@DoneronChips The problem with dying for one's country, while an entirely noble and selfless act, by default it leaves it in the hands of those who would not die for it.
Speaking as a Welshman and as a proud Falklands veteran, we have Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land of My Fathers) as our national anthem, Scotland have The Flower of Scotland as theirs, so what's wrong with England having this as their national anthem? It's all well and good having God Save The Queen, but that's the communalist anthem of Great Britain. So yes, I would have to support England in having their own specific national anthem.
@RevMalcolmWilliams Thank you for your service! from a 15 year old lad from England :) When Im old enough, I will vow to thee my country like my father and brother! RIP to all fallen hero's xxxxxxxxxx
@RevMalcolmWilliams It's not because it's a United Kingdom that it needs to be homogeneous. It's important to remember why your flag has 2 cross and 3 colours on it.
one day we take revenge of Iraq and Afghanistan we take all over of uk, pakistan army clear you in a map you fucker then we fuck your mama ,papa , your sister ,your wife we share yr women one by one we Muslim fuck you in your town and sister we have special plan for her we fuck her in street then all we given her a cup of urine to drink then we found fun, most important we kill your mother but before we rape yr mother again and agian but that`s very sad that day yr r a dad man hahahahahahaha
@IMRAN3521 Or, more likely, we nuke you before any of this can happen. Your own nuclear weapons would reach about as far as Iran, which means we'd kill two birds with one stone. Then India can wipe your third world, war-torn, treacherous dung-hole of a country off the map by incorporating you back into a Raj sized greater India. Then you'll be ruled by Hindu's.

i am not british, i am english. if you ask a scotsman , he will say he is scotish, a welshman will say welsh, and the same for an irishman.so why must the english be different, you may not agree with me , but it,s only my opinion
I am still young enough to emember the Falklands> I came home from school and got told my best friend was on the Sheffield. I still miss him and appreciate what he did
@jendon3 unfortunetly due to the demographic of the nation, primarily the fact that couples are having fewer children and later in life means that the ratio of retired to employed to growing, meaning that there is not enough labour to fully supply the UK. So basically we need immigrants. Also coming from a nation that is essentially a massive mix of celts, romans, saxons, jutes, angels, danes, norse and normans it is fairly ironic to suddenly say we should keep others out.
Hang on folks.........we have our freedom......just look at the conflicts around the world. We will always thank our armed services for putting us in this position
I fought during WWII at Nijmegen as part of the Grenider Guards, where I was injured by shrapnel and returned to England. At the time I was fighting for King and country and now as I look back I wonder what I fought for, where the country that I served has become one where soilders are called murders or butchers by the people they have sworn to protect
I send my love to Britain from across the waves. We love you, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. We love your music, tradition, history, style, glory, heritage, pomp and circumstance, and your people. From America
England used to dominate the globe, when "the sun never set on the British Empire."
However, imperialism fell out of fashion and out of favor. But England is still a beautiful and historic country. I think what makes a country great is the character and honor of its people. I'm American, and the trouble now with America is that people are not honoring God like they used to. There is more dishonesty in the people than there used to be. Curse of debt from Deuteronomy is on us.

