blown fucking parody of itself.
Yes!! What is the problem with you people at the Guardian. Apologists for your country past and present it would seem.
Good to ponder-!
Why not? It's harmless nonsense, like all anthems, and the ketchup song.
OMG!! standupforgreatbritain
No. And I don’t.
Nope...
Yep 👍
The way it’s sung is tongue in cheek. I only hear it at the Proms.
Fortunately most of the old empire remember what it really meant, and none have returned.
I've got to admit... I loves it. Loves me some toe tapping Rule Britannia! I got a tidal playlist called rule britannia, and it's ten songs. All rule britannia.. Loves it.. Looooves it!
Of course!!
‘It is the sort of thing that is guaranteed to send every pink-faced Home Counties golf-club reactionary into paroxysms of rage’ It’s not stereotyping when we do it x
🎼 🎵 Rule Britannia, Britannia waves the rules... Britons never never ever shall be fools... 🎶🕭🔊
Hiding money in Tax Havens!: Should we still be doing it?
No. Leave it in the past where it belongs.
Only as a joke, as the waves are currently ruled by plastic apparently
Yes! The world loves it and its a fab spectacle 👌❤👌😊👍 What's not to love?
Absolutely.
Well I suppose it's easily changed to 'Ruined Britannia'
Maybe someone could explain why English national teams play God save the queen?
I will (silently) contest that indeed singing this anthem is actually a good thing if it indeed can be established that the subjugated would be obliged under the law to support causes their misogynist consciences would otherwise do not allow them to participate in!
Ofc you should its part of your identity as a Nation Dont be ashamed of it
You NEED to do it, or you will lose your country. Same for U.S.
Presumably you would raise similar objections to the singing of “Deutschland Deutschland Uber Alles”, and the “Marseillaise”.
Should the Labour Party still be singing The Red Flag?
Yes of course we should
How about an apology to david cameron, saying he had privileged pain about the death of his son! I'm no fan of cameron but what was written is sick!
No.
When we choose to; -divide ourselves into nations - from all we need to share -preach belief in competing religions - that nobody can prove -think money has more value & worth than life - when most can't explain how it works ... ... what are our goals?
no. SavedYouAClick
What's with the gay flag?
Yes we should. It's not like we're belittling a father's grief is it. scum.
'Jerusalem, also raucously sang that evening, would make a fine English national anthem'. Despite its clearly martial imagery, explicit Christianity and rural Ludditism?
