Land of hope and glory - vera lyn - a tribute to England

[14delirious]

do one, pro english or fuck off! and yeah thats how we do.., dont hate cos your country done nothing and got shit songs......

[UpstairsMaid]

you asses did it to yourselves. you had one great task - to procreate at a rate of 2.2 children for each woman to maintain population. only you didn't - you're at 1.8 this means your population will shrink as will your economy and tax base. hence immigration to maintain growth so that your debts can be paid or at least the interest.

[lynne150351]

long live britain, only dame vera can sing this song

[timewarlord]

Proud to be an Australian subject of Queen Elizabeth II and even prouder to be part of a nation who is in the great British Commonwealth of nations! God Save the Queen and God bless England!!

[TheLolbot3000]

@timewarlord Totally agree with you!

[TalliferUpplands]

Proud to be a Canadian and a subject of Queen Elizabeth: part of the mightier and mightier Commonwealth of Britain.

[vlamousse1]

jerusalem Rika Zarai?

[angelavoots1971]

This song or Jerusalem would be a good national anthem for Great Brittain.

[yumyummoany]

@angelavoots1971 We have a national anthem with enough versus to satisfy most. It includes this one - rarely sung - for obvious reasons!

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.

[AntwerpLoyal1880]

[TheLegendaryShot]

i dont suport BNP but they way this Great country is heading im affraid to say they will just get into power as the current government doesnt seem to stop these islamic extremist groups from protesting and troops coming home but the stop the country from knowing by not showing it on the news =/. i just hope that the other parties take some notices before its too late.

[london1st]

God bless my England! My home and my land,God save the Queen!!

Forever English and forever Proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[angelavoots1971]

I think everyone in Great Brittain will be proud of this song.

[trigga1uk]

@angelavoots1971 absolutely, wonderful song. 

[timewarlord]

God Bless Britain and God Save the Queen.

[UrsiBear1]

Great song. Proud to be British/English etc. (Not BNP)

[1948richo]

shut the fuck up all of you in peace an war we are all brits i am english but if any scotch irish or welsh or anybody like the gurkas get hurt or killed it fucks me up i am proud of my country and i love vera lynnand what she stood for in her time if your an immigrant an you cannot hack this an you miss your country its time to go back or join us the tolerant ones my hero churchill

[Wabeberu]

This should be our National anthem! Not the Dirge we have.

[ericartwo1]

Well get on with it and make a better video! How many English men were killed compared to the Scottish, Welsh and Irish who dies in greater numbers! Its pricks like you who go around saying England won World War 2! Dick-head that you are! I am mad because I lost a father, two Uncles and two cousins during WW"!

[waratah08]

A brilliant bit of work. A wonderful performance by Vera Lynn and equally well backed. What was the orchestra backing her as they also helped to make this a great item.

[OUTDOORY]

maybe you have but i am english through and through so when bnp get in to power you can go back with all the little paki s

[DarrylRowlands]

To agree with 'nwalsh1' everyone in the UK other than the Celts (Wales Scotland, Cornwall and Ireland) are immigrants, they are called anglo-saxons because they came to Britain many years ago from what is now scandanavia where the saxons lived. Or for those who don't get it, many people in Great Britain are ancestors of the Vikings and in the modern day many are the result of hundreds of years of interracial breeding with black slaves. The BNP don't realise that they themselves are immigrants!

[OUTDOORY]

vote BNP WITH PRIDE

[huggybear241]

@OUTDOORY ...vote BNP with an X cos if you vote BNP you are probably illiterate...pmsl...

God bless ENGLAND xxxx

British and Proud (not racist and ignorant)

[allgoonersaregay]

Love England, fuck the bnp!!

[OUTDOORY]

@allgoonersaregay how can you love england you prick when its all most taken all our old peole getting bit up by pakis

[Gazinhio]

Patriotism and nationalism are not racist or fascist. The Scots can be nationalist and no-one screams "fascist" at them - so why can't we English have our own nationalism? Of course the BNP (The Alf Garnett party as I call them) have muddied the water here (since Britain is a State and not a nation I can't see how it's even possible to be a "British nationalist" ) but there is a pluralistic, inclusive, civic English nationalism which is in everyone's interest and should be celebrated.

[norvernbrd23]

yeah vote bnp and you might as well go jump on every grave of every man who fought and died in ww2. i understand ppl are angry about the number of immirgrant in this country but bnp is not the way to solve it. Everyone might as well become a skin head wear a bomber jacket and doc martines. The bnp are just a posher version of them anyways!!

