RootsBooster   24 #13 Posted September 17, 2015 Why shouldn't God save our Queen or King ? Why do the French want to slit the throats of their sons and friends ?  It's a patriotic song used as our national anthem which is A christian country . "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ! " Our national anthem is a Christian country? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I1L2T3 Â Â 10 #15 Posted September 17, 2015 The anthem actually has six verses and it's a bit schizophrenic. Â In it we must unquestioningly accept her reign, shower her with the choicest gifts, vanquish her enemies, love the world like one big hippy family, and crush the Scots. Â I'm with Corbyn on this. It's ridiculous that anybody should be forced to sign this rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Timeh   10 #16 Posted September 17, 2015 Assuming there is a god, why exactly should he (or she) save the queen? What about that bit in the bible about rich people not getting into heaven?  Discuss....  He should save the doctors, the nurses and the carers of our elderly. He should save the teachers, the firemen and paramedics. He should save to worthy, not that parasite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's ridiculous that anybody should be forced to sign this rubbish.   It's not about liking the song, being a monarchist, or trying to elevate oneself to a higher intellectual plane by over-analysing it. It's about fundamental respect. Corbyn shows he has none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
