    Hinduism is poltheistic, Buddhism follow the teachings of Buddha who was human and suffered without desire, pagans are polytheistic, Taoists have a life force, but not a 'God'... So really... the national anthem is 'non-PC' and excludes these people as well as assuming that we should all bum the monarchy by asking God to save her... I mean save her from what? She has enough bloody security. :eek2:

    I'm not saying change it as personally I don't give a fuck what patriots wanna sing.
    as a result I'm calling any further Welsh insults racism - just think before you post and don't assume that just because you're talking about the Welsh you can say anything you want.

    I agree... if you insult somebody from Pakistan you're 'racist', but not if you insult the Welsh... Funny, isn't it?

    If anyother country had a national anthem singing the praises of their head of state we'd call them lunatics.

    Slightly off-topic but I just remembered something I heard a while ago. Am I right to say that the Union Jack does not belong to the country but to the Royal Family, and that theoretically anyone flying the Union Jack should seek permission first from Brenda?
