With respect - Rubbish .... Corbyn has to prove to the UK people that he is fit to be the Prime Minister of the UK

His speeches and interviews are all there to be listened to if anyone wanted to analyse them for themselves... Because a couple of sentences have been taken out of context, deliberately misconstrued or misquoted why would he be held accountable for that?

Indeed, a national anthem should be rousing for the country... ALL of the people. Not glorification of one. If the same song was the NK national anthem with "Jong il" in place of "the queen" we would all find it hilarious.

For example, I actually think the Star Spangled Banner is an excellent national anthem. If it was actually still accurate for what America stands for, it would be even better. Hope, freedom, bravery... For normal people.

Unfortunately it doesn't really fit with the US as it exists today. Still a much better anthem, though.

As a Leader
its fair enough


That Concludes this thread

'I am a patriot – an immensely proud father of two sons. Both my boys served in the British army, and my eldest, Tom, made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country in Iraq. So I have a strong view on Jeremy Corbyn and patriotism.

Corbyn has found himself at the blunt end of a lot of criticism in the media for his supposed lack of patriotism for not singing along with gusto to the national anthem during a memorial service to mark the Battle of Britain at St Paul’s Cathedral earlier this week. Battle of Britain veterans were quoted as saying the Labour leader’s “lack of respect” was astonishing.

But I think those who criticise Corbyn should look more deeply at his record. Surely a true patriot is not just a person who follows the laid-out rituals, but one who defends the honour of his country at all levels with pride and vigour. A true patriot would not mislead or deceive his fellow countrymen or put them in harm’s way with no good reason. A patriot would wish to see his country held in high esteem on the world stage with other UN nations firmly in support. This is the man we know Jeremy Corbyn is, from all his words and deeds.'