[smokemike75]

super thanks

[rudyeilabouni]

woow! what a voice!

[manutdsalfordreds]

Is the a tribute to all england or just that SHITHOLE london

[VigisKane]

For Britain and Her Majesty we will prevail and those who have betray Britannia will be brought to justice,

the BNP will see it done,

Britain prevails

[Dutchromance]

Don't be so humble, I played this record for my father over and over again when I was little (post war) and we are Dutch, it is a great, grand, song. ENJOY!!

Football is a totaly different matter, don't mix up things

[JamalRahman00]

Proud to be British. Ashamed to know BNP supporters ruin our great country.

[NelsonChurchillMonty]

Rule, Britannia!

May she be great once more!

[simonflint666]

and most people who slag of the BNP have no idea about them except what the read about in the papers. if you are happy with having mulitculturism forced on you then thats fine, dont vote for them instead vote for the multi millionare war criminals and theives we have in parlement today.

[TONYCOV881]

im not a brit, im not british.........im english, through and through.

[VigisKane]

@TONYCOV881 your British then

British by Birth

English by the grace of god

[TONYCOV881]

@VigisKane no cos im not welsh scottish and northen irish, my birth was in england

[VigisKane]

@TONYCOV881 i was born in England too,i am English first and British second,whether your English,welsh scottish or welsh you will always be British,its in your blood whether you like it or not

[TONYCOV881]

@VigisKane no sorry english it is all the way

[manutdsalfordreds]

@VigisKane Not really English is anglo saxon (german immirgrants) but you're right about the welsh and the scotish and dont forget the other CELTS the cornish (non english according to them)

[pappy154451956]

mum's family hails from the gateshead area--Pennsylvania USA here.Proud American with a yearning to visit and i love this song./Great video

[pappy154451956]

i am a proud American with deep roots in the Gateshead area of England and a lifelong yearning and love for all things British .This is beautiful.

[TONYCOV881]

@pappy154451956 this is considered to be english not british mate

[kariryanisabitch]

i'll fight for britain just as i would america. i guess its the patriotic/nationalist in me :)

[kariryanisabitch]

"mother of the free" yet they are trying to ban the BNP!

[golgotha9622]

I must admit that I feel the banning of the BNP is very undemocratic.

As i've stated elsewhere on this link we didn't fight thelast world war so that we could remove freedoms and exclude sections of the population.

However much I disagree with the policies of the BNP and the far right leanings of a lot of it's supporters, I believe that in a healthy democracy all voices must be heard.

Yes Kari, I know it's ironic that there is something in this thread that we agree on.

[kariryanisabitch]

thank you for being nice :) if feels better to have an opinion and not be attacked :P gonna give me some "speliin" lessons?

[VigisKane]

@trigga1uk VOTE BNP or this Britain will fall as fell Ancient Rome,plagued with the same problems we face now

[19smokey19]

@trigga1uk england still exist vote bnp forget all the p c brigade they the ones who fucking up the country and im not racist, but dont forget in 30 yrs time it will be islam briton be no freedom, u can see for yourselfs its not gd for our grand kids they will never know what england is , i love my country and would die for it..bnp is our only hope , its not racist to vote for em if you love your country ...

[excitedbike]

@19smokey19 fuck the bnp

churchill would rather have died than see fascism come to the uk

[Steve10578]

@excitedbike - I think Churchill would be disgusted with Britain today. I did not know being patriotic is being a fascist

[tipple1933]

I think it is great, we should all be proud of this great country of of ours,

[gethewil]

Goose-bumps..shivers down my spine and tears in my eyes,yes that happens to me too,every time i hear dame vera Lynn sings this song and I am from 1951!

[ThomaSKAptijn]

Goose-bumps..shivers down my spine and tears in my eyes...and hey, that's saying a lot for an old anarcho punk. Vera Lynn's singing does that to me.

[kariryanisabitch]

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens. history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. — George Washington

[kariryanisabitch]

immigration at current levels do replace workers here, im angry because you can't see that. immigranst are given free education almost immediatly after entering then given job placement, even though we have a large unemployment. how is a steady stream of immigrants and a shrinking job market going to help?the vast majority arent coming here and creating industry they are taking employment and adding to a larger unemployment line.

[GeneticRob]

Fact !

[kariryanisabitch]

BNP!

[kariryanisabitch]

LOTS OF THANKS AND LOVE FOR THE BNP!

