God save the Queen doesn't mention Scotland? It is amusing that teams representing England use it though when it does quite clearly state 'For Britains sake defend' in the fourth verse.

Oh i do agree with you to a degree. Can't stand the d!!cks that post shat like 'this is a union jack, they say we can't fly this flag, like if you agree' or bolloks like 'our british navy end up on the streets, these foreigners in a dinghy will be given free homes and three meals a day'. I facking hate that kind of bolloks.

If you're going to get rid of these songs then you should also look to ban songs glorifying gangs, murder, drugs etc.

It's a real slippery slope.

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.

I believe this was an addition added during the Jacobite rebellion. Not sure it was actually ever really part of the 'official' version though.

From what I can see the Finnish conductor of the Promms said she wasn't a fan of the song, the BBC considered removing it as part of a reshaping of the Promms, they finally decided to play the music with no lyrics.

But a load of gammons think everyone wants it banned, another case of one extreme side making up stuff to find offensive.
