Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Perhaps, he was confused by this

Regarding his undone button, perhaps he was trying to be as casual as the unshaven Harry

I could go on, Corbyn's jacket was not matching his trousers. His Jacket was unbuttoned too. Corbyn's son bought his jacket and his wife bought his trousers. His Mexican wife sells coffee exploiting Brazilian farmers. Hypocrite Corbyn was raised in a 7 bedroom Manor house etc etc

Let's give it a rest. BTW I am ironic and by no means sarcastic.:D

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Why is he an "A**hole"? If he does not believe in God and/or the Monarchy, why should he sing? He would be a hypocrite if he did and then you would ridicule him. The guy has no chance with the right wing, not that he probably cares ..

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

If Corbyn's that easily confused I hate to think what he'd be like given any real power over the nation.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Just because someone does not sing the National anthem does not make them unpatriotic in my opinion.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

I wonder why he didn't sing it?

den, national anthems (of what ever country) are usually patriotic songs celebrating the country and it's history, which is why not singing the British National Anthem at a historic occasion may be seen as not being patriotic.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

l have watched many events including big sporting events and quite a few of them don't sing the National Anthem and yes nobody accuses them of being unpatriotic Hugh but then we are talking about the Daily Telegraph here who clearly have a agenda against anybody who does not share their political views as we have seen on countless occasions in the past.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but it looks to me as if you're equating a sports event with the 75th anniversary of the last serious attempt to invade and subjugate the United Kingdom.

I must surely be misunderstanding you. You couldn't possibly be that crass.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Todays 75th anniversary event is extremely important but just because someone does not sing the National Anthem does not make them unpatriotic as people can show their respect in many other ways which are just as respectful.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

It's the national anthem. He refused to sing it. I'm sure he'd be only too happy to sing "keep the red flag flying" .....speaks volumes about where his allegiance lies :dozey:

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Incorrect. We do not live in anarchy. We have etiquette and expected standards of behaviour for a reason. At a major, solemn, national commemoration of such importance as this, certain things are expected of all participants. *Not* singing the national anthem is itself a disrespectful act.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

I bet you don't sing the bit about "crushing rebellious Scots" Chris :D

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Nor does anyone else, old chum. It was never an official verse and has never featured in the proceedings of any formal occasion. The 'fourth verse' was popular around the taverns of southern England in 1745 because of the Jacobites. But it was written with three verses, and that's all it has ever had, from then until now.

But then I'm sure you already knew this was just another piece of baseless Nat grudge-mongering. ;)

:Peaceman:

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Heehee calm down wee laddie :). Anyway, the indigenous peoples down South were Welsh-speaking and the true anthem of the British people should be Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. It's a better anthem too.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

(I am not having a go at you but I could not resist)

The reds do seem to have a problem singing the anthem, take Rooney for example link or Gary Neville link

But on a serious note, French PMs, ministers etc do not sing the anthem either. Some of you raised some good points, but have a look at this

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
 

Somebody in the Guardian nay-saying the singing of the National Anthem.

Shock Horror!!

I am sure the reason he didn't sing it is because he is an avowed Republican, and would feel a hypocrite if he sang something praising the Monarchy.

As the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, he could have at least done his collar up.... ;)
