They have about £89bn in wealth, all stolen, whilst people have to use food banks. You see, although the monarch is mentioned in our national anthem, and I'm a bit indifferent to them myself, i couldn't care one way or the other. When the anthem is sung, I don't think about the royal aspect of it, I just see it as being the national anthem of the United Kingdom, the place of my birth, and so it dont really feel like I'm kneeling down to anyone. As I said in another post though, Liverpool fans would boo it if it was "land of hope and glory", they just want to be offended by anything British. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God save the King is basically kneeling down as it's literally saying he's better than you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 6 May 2023 Share Posted 6 May 2023 (edited) People getting uptight by Charles getting crowned are just wasting their time and moaning for nothing, let it go enjoy your weekends this has been happening for hundreds of years, and to be honest I don’t let it get to me.

He ain't no better than me, he is the king of the United Kingdom, the place of my birth. I've never seen the anthem as kneeling down to the monarch, it's just my nations anthem, and I'm proud of my nation, so the anthem should be respected in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are some people who are also proud of their nation and so would rather have an anthem that celebrates that nation rather than one that glorifies an absurd medieval relic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ,not all,that get in those famous governing cabinets. There are some good to great local politicians,who do serve their community. Some who bit into the high level cherry,then stepped back because of the hypocrocy of not seeing the honour bestowed or serving,but just taking…Some of those went back to their local rounds,and feel they can make some difference.. But just my take on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
