    We’ll all be singing Land of Hope and Glory.


    Well we would, but no one knows the words. Or the tune.

    I know the words and surely the tune is to Pomp and Circumstance march no.1?

    I prefer the dream of Gerontius. You'd never know it was the same composer.

    Over the years, other cultures have been taken on and assimilated into a revised British Culture, and that is one of the strengths of our culture, and encourages diversity and inclusion, so why the fuss when someone like Adele respectfully celebrates the elements of South African Culture that were taken up by Jamaicans, and then brought here? Isn't that how it's supposed to work? If she can't wear her hair that way due to cultural appropriation, is it acceptable for those complaining to wear western clothes? Should Jamaicans avoid Bantu haircuts for the same reasons?

    The Government only cracks down on demonstrations and protests they don't like .
    100% peaceful protest Saturday against the Globalist tyranny, an even bigger one in Berlin no media outlets turn up .

    That's disappointing. A good turnout out would have meant a lot more £10,000 fines for Governemnt coffers.

    I don't think a single person watching those hilarious PG Tips adverts thought that the Chimps were depicting the BAME community, they had cockney accents for starters but there is no way PG would get away with adverts like that now.

    Even Bangers and Mash were banned from schools .

    We live in a strange permanently offended World now sadly

    If they don't make a clean break with the EU, that'd be the final straw for me. I'd up sticks and emigrate to Portugal. Plenty of Brits must already be there, as they loudly proclaimed they were leaving that very weekend when the referendum went against them.

    For me, the connection to PG tips, was the Chimpy tea party at the Zoo.

    I think you misunderstand, 'Diversity is our strength' but we must not discriminate...or something.
