Are you suggesting this is a good thing? That their "its great to be american...you're either with us or against us" attitude is something to admire? I do hope i read that wrong.

I disagree with it but people respect there anthem before a game now, so i guess it works.

A lot of refugees are called "illegals" by people who dont really know their situation.

I didnt know that so i will let that stand.

I havent been able to vote for an important change yet.

Those issues dont even get aired for the most part.

you forgot UKIP as well but yes BNP are rasict but there current policies on border control and immigration is agreed with my most but the bnp party has a bad name and will never get into power.

All thats news but the fact that you got 2 basic choices for Govt (dotn"waste" a vote on the lib dems will ya, you gotta make your vote count so vote tactically and vote for those win th best chance of beating the ones you want out...dont vote for who you actually want in.) and instead of everyone saying "lets give the lib dems* a chance, come on everyone lets not let tory or labour in this time, lets all set up facebook pages about stuff that matters" all they do is moan that "its cos of the immigrants and the illegals"

No its cos of your govt and the fact you let them shower of sh!t decide things for you.

Want a real change, go for a party that isnt owned by big business. If you can find one of course.
* I used lib dems simply as an example of "another" party. I have no affiliation to them. if i had my way and he was still about i'd be out campaigning for The Monster Raving Loony Party myself.

Im guessing your voting for lib dems then
I agree the front page should be about something that matters but stuff that matters is boring to read about and doesn't sell as many papers so they wont put it front page, or anywhere it would seem. I cant be bothered with facebook so i dont know about all these facebook pages to make unimportant stuff change.

I'd say the BNP actually shot the country in the foot last election. Coming to publicity when they did made people vote "tactically" for labour, or so it seems.

If they were as nazi as the far left press make out they would have waited until the banking crisis to stage a rise to publicity

So God Save the Queen is my national anthem?!
Bah, no chance me singing that sh!te.

Brilliant aint it Sally-feel free to cast aside your velcro gloves and join in and show your true allegiance to our majesty Queen Elizabeth.
Love it,makes the hairs on the back of me neck stand up, even better when its sung at Ibrox

And why celebrate a bunch of Germans?

And this is why, if someone was to ask me, I would say my national anthem was Flower of Scotland.

I know all of the verses to it and will stand and sing it.

Velcro gloves? I don't get it

I couldn't think of anything worse than hearing that utter sh!te being sung at a Scottish football game.
I could think of something worse, running out of sheep
