(no subject)

And once again, England snatch defeat (or at least a draw) from the jaws of victory... ;)

Meanwhile, another poll. I was thinking about this when I watched the first England game and saw some comments afterwards on how Gary Neville didn't sing along with the English national anthem because he was brought up Jehovah's Witness and then I thought about this tonight.

Personally, I think I would struggle even as someone who identifies as English, in the unlikely event I was representing my country and was expected to sing along to that bunch of twaddle. I don't want Liz Windsor to reign over us for years and years, no more than I want any of her fatuous family to do so in the future. So for me, the 'national anthem' has no relevance to our actual nation whatsoever, while at least other countries seem to have stuff that isn't 'God Bless Our President, We'd Like Him To Be In Charge For Years Even If He Has To Change The Law So He Can Be Re-Elected'... ;)

Anyway, a poll for English folks (and the couple of Scots I know I have on my friends list if they care to say something, since it's allegedly not just the English national anthem... what do they play when it's England v Scotland?):

[Poll #752378]
