There's also an English independence party. Your point being?

Angra-Mainyu Foetus In Fetu Okay, you know what, they really do need to update the national anthem and bring it in line with the younger generation. It'll help instill patriotism in them at a young age as well as the willingness, even desire, to die for their country, and all that good stuff. This is what I propose: Superman Save the Queen. Am I right? Am I right? Bah. Batman saves the Queen. Batman's a vigilante. I don't think he really considers saving the Queen amongst his duties. and_solo_said Hong Kong Fooey saves the Queen. Let's not be silly.

honsou3 Mr. Bono Vox at various funtions to do with the orange order. They were only singing it because it was a do. You will never find people singing it on their own free will. Personally I don't see why anyone of any nationality would sing God Save The Queen of their own free will. What's your point?

Mr. Bono Vox I am sick, sore and tired of the Welsh, Scots and English who talk only of Wales, England and Scotland. honsou3 They talk of their country because it is their country they are Welsh, Scottish before British those countries didn't join England out of choice but because the English bastards made them even as we type there are groups trying to gain independence of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. It doesn't matter how hard I try, rants like this will always convince the outside world and our closest neighbours that the Scottish are ignorant, jealous, angry and ungrateful jingoists.

Obviously Doctor Who saves the queen. 3nodding biggrin

honsou3 Mr. Bono Vox I am sick, sore and tired of the Welsh, Scots and English who talk only of Wales, England and Scotland. I am disgusted at the Scots and their devious behaviour towards the English, I am sick of the English and the despicable behaviour towards the Welsh. And I'm sick of Welsh people who come and live in England and do nothing but talk about Wales. What is wrong with you? Lose the damned grudge. Can you not see you are ripping our great nation apart? Can you not see the damage it is causing to the fabric of our society? We are one nation under one flag and one sovereign queen. Remember that. You are not Welsh first then British second; you are not Scottish first and non-British altogether, you are not English first and British second. You are British first and Scottish, Welsh, English or Northern Irish second. Our first loyalty should always be to the Queen and to the United Kingdom, not just to one part of it. We must stand together; this is not about being cosy friends and having a great union, No. It is about survival, survival of the United Kingdom and of the rights you and I both hold dear to our hearts. We have lost our way and are fighting amongst one another while the enemy sits and waits for our nation to crumble and fall around us. Our cause and purpose has long since disappeared and the people no longer trust their government, let alone each other. Since the Second World War there has been a total lack of loyalty and sense of direction. Everyone has gone their own way, not caring for one another, not standing up for one another. We are imploding and hurtling rapidly to the ground, will you be able to withstand the impact? We must remind ourselves of who we are, what we stand for and why we stand for it. We are British. We stand for secular values, for democracy and for freedom. we do so because we believe in the nation and the people and in the rights accorded to us. Unite! Unite before it is too late. Our free, civil and religious liberty we must maintain. Unite and stand or divide and fall. They talk of their country because it is their country they are Welsh, Scottish before British those countries didn't join England out of choice but because the English bastards made them even as we type there are groups trying to gain independence of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. *ahem* Farr as I know, Mr. Bono Voux, England forced everyone together out of greed, no one liked it, so now we're trying to re-assert ourselves. Is he being serious about everything falling apart just because we don't all lump together in one big British . . . lump?

I'm not aware of much forcing. There were a few Anglo-Scottish wars, but that's not what brought them into the Union (and bloody hell, we've been lucky to have them along) and there was a Norman strikeout into Wales, but that's before the Union too.

The folk that signed the thing were doing it out of greed. As far as I'm aware it wasn't the popular choice. In the words of the Scots dude himself. Quote: What force or guile could not subdue Thro' many warlike ages. Is wrought now by a coward few For hireling traitors' wages. The English steel we could distain Secure in valour's station: But English gold has been our bane -- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! I may well be wrong but I feel like we're getting on with the English as well as we ever have. Theres grumbling but then we need that. Anyway, how can you really feel part of something thats too big and is based so far away. Its much easier to be part of Britain if you're part of Scotland, you know Scotland is part of Britain so you're British. I can't speak for anywhere else (each case is different) but its much easier to be part of Scotland first, its you don't get to be Scottish that the English grudge turns into something more. The idea is good Bono, but some people find it easier to unite as a part of a smaller sub-group and then be part of the overall group. The smaller sub-group stops you being feeling ignored. Then as long as the main group mentions your subgroup it's ok.
