It is not ours and, quite regardless of anything the anthem's lyrics might say, and what he believes about them, he should have sung it, just as surely as he took the oath of allegiance upon being re-elected last May..

Out of all the reasons Corbyn is unsuitable to be leader of the opposition this seems rather mild to me. I can't get too worked up about the act of not physically singing. I don't think it indicates disrespect or indifference.
Appointing a Shadow chancellor whose talked of 'honouring the IRA' and being unable to condemn ISIS without making some attempt to bring America into it as well, as if they were morally equivalent, are far more concerning acts.
