And the verse in God save the queen is?
Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!
National Anthem? Although lets not slurry the water with a separate discussion as this doesnt bother me that much.
But Flute music, flag parades, bigoted songs, Nazi Salutes.
Flute music on its own is not a major issue in my eyes, but put all the crap together and its obvious what the connotations are and why there is flute music in the first place.
I'm stunned people are attempting to defend this.
