Is God Save The Queen not good enough for our Scottish friends?

Double figures please!

The Scottish one is loads better than our drone of an anthem !.....perhaps they also have a problem with the final verse.....
"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 Queen. "

"They break our legs and tell us to be grateful when they offer us crutches."

That's my point though. Surely you can't just pick any song that you like?

That line is from the distant past. The Scots do as they're told these days.

Ah. the problem isn't really so much the the Scots have a national anthem, it's that England DON'T have one and simply use Great Britain's.

That's what I'd have thought. But I guess that's because I'm English, and don't have a huge inferiority complex.

They always sing this before Scottish national teams play, in a variety of sports, so it's not exactly new information you're giving us here.

Maybe we should bring that verse back.

And ditch all the others.

Nice try, bit too obvious and Scot's are too used to the anthem thing to bite.

4/10, but shows potential

If someone could weave a vegan, religious, political troll together they'd have a surefire winner. Add in a sprinkling of conspiracy and pow!

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Shame you don't know the words to your anthem before making the comment. Also, the song you refer to is the British national anthem. England don't have one!!

I think it is the line about her not being a human being that is found to be too harsh, not the type of thing they like to hear on Morningside...

God Save the Queen is the British national anthem and thus is national anthem to all constituents. Scotland, Wales, NI claim to have individual national anthems... but they dont.