[palmbyo2]

she really has the most beautiful voice

[nwalsh1]

I'm really cheesed off by these little BNP pricks spewing hate and labeling it patriotism. The truth is that well over 90% of people living in the UK have an immigrant background whether it be through peaceful means or invasion. With modern DNA tests we can tell the ethnic origins of someone, so why not test all the members of the BNP and send them back to germany france or sweden?!

[footballmad85]

I agree with you, it's rather annoying. But almost everyone who "supports" the BNP don't actually know alot about them, they just take them at face value and believe thier actually good for Britain, so i ignore thier comments. This is in NO way intended to be a BNP video!

[nwalsh1]

Thank goodness! I mean have these people even listened to the words of this song?

[DeenHartley]

@footballmad85 I am a BNP supporter, and i do not think this is intended to be a BNP supporter, and because we support that party, well the reason i support the party is, while helping our own home land, we can bring thing to other country's, does not mean i am a bad person supporting BNP.

[putty1994]

@DeenHartley yes it does they are racist bigots

[pyro999maniac]

@footballmad85 and when they slag off the immigrants and their children they are complaining about themselves!. I love this song and i'm german-british. I cry every remembrance sunday remembering that if the British and her allies had not made those sacrifiecies my country would not be the country it is today...free.

[saigonpunkid]

@nwalsh1 You're a shame to your own country,

[kariryanisabitch]

@nwalsh1 i see your up to your old tricks again. shut your hole and if you don't like the BNP get lost!

[excitedbike]

@nwalsh1 amen, brother

[EmperorHarold]

Good point well made. We need more patriotism, loving our own nation, and not this new form of nationalism, hating other peoples nations and cultures. That is all it seems to be, we see little of the promotion of our own culture in BNP policy, just the rejection of others.

[VigisKane]

@nwalsh1

its genetical fact that we go back with this island 8,000 years,it is OUR island,i have no problem with immigration,but when THEY ARE LET IN IN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS,WHEN I'M CALLED A RACIST FOR FLYING THE ST GEORGES FLAG,WHEN I CAN WALK DOWN THE STREET WHERE I LIVE AND NOT BE CALLED A WHITE BOY OR WHITEY,WHEN GREAT BRITAIN GETS SOME BALL BALLS AND BACKBONE AGAIN,until then i will vote BNP,it has nothing to do with race,it has to do with culture,pride and history,

[huggybear241]

@VigisKane If its about Culture, Pride and History...

Our forefathers fought a war against racism, persecution and bigotry.

My Grandad would turn in his grave at the thought of one of his famiy

voting for a group of thugs and racist...thank god he instilled sense and morals

into his family xxx

God Bless England and God Bless you Grandad xxxx

[VigisKane]

@huggybear241

i agree with you mate,our ancestors fought against racism,they also fought for our freedom and for Britain to remian BRITISH,how can you walk down a street in London and seriously look around and say with a straight face something is not wrong,our ancestors are rolling in their graves,my grandad also fought in ww2 in the battle of the atlantic and in north africa and my two great grandads were in ww1,my grandad shares my views,hes didnt risk his life to see britain endup likethis

[UKJay92]

@nwalsh1 As much as I agree with you that the fascists should stop commenting with their views on this video, you cannot say immigrationg through conquest and immigrationt through peaceful means are the same thing. Conquest earns you a right to live in that land instantly. England is the land of the Angles not the land of the Celtic British. I am not a fascist I am a patriot who has immigrant blood in him, but I hate people who do not consider Angles, Normans and the rest of them true English:P

[timewarlord]

@nwalsh1 You have to admit the state of modern Britain after the mass immigration from the former coloured colonies and now Asylum seekers and Muslims is pretty bad, I mean they dont even share the same cultural virtues or embrace their new home, they arent even proud to be British. Once upon a time it was a badge of honor to be British! Where did all the true patroits go?

[MUNKMMVIX]

the soldiers of gb in the world wars fought so we could live without invaders so go home immigrants

[golgotha9622]

Our soldiers fought against bigots like you in WW2, learn some history.

We weren't invaded during either war but many times over a couple of thousand years, sometimes by armies and sometimes by immigrants.

Guess what, that's where us "true" Brits come from, we are a mongrel race and should be proud of it.

We are better than other countries in a lot of ways, we have a nation of fine people they are sadly dragged down the same sewer as people like you.

