How about Ghost Town?
Wales hardly has its own parliament, it can barely do anything.
And like the English always are nice to the welsh and the scots, I get shit everyday for being welsh its not exactly nice.
Your views are typical of a UKIP supporter, "Hurrah we dont need the welsh and the scots sponging off us lets get rid of them as well as the EU!"
And whoever said the English anthem is rousing, how can tou say that its sooooooooo dull. I dont like the fact the english anthem is forced upon the other nations thanks.
SO TRUE.
and what about that maggie thatcher bird she used the scots to try out the poll tax, what was that all about?
bully boys
oh.
is it just me, or is 'god save the queen' the british anthem, and engand doesn't have it's own?
cause on the commonwealth games, if an english person wins, they play 'land of hope and glory'. but if you google 'english national anthem, it tells you there isn't one.
muchos confusion.
Really it ain't PC
"No, they are Scottish. Scotch is a drink!"
Scotch is the Scottish word for English "Scots"
You lot seam to be very defensive of this multi culturalism yet you cannot understand the very multi cultural society we live in...
I am not from England yet I consider God Save the Queen the British national anthem which it is.
"No, they're German actually."
Seams multi cultural enough for my liking. I dont give a fuck what they are but our national anthem should not be "progressivly" changed to suit the wankers here who do not have any respect for their country. Why are we so dismissive of our national identity for that is the cause of conflict?
They had Gods too last time I checked.
Its irrelevant.
write your own welsh 1 with sheep and fields if you want
"god save our gracious sheep...."
By the way, I don't see anything about scots in the second verse....
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.
Since when? and how do you have English "Scots", that just doesn't make sense.
Typical :mad: Fuck you :mad:
Well that verse is not sung no more but officially it *is* part of the ENGLISH national anthem
However, at some sporting events, the Enlgish sing the British antham. Just to confuse everyone.
As for independance.
At the moment, you are right the Welsh would fall apart without being apart of the UK. The scottish would be okish due to Oil comming in - but it may not last.
However, both areas bring in vital grants and funding for the UK from Europe - and so there is a large back scrattching exercise going on.
Also, in reality - the boarders are more symbolic rather than territorial. They provide a division for people to feel nationalistic about - but territorially they don't mean alot. For instance, in south wales a lot of people live, but work along the M4 corridor or London. A large number of these people are proud to live in Wales, but it does not in any way deterime there actions.
***toooooo much political national geography for one evening! ***

Did you not know that Scottish people have their own language or something?
Perhaps if I use another example such as Anglais means English in French? Does that help your explaination?
You'd still be wrong. Nobody uses the term "scotch", the correct phrase is "scots".
Why would Wales fall apart but Scotland not?
In that case it may make sense to quote that post
because some people, one being me, would resent singin it, as far as im concerned its english, and id sooner eat shit than sing it. the english would soon have enough to say if they were representin briton but had to sing the welsh anthem, or flower of scotland. So why should we have to sing thiers.
Looks as if you would rather use your own language, certainly cannot use English can you?
I would rather eat shit, than cross the Severn Bridge
Depends.
The correct term is "Scotch" OR "Scottish". If you don't like it it is tough shit, because that is the way it is.
The main street in carlisle is divided into English Street and Scotch Street. So there.
personally I think the Scotch should be forced to sing the second verse at all their games. For comedy reasons.
Long live our sheared sheep,
God save the Sheep:
Send them victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to cum over us:
God save the sheep.
Yeah i can see that boyo, your own anthem
as that what i smelt when i went for my interview....sheep shit!