this nation has forgotten how to be proud,for fear of upsetting those who see us as rasicst,the scot are proud the welsh are proud and the irish are also proud of their nations,so why the hell are the english so scared,maybe to many of the pc brigade.COME ON ENGLAND BE PROUD ONCE AGAIN ,and if those who come to our shores do not like this,maybe you should return to your homeland or go elsewhere, and stop putting this nation down and trying to make it something its not ,ITS ENGLAND,AND PROUD
@toby19635 If someone calls you 'racist' look them square in the eye and say
"In your OPINION I'm a 'racist' but you ONLY say that because I'm White.'Anti-racist' is just a codeword for Anti-White.No one is flooding Black countries with non-blacks and telling everyone to 'mix'.No one is flooding Asian countries with non-asians and telling everyone to 'mix'
ONLY White countries are expected to 'assimilate' with the 3rd World and create a 'blended humanity'
@toby19635 You are incredibly right. The English MUST be proud of who they are and put an end to Labour's immigration stupidity. Now that the Scottish National Party won the 2011 Scottish Parliament Election by a landslide, all English persons MUST vote for the party that represents the English values the best.
@toby19635 Thank you for saying what needs to be said. I am Scottish, English and Irish but above all British. I love this country and am very proud of it!
LONG LIVE SOUTH AFRICA AND BRITAIN. BUT WE HAVE SHIT GOVERNMENTS, NOW OUR TWO COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY TURMOIL. I WANT OLD SOUTH AFRICA BACK, BUT NOT RACISM. WE'RE ALL EQUAL. LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO <3
This American extends the expression of his gratitude to the British who have lost their lives in conflicts ranging across the globe. That you may not agree with us in all things and that you stand by us yet in spite of divergences of opinion is the testament to profound virtue of your nation. And though I am proud to be American, it by no means diminishes my respect for the British, who, now as before, have so much to be proud of. God save the Queen!
@KJenq Thanks for that,and I hope you had a good Independence day,still a moving piece of music where ever you come from.Cheers from a Brit.The feelings returned.
@KJenq Ditto from this unabashed Anglophile. We owe much to our mother land. There are so many things we share--history, language, and for many Americans, kinship. May we always be friends and allies.
I, my self, am American. Im proud to be American and born into my nation. But, the one other country I love besides my own, is England. I know some of you will say "ITS NOT BRITAIN ITS NORTHERN IRELAND, SCOTLAND, WHALES AND ENGLAND! ITS THE UK!"... but I say England because I love that specific country out of the rest of the UK. Yes, our affairs in the colonial era was harsh, but today, our great alliance flourishes, and hopefully forever.
@crossline7 All together, each has made the others what they are today. One could not survive without the others, and I'm a Scot. None of us need independence
@MrCagivaman That may completly true to your self. That is your own opinion and I can agree with it as well. But other scots do not want to even share an island with them. Where my opinion stands is that I am currently fond of England more then the other nations on the isles, (I do love all of them though) EXCEPT for the Brits who make belive that they are still the empire of the world and talk down to everyone like there closest ally, America.
@crossline7 Cos we've had weak PM followed by weaker ones.We don't own the world anymore,bout time we stopped sending our boys and girls into battle with boots that melt.Let these other nations get on with it.....and you're not our closest ally,the sooner we all no that,the better.....No offence,pal.
@Dalp1974 I dont care the reason, its just your not the world leader and its good that you can admit it. And I could care less if your our closest allies or not, to be honest we need a stronger one, no offense..... but then who is your closest ally?
@crossline7 We.....the people who live in this country........US is the US......you've got a lot more probs than us,look at your country,as you say,no offence....hope you sort it.We're not shouting like idiots(You and I),like some people do.Hope your good.
@Dalp1974 Oh god do we have alot more problems. Its horrible, but then again, we can use our power that we have aquired to fix them, as soon as we get a better freeking president. and no, we are calm unlike most other youtube arguments.
How foolish to propogate ideas of nationalism in a world so otherwise advanced. Your nations, empires, states are mere pillars of sand in world history. This is a memorial video to those who died because of petty infighting between nations and phony ideology. The sooner we can throw down the shackles that tie us to our cultures and nations, the sooner we can live as one, without the threat of war.
@Sbunce92 How foolish to think that by emancipating individuals from society they may be more free than they are now! You are simply pointing one way and saying it's bad, while leading off into a direction that no-one knows the end of.
I was once proud to be british but now that I'm 70 I'm ashamed and embarrassed. We have become a nation of weak soft flabby limp wristed people, Our once great navy is useless , some factions of our emergency services are useless and cowardly. our polititions are on the make we give the workshy money and houses. Thank goodness for the army and the commandos. John.
@Thisismytrollingface thats what you think some of us would still fight god and the Devil for our Queen and our nation and it matters not what race creed or colour!!!!
@of once greaTheJacomoa I feel the same way about the United States. Compare the U.S. of WW2 to today. It's disheartening to say the least. I still have to have faith though we can only take so much before something big has to happen and change it all. Heres hoping for the future of falling nations.
@TheJacomoa Here, here. It's not just you John, a great deal of my generation feels the same. We need to get this country back to greatness and we should look to our true leaders, the men and women of Her Majesty's armed forces, for the inspiration required.
@TheJacomoa | speaking french will soon be mandatory for sections of the army and all of the special forces will soon have to allow in women and homosexuals because of europeans human rights laws.
@dljc1979 So? Makes sense to me. French is second only to English in its global useage. Just another tool in the repetoir for foreign action. And whats wrong with woman and homosexuals in the armed forces and spec ops? Do they magically have less potential than your average joe blogs? (And yes, Im a guy. I've known some who are utter pansies too =P )
Old and stupid misconceptions and stereotypes are better off gone. This is the 21st century, not the 19th.
@TechbotALPHA | okay.. i wrote that message to try and freak you out even more.. for the random fun of it, i couldn't care less about women and homosexuals in the armed forces (despite the fact that it IS a problem and they DO shit everything up) and speaking french with this new 50 yr deal with the french is just practical as far as i'm concerned, i lied when i said it was mandatory, i don't have a fucking clue about that.
@TheJacomoa you old prick, what is it you've done for this country that allows you to hold such arrogant views, just because your older than everyone on youtube doesn't make you right. Your 70 and can't speak English properly, example it's spelt politicians and work shy isn't one whole word hahaha. what use are the Army and Commandos. FUCK OFF AND DIE
have some respect that man has probley served in our armed forces and seen some of his best freinds die and he is right our country could be better so grow some balls go to afganistan and watch your freinds die thats if you survive and then lets see what you think!
@justharryful why the fuck should i do anything, this isn't the 18th century mate there aren't any wars that need fighting or land to be taken, what exactly does this country need from me??? what have you done that is so great then. if your going to tell me you were in the army, big fucking deal, i could join tomorrow but there is no need for me to do so, nor anyone else for that matter.
@liampw20 youre right the country doesnt need you. little cretins like you just leech off the system. you could join tomorrow? bullshit pussies like you dont have the balls. you'd piss yourself and cry if you were put in the position of a soldier. without a military the UK's economy would collapse. and then your scumbag mother would have to go back to whoring on the streets, which incidentally is how you were conceived. tell her i said hi.
@liampw20 cheers. tell her im sorry for stretching her out like that...and for all the blood. god it was a nightmare. im guessing the reconstructive surgery went well.
@liampw20 This country needs everything from you, and likewise you need everything from the country. The country, the Motherland is the sum of individuals that lies within it. Their habits, attitudes, everything. Work hard, give out to charity, improve the lives of everyone around you and extend it beyond your immediate family, thats serving the country. And likewise its the same for those extending their hands to help you and the people close to you. That's how a country functions.
@TheJacomoa i agree to most of that but "our once great navy is useless" is not true with britan and the uk being 1 small island the navy is our first defence against attackers
@TheJacomoa You don't have to be your age to think that. Someone said to me the other day about our historic airshows and mentioned the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The way this country is going, that'll be our last line of defence soon! :( And then politicians and the left wonder why the likes of the BNP and EDL are on the rise. I am not racist, I just love my country. I am just ashamed to be British these days. We've lost all we once stood for.
@TheJacomoa That's one of the best comments I've ever seen on Youtube. When I compare our ancestors who slaved and killed for survival to the leeches on society, those who we must house and feed though they give nothing back to society and are undoubtedly going to spawn more useless offspring in the years to come I am revolted at how quickly our cultures have changed. Our government encourage apathy, and I am almost scared to see how much worse our societies will become in the years to come.
@TheJacomoa i agree with you on everything other than being ashamed and embarrassed of being british. sure were not perfect but look at the rest of the world. we have a better system than virtually any other country and at a time when our army has worked so hard its unjustifiable to call us a nation weak soft flabby limp wristed people. our public services have been pushed to breaking point, you can not blame the people of the services who work so hard with what they have.
@TheJacomoa it's not only happening in the UK but everywhere in the world. Still, as a foreigner, my father and I still view Great Britain as the best, anywhere. There is no other country and nation as "tops" as GB !!!
@TheJacomoa Im 15 and i compleatly agree, from being a country that once 'ruled the waves' to becoming a country that can't stand up for herself, thats why i aspire to become a politician so I can attemp to fix this broken country, i aspire to do things for Brittiania and the Queen and the people, intead of todays popiticians who just do things for their own wallets
@TheJacomoa I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of. Smaller Britain has stood down tyranny through the ages despite odds so against you it seemed foolish. How many catholic armadas and blitzes did you look in the face and say "Do your worst!" and come out ahead and free? The electronic computer, TV, the jet engine, even the toilet -- all British. If not for Elizabeth seeing off the armada, there never would have been a Bill of Rights that your wrote.
@TheJacomoa@TheJacomoa I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of. Smaller Britain has stood down tyranny through the ages despite odds so against you it seemed foolish.