Nationalism = bad

Patriotism = good

[kariryanisabitch]

we are a mongrel race? site your facts on that please, besides telling people what they should be proud of. i would fail the test given to immigrants? what test? two million of them are illegal! many more are "asylum seekers" site your facts please.

[golgotha9622]

That's "cite" kari. We have been invaded by nations into our far distant past, did you go to school? We have had the Romans, Vikings, Celts, Saxons, Normans and the Angles. These are a few off the top of my head there are more. Get a book. Read it. Educate yourself. Which facts do you mean at the end of your rambling message? 2 million immigrants? Yes the Labour parties open door policy of the last 10 years let in too many. Britain is great, that's why they come.

[kariryanisabitch]

nationalism bad , while partiotism good? thats a paradox! they go hand in hand. patriotism= national loyalty. nationalism=devotion and loyalty to one's own nation. hand in hand :)

[golgotha9622]

Kari, buy a dictionary.

Nationalism is the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one's own nation, viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations.

Nazis were nationalists.

Patriotism is similar but different,

it is defined as a devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.

The difference is if i'm patriotic it doesn't mean I have to dislike or even hate others to feel good about my nation.

[kariryanisabitch]

my definition came from a dictionary. and they do go hand in hand, just because you say they don't doesn't make it so.

[kariryanisabitch]

being a nationalist doesnt mean you "hate" others. Whereas a nationalist is someone who expresses his love or concern for his nation in an active political way -- someone who takes a hands-on practical approach.

[golgotha9622]

Tell me Kari Ryan, which part of britain do you live in, or were born in?

Which part of being a proud Brit do you enjoy most?

Is that you on the link to "canoodling with Kari"?

If it is you then you sound very american, in fact the link says that you are american, living in america etc.

So how can you have opinions about Britain?

Have you ever been here?

This would explain why your grasp of history is poor, americans have so little it's not worth teaching.

It also explains your spelling.

[kariryanisabitch]

well, lets just say im a BNP sympathizer. im eventually going to have to move out of texas, our nonexistent border patrol is turning texas into an extention of mexico. texas culture is vanishing and i have come to realize "immigration" really is colonization.

[whatawonderiam]

yeah i know what you mean.

[kariryanisabitch]

not trying to be mean but we are all starting to reach for "higher ground". when i discovered the BNP i wanted to support them, even though im texan i know this will be britain soon enough. texas is almost unrecognizable and if its happening here britain will follow. if im wrong than i would be glad but i don;t think so. plus british at heart, my great grandparent are english.

[bootlehistory]

[kariryanisabitch]

love it! well said....

[thegclique]

[msbrit100]

hell yeah..BNP!

[vaginalodor1]

Land of hope and glory, land of BNP!

[texasunited51]

i agree this songs makes me think of the Bnp too! god bless them they are all we got!

[pudgeypingers]

texasunited51 - You say God bless the BNP. Which God are you referring to? The Hindu Gods? The Jewish God? The Gentile God? The Indian Gods? Face facts, you're a complete idiot and an uneducated one at that!

[kariryanisabitch]

you speak of yourself with your attack on my personal opinion. and if i say god bless the BNP as most british are christian, so why would i say jewish god please bless a christianized nation... leave me alone you viper and respect my rights to my opinion!

[anylizethis1]

long live britain, long live the BNP!

[davehobbs1]

you're scum

[anylizethis1]

i have tried to give your bnp comment a thumbs up, but i think the nazi's who run youtube have programmed the 4 thumbs down. everytime i try to give you a thumbs up i come back and the 4 thumbs down is right back almost instantly!

[queenzadragon]

The song recalled lots of wonderful and memorial images during the 156 years British rule in Hong Kong.

[hfdpayner]

This video makes me feel very proud, and no matter how bad it gets britain has, and will always pull through!

[GERMANOPHILE]

Its down to you the younger generation, dont ever forget your history, cos its what makes you English/British you have so much to be proud of and thats the truth! this Nation has given the world so much! (not the US)

[ZerenMoviari]

Hey, we Yanks have given the world a lot too.

Always be proud of your nation's accomplishments, but if you have to put down another's to do so...what the hell, eh? :P

[oldstuffandcollect]

we Brits will never forget the Americanes a great country and a Great race we love ya

[kariryanisabitch]

i love my country to but america is dying to from a illness called immigration.

[nwalsh1]

Yeah right, just ask the native americans, you tit.

[kariryanisabitch]

take your shit and leave! BNP!

