BBC are trying to get rid of our history and heritage , all they are doing is making people more patriotic , do they honestly think it will change anything - it’s from our distant past and people in general are proud of our country and are entitled to celebrate our history with GUSTO!!!
Apart from the first, and second line, very few people know the words or care what they mean. It's just a great tune and a catchy title ... ... let's be honest every country wants to be one of hope and glory.
but it was the British navy mate that stopped the slave trade, the Americans Dutch and French still traded when told to stop we impounded there ships and sold them after setting the slaves free on all the carribean islands. to counter this when the royal ensign was spotted the dutch would tie all the slaves to the anchor chain cut it and drown them. in retaliation the royal navy would hang all the crew from the yardarm sail it into Charleston port, to show the world what happens to slave traders.
It's insane mate. Just as thousands of non-Jews died in the camps, millions of non-blacks have been slaves. You can't take a word and make it yours alone and take offence if someone else uses it.
And that is why people are risking and losing their lives trying to cross the Channel on a daily basis having travelled hundreds or thousands of miles , if its so terrible why do they want to come don’t suppose it will be to go to the Albert Hall for the Proms .
bet the fekkers brush up on the English as they are paddling ower singing Rule Britannia.And Land of Hope and Glory,
the day the music died........ He started singing bye bye miss American pie,drove the hand in the underwear but it was bone dry,just wish these feminist would die
aye, it was written when the majority were slaves to all intents and purposes, tied houses, no vote etc.
**** the BBC. It's a shame theirs no audience this year at the last night as I'm sure they would have been singing at the top of their voices!
It’s a pity the BBC didn’t take the same stance in outing perverts. And far all Farage has his knockers he showed that worthless twat up on This Morning, so did the two presenters. The professionally offended arsewipe didn’t have a clue why he was offended.
Many of the slave ship crews were NE blokes who'd been kidnapped, leaving their families destitute, and made to work for little or no wages ... ... or do people think they were handed a share of the profits.