If not for Elizabeth seeing off the armada, there never would have been a Bill of Rights that your settlers wrote.
@TheJacomoa It's not as bad as all that you know. Our navy is comprised of modern vessels, each containing many times the firepower of their WW2 counterparts, and some factions of the emergency service where always useless and cowardly...Some things are different, some things improved, some worse. I'm 26, and I think our best days are still to come.
@TheJacomoa I hate to hear people slate the Royal Navy. I admit that we lack ships, but we are not 'useless'. The men and women who serve in her are top notch and the ships that we do have are very capable. We have both RN and Royal Marine personnel out serving in Afghanistan, proud to be fighting for their country. Please don't forget that throughout history Britain has called upon her navy time and time again to save the nation from the jaws of defeat, and she has never once failed to deliver.
@TheJacomoa Then instill in yourself a sense of immutable honor, let no one pry you away from it, and maybe, just maybe, you can bring your country back to what it needs to be. Reformation starts at home and the truth speaks itself as long as we are willing to live it and let it live thru us. It does not need rules to enforce its will, just the iron constitution of a righteous man's soul, and like fire it will spread on its own.
As beautiful a piece of music this is, it dangerously promotes this blind patriotism of sacrificing ones life for King and country. This is what led to countless un-necessary deaths in the Great War. Granted, on some occasions a sacrifice is necassary. But let us move away from a blind belief that ones country is better than the rest.
@truthoutmedia I disagree with your interpretation .... seems to me the message is there is something beyond one's country, and that is God and his heaven.
I can't say i love imperialism. The alternatives may sound quite moral and righteous, but self-determination, multiculturalism, and cosmopolitanism have their own glaring problems too.
I'm Spanish, I love my country, my people, but people outside of a story created by people for people, if not absolute dynasties and kings that they directed. I love England, although not always according to actuarial values that today are considered appropriate, but I love its people, its cities and social work. I am Spanish, British and European.
Long life and prosperity to the peoples of Spain, England and Europe!
i get goosbumps with the sheer pride i feel for this beloved land when i see stuff like this,i only hope my childrens children will be able to celebrate there fore fathers and there history as were still able to do though im always awaire of those dangerous individuals who see it as shamefull to celebrate your past and teach you children were they came from and what we did.
@superdan1875 - I agree.My grandfather a lieutenant in the artillery in WWI;(2 great uncles were veterans as well.) He was in Mons Belgium when the armistice was declared Nov 11, 1918. He never talked about it except to say that it was a terrible loss.
gramule be negative about the country u live in ,thats why the countrys the countrys gone down the pan,people like u slagging it off,go and live in india
where the hell are we going as a nation,we are scared to carry a flag on our national day,we are threaten with disiplinary action by employers,for being proud,no-one calls the jocks the taffs and the micks racist when they sing loud and sing proud,we should stand tall and stand proud of what our forefathers have done for this nation as a hole,yes we have made mistakes in the past,but the biggest mistake is to allow the our pride to be down trodden and national pride to fade into nothingness