[kariryanisabitch]

whatawould you like me to ask the native americans?

[nwalsh1]

Well if anyone can talk about immigration in the USA then it would have to be them wouldn't it? The white dominated nation we know as the USA is entirely based on immigration! So how can a country consisting almost entirely of immigrants be dying due to immigration?!

[kariryanisabitch]

well shit for brains, you made my point. immigration is colonization. and you right america is a direct result to the mass european immigrants that made us great. modern day america is also a direct result from the countless non-white third world immigrants in this country. i dont have sympathy for indians from america either they where killing themselves in wars long before we came. the only difference is we had better weapons. they would have done the same to us if given a chance.

[nwalsh1]

OOOOH so i get it, its only the non white immigrants you don't like because we all know that skin colour dictates how one acts and their usefulness in society, how could I have forgotten!? Oh silly silly me for thinking that people from Bangladesh can be as good a doctor as a white man, or that a man of african heritage might even be a half decent world leader.

[kariryanisabitch]

you get nothing,you just mock me. nowhere did i say they cant be doctors, are you jewish? the way you talk AROUND the subject makes me wonder. yes there are alot of differences beyond "skin color" go live in africa if you love it so much i promise you we won't miss you.

[nwalsh1]

Oh no I'm not Jewish, you foul anti-semite. I'm much worse than that, I'm a white, middle-class, left-wing, pro-choice, equal rights loving, atheist. I'd love to go to Africa and what's more I'd bring you along to show you the just what it is like to truely suffer and then you might understand why these people want to come and live in countries like our own and what's more I'd bet they'd be much more appreciative of it as well. Don't forget love thy neighbour!

[kariryanisabitch]

your attempt to use sympathy on me is usless. its not my fault that fortune blessed, well once blesed america and britain.why take me to africa? their all coming here and soon you will have the britain you hope for a third world non white islamic nation..i wish they had pills for your emotional diarrhea till then we can't let people like you go unchecked. i'll resist it forever and ever amen.

[kariryanisabitch]

do you see the muslim world asking for forgivness for when that invaded spain? and they never will. its only the conquest white europeans have made that are being expected to say " we're sorry" is mongolia and china saying sorry for how much of eastern russia they held? no and they never will. and i will never say im sorry for america, we won america from indians we knew that america had to be a dominant white population or we would of never florished. im white and i wont say im sorry!

[nwalsh1]

The moors brough peace and prosperity to spain for more than 200 years. America had to be a dominant white population? What the hell are you on about? Since when does the colour of one's skin have anything to do with anything? No one is asking you to say sorry about anything, you seem to have a lot of misguided anger at something you really have no understanding of. The cultural melting pot of America is something to be proud of not to fear. Why do you hate non whites?

[kariryanisabitch]

go jump off a bridge plz, they INVADED spain and if they where a white nation you wouldn't call it peace and prosperity!

[nwalsh1]

Typical response from someone who is scared of the truth, who due to their amost certain lack of education feels useless. Whom due to their own insignificance, rather than attempting to make positive changes to their life, blames everyone else for it, and when challenged by someone about their ideals they freak out get offensive. The only thing i'm intolerant of is intolerance. I only hope you can get over your small man syndrome one day!

[kariryanisabitch]

typical response from someone who has no regard to his contrymen and would rather see them replaced by immigrants. im not uneducated, you dont know the extent of my education but i do have something that you dont, discernment. fools like you cant see the forrest for the trees. i have the right to be offended unlike you i admit im human and anger is just as natural as love. and your lack of forsight and abundance of ignorance is enough to make any person feel disdainful.

[nwalsh1]

Replaced? No one is "replacing" anyone just joining them. I've not denied I'm human or that anger isn't natural, however I will admit that I don't allow my anger to control me. May I ask, anger at what exactly? What is it that you dislike about immigration? I lack foresight and have an abundance of ignorance? How so?

[golgotha9622]

Wow, you type really well for a person with one hand holding a thesaurus.

Just a tip Kari "dont know the extent of my education" Ryan, it's obviously not very good.

If you can't spell "countrymen", "foresight" or "immediately", find the spell checker or use the apostrophe key, you would fail the test given to immigrants entering our country!

You sully the memory of our fallen in WW2 who fought against bigots like you, this was supposed to be a land fit for heroes, not quasi-nazis like you.

[kariryanisabitch]

if thats your argument against what i had to say then its irrelavant. if you represent the majority of british people, than enjoy your third world invasion.

[tjmarshuk]
