  • As an Irish person, thank you England. Although if it wasn't for the cursed 'Black and Tans', i would hold a greater respect for England. Thank you for the architecture, the language, the rails, the pipeworks and the arts.

  • @lynchi33 England is not the UK or Britain.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrISniiPE England = England, Britain = England, Scotland & Wales. UK = England, Scotland, Wales & N.Ireland.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrISniiPE England is not Britain, Britain is England, Scotland & Wales, Britain is the Island of Britain, nothing more, or less. England is England, not Britain, never has been and never will.

  • @truefalse You are right. England is not Britain, it is part of Britain. Scotland and Wales need to be added to the mix to make it Britain and the N.Ireland for the UK. as the title says The United Kingdoms of Great Britain and N.Ireland. Look at Wikipedia @MrISniiPE

  • @ashlawn10h

    Technically Wales was incorporated before the Union so because it was/is a Principality, it is not eligible for being added to the flag/title of the Nation.

  • God Save The British Empire and Our Divine Monarchy !! God Save The Queen !!

  • lmao, gayest video ever.

  • Rule Britannia i'm from Canada

  • I agree with Mr Ethekyaa, Just take a look at a lot of the former colonies, they are a lot worse off now that they are subject to thier own tribal thug rulers.

  • Britannia was just lucky that after the glorious revolution, William shifted a lot of economic power from the Netherlands to Britain and funded his wars with Dutch cash.

  • @roxandorox What BS! How long had Holland been getting money form england since the reformation? Then the dutch stole English trade routes during the civil war. And continued to try doing the same after the restoration which led to war. William the Third, (Of Orange) was glad to take the Thrones of Britain to help prop up his dutch operations!

  • THE BRITISH EMPIRE WILL RETURN TO FUCK THE CHINESE EMPIRE!

  • @owen82100 amen

  • Long live the Queen

  • Fuck the EU. Referendum now!!!

  • @MrCutsteel Starting with a declaration that debt doesn't exist. To hell with zee War Companies!

  • Боже, храни королеву

  • As an Indian, I am grateful for the the British. India is an inheritor of the legacy left behind by the British empire. It is because of them that we have the English language, our vast network of railways, our parliament, our common law system, our military structure, our influence around the world etc. Unfortunately, our corrupt politicians still peddle lies about British colonial exploitation, when in fact the worst exploiters were our own maharajas, and the upper castes.

  • @MrEthekyaa We did a lot of things wrong, though.

    Amritsar was an absolute disgrace - Dyer should have been court martialled.

    We should have made India a Dominion decades earlier, but we too have idiotic politicians determined to cling on to India - and in doing so, alienated the Indian poltician.

    We should have policed partition better - or even worked towards avoiding it.

  • @MrEthekyaa ARE YOU BLOODY FUCKING NUTS, YOU IMBECILE!!!

  • The list of world powers is long: Mongol empire, roman empire, all the arabic islamic empires, persia, ottoman empire, chinese empire, japanese empire, russian empire, french empire, germany etc. but I think the british empire influenced the world in modern time the most!! We all speak english althought we arent english!! Im from Kosovo and USA and UK liberated my country from serbian terror thatswhy I`m very thankful Allah gave so much power to UK!! The time will come I will also fight for UK!

  • @mentorpodgorica DO not say Allah gave so much power to the UK, Or we will not help you again, Our Queen is head of the church of England, not Islam.

  • @mentorpodgorica Please, all ignore mentorpodgorica's comment because it is political provocation. This comment is shameful twisting of history. I hope there are some decent people who will not fall victim to this ignorant comment.

  • @mentorpodgorica Ever heard of the ROMAN EMPIRE? the CALIPHATES? the MAURYAS?

    Well, you should...You've mentioned them, haven't you?

    Yup, you can fight for UK when you grow up...Just make sure not to offend all the sensitive pricks over there.

    Jeez, to think that the pack of pathetic, childish dolts once ruled over an Empire. I cry every time, I switch on the news.

  • @redtihor1 He did mention the Roman Empire.

  • @mariazehler Gay Marriage, britain gets it in 2015. There CONSERVATIVE government supports it. but France and Germany show now progess in getting it.

  • very nice but i think that song`s expired!!

  • . . . . .Bruederle, Economy Minister: "GB can not only enjoy the benefits of the EU . It must also make its contributions.."