this nation has forgotten how to be proud,for fear of upsetting those who see us as rasicst,the scot are proud the welsh are proud and the irish are also proud of their nations,so why the hell are the english so scared,maybe to many of the pc brigade.COME ON ENGLAND BE PROUD ONCE AGAIN ,and if those who come to our shores do not like this,maybe you should return to your homeland or go elsewhere, and stop putting this nation down and trying to make it something its not ,ITS ENGLAND,AND PROUD

@toby19635 If someone calls you 'racist' look them square in the eye and say
"In your OPINION I'm a 'racist' but you ONLY say that because I'm White.'Anti-racist' is just a codeword for Anti-White.No one is flooding Black countries with non-blacks and telling everyone to 'mix'.No one is flooding Asian countries with non-asians and telling everyone to 'mix'
ONLY White countries are expected to 'assimilate' with the 3rd World and create a 'blended humanity'
It's not diversity,it's Genocide "

@toby19635 You are incredibly right. The English MUST be proud of who they are and put an end to Labour's immigration stupidity. Now that the Scottish National Party won the 2011 Scottish Parliament Election by a landslide, all English persons MUST vote for the party that represents the English values the best.

This American extends the expression of his gratitude to the British who have lost their lives in conflicts ranging across the globe. That you may not agree with us in all things and that you stand by us yet in spite of divergences of opinion is the testament to profound virtue of your nation. And though I am proud to be American, it by no means diminishes my respect for the British, who, now as before, have so much to be proud of. God save the Queen!

I know some of you will say "ITS NOT BRITAIN ITS NORTHERN IRELAND, SCOTLAND, WHALES AND ENGLAND! ITS THE UK!"... but I say England because I love that specific country out of the rest of the UK. Yes, our affairs in the colonial era was harsh, but today, our great alliance flourishes, and hopefully forever.

Our government encourage apathy, and I am almost scared to see how much worse our societies will become in the years to come.

@TheJacomoa I hate to hear people slate the Royal Navy. I admit that we lack ships, but we are not 'useless'. The men and women who serve in her are top notch and the ships that we do have are very capable. We have both RN and Royal Marine personnel out serving in Afghanistan, proud to be fighting for their country. Please don't forget that throughout history Britain has called upon her navy time and time again to save the nation from the jaws of defeat, and she has never once failed to deliver.

Reformation starts at home and the truth speaks itself as long as we are willing to live it and let it live thru us. It does not need rules to enforce its will, just the iron constitution of a righteous man's soul, and like fire it will spread on its own.

As beautiful a piece of music this is, it dangerously promotes this blind patriotism of sacrificing ones life for King and country. This is what led to countless un-necessary deaths in the Great War. Granted, on some occasions a sacrifice is necassary. But let us move away from a blind belief that ones country is better than the rest.
