      Still, don't let such trivia get in the way of a cheap laugh.

      Have you read or better still been to a performance of Henry V ?

      aaah yes our heroic troops (some of whom ARE heroic by the way , so don't get me wrong..........)
      nothing like a bit of slaughter in a foreign country to "bring us all together"
      another of our noble traditions

      How many meaningless deaths does one need to "bring the country together I wonder ?"

          The comments below are hilarious



          for exmple

          "We saw them at Aldermaston, at Greenham Common, the Newbury and Winchester by passes and latterly on the steps of St Pauls. They are anarchists who hate everything we hold dear and would seek to destroy our society and it's way of life from within"

                  one of the things that is funny (in several ways) is that some people really believe all of this "pulling us all together" nonsense
                  which seems to prove that we have failed to teach critical thinking

                  and as for the "ancient" traditions ........

                  about as ancient as NOT clapping between movements


                  this is more of the one nation that I would want ............

                    Substitute "cynical" for "critical" in the above and I might agree.

                      GG - yer wrong on this one one mate!

                      Apart from the minority of miserable misanthropes, this whole thing is going to be a rip-roar of celebration for all of us in this great nation.

                      Even new, overseas members of our nation are getting in the swing!

                        Saw on the telly this morning about this Royalty Themed Restaurant. Apperantly, they sing The national anthem, everyday at 3pm! Recently the owner threw out 3 customers for not standing to the National Anthem!

                          What did these morons go in there for? To ruin the good time and enjoyment of others maybe?

                          Little twerps like that should be thrown out - wish I'd been there, I'd have relished being able to assist in throwing misanthropes like that into the gutter where they belong!!!
