I think the song should be more inclusive to non-believers and republicans tbh so if he doesn't want to sing it, then that's fine.

You're a British citizen. If you don't like it, don't sing it. This freedom you enjoy has been hard fought and hard won... don't forget that.

I agree with the bold though.. which is why Corbyn has the choice to not sing that if he desires.

& also I have huge respect for the soldiers who fought in World War 2, possibly one of the only justified wars that our army has been involved in.

Don't agree with that Josh, but we were never going to agree on that.

Which wars do you think were justified?

This man turned his back on British troops returning from active service. He made quite a point of it. So I'm hardly surprised he wouldn't sing the National Anthem. No one should be worried, he'll never be PM.

our anthem is a joke, but whats this story about turning his back on british troops ?

[empire]

labour are the most anti british party, that would rather sing the ussr anthem,

[billy123]

I am quite enjoying watching the panic amongst the right wingers. Some have really shown their true colours and left their arses hanging out and he hasnt even done anything yet.

[Josy]

If he doesn't want to sing it then that's his choice

I was thrown out of the orange hall once for not singing it and refusing to stand up whilst the rest of them sang

[arista]

Lock this thread


He will sing it
next time

[Moosething]

Nz's anthem is better

[the truth]

now this is what I call a patriotic tune

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

What a horrible hymn, menacing words those...
No Jesus was not here during the times of the dark satanic mills not for the poor, it was the reformists that changed things. Could ceasing to abuse workers and introducing fair rights and wages be seen as Christian... Yes, then why are the (recent)govt and the monarchy (historically) built on exploitation and the removal of civil liberties?

Bit Anglocentric though, best left for the cricket team

Best thing about our national anthem: football crowds. Because they sing part of the tune where there's no singing, cracks me up every single time.

Some may view it as propaganda, others view it as being informative. This man could be the next prime minister, if his views do affect our security in the world then it is important that people know about it. This isn't a one directional dialog, Corbyn can easily explain himself and clarify anything that he wants. Surely its in everyone's interests that there will be no surprises if he did become prime minister.