    Somebody said. "Now is spoken German in Europe." I could not understand the sentence, even though I'm German.

    A member of the British Parliament, said excitedly: This is outrageous. The Germans should not have too much say in Europe.

    I could understand him , because he spoke like Hitler.

  • 11/16/2011 in TV: Volker Kauder, the leader of the paliamentary fraction of the CDU in the Bundestag gave a statement to the introduction of a Europe-wide financial transaction tax on the regulation of financial markets in Europe:

    It can not be that the Brits say all the time. "We want to be in Europe, to sit in the European Parliament, decide over everything, but do not want to participate in solidarity in Europe."

    Bruederle, Economy Minister: "GB can not only enjoy the benefits of the EU "

  • @HerrHitlersReich Britannia is very Left-wing, we are allowing Gays there rights, We have a very large non-religious population and we have Universal Health care. Is that Fascism? Because if it is, then call me a Fascist.

  • @owen82100 The UK is not left-wing compared to the rest of Europe. Just look at France, Germany etc.

  • @HerrHitlersReich Go shove it somewhere where the sun dont shine. And the Sun is always shining on Britannia and her Empire.

  • Gets the Soviet Propaganda crap out of my head.

  • Rule FASCIST Britannia!

  • We may no longer be a superpower

    but the United Kingdom remains a Great Power

  • Much of what was former part of Britains empire is shitty wasteland today. The colonial period was much better for these countries as well

  • RON PAUL 2012

    THE COMMONWEALTHS GOT YOUR BACK BOSS

    ESPECIALLY CANADA

    ONWARD TO LIBERTY GENTLEMEN OF THE FREE WORLD!!

  • ohh britannia FUCKIN CLASS OHH AND WE RULE THE WAVES JUST TO LET U NO

  • fuck imperialism

  • How very arrogant. If you really think that you can make a generalization that we are 'dumb', please state why. Obviously you cannot even hold any intelligence to represent your own country.

    This song owns.

  • Ohoohoh the first pic says "god and my right". Probably to be translated to "God is my right", since it appears to be old French.

    Funny.

  • The map of Britain includes Ireland...

  • @rebelsoftheneongod Yes, because Northern Ireland is part of the UK...?

  • @DecmanReturns But the map also includes the southern part... You know with the history over there, and this song. 

  • Good Shave the Queen!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Thor29081 yes lets shave the queen!

  • God Save the Commonwealth!

  • GOD '' Save'' THE REPTILIAN. DEATH TO British CONQUERORS.

    ASSHOLE ANGLO-BARBARIANS WHORES OF ZIONISTS.

    THE British WAS 1000 YEARS SLAVES OF Romans

  • @unfukkkmee Piss of fuck arsehole I dont want to see you again!

  • @VoRlC DEATH TO Britain

  • @unfukkkmee death to you scum of the earth

  • @VoRlC BACK OFF AND DIE

  • @unfukkkmee YAYY!!!

  • So proud to be British...

    LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!

  • @NeddyxP Hitler wanted to take over Europe, not the world. British Empire losts its power in 1997 when it handed over Hong Kong to China, that was the end of the british empire, not WW2.

  • @blackandproud75 It's amazing how inbreeding can influence one's mind. o_O

  • @TheCrusader1109 says the american

  • @TheCrusader1109 woops i should have red your name. i thought yoy were the retard who posted the original comment. i read the name on top for some reason. sorry

  • Give pride to the Motherland. RULE BRITANNIA!

  • Britain had the biggest empire in history and the most powerful navy in the world. what the hell happened!!

  • @perins95 Empires come and go....as for the navy, Tools of the trade change..although we still have the best soldiers in the world period!.

  • @perins95 we got bored of being gods

  • It's honestly hard to not feel a great deal of respect for Britain. Despite what skeletons they have in their closet, they were still the dominant naval power for most of modern history (hence, "Britannia rules the waves"), made attempts to pave the way in government, gave America most of our naval traditions and slang, and, well, establishing a global empire is impressive, no matter how you slice it.

    

  • So why isn't this the National Anthem of the UK again? Much better than "God save the Queen".

  • Bryn Terfel at Last Night of the Proms, by any chance?

  • @mittfh Thats what I was thinking. It certainly sounds like him.

  • Comment removed

  • BRITISH EMPIRE YEEEEEAH!

  • All who criticize Britain and what she has done are jealous. To quote Blackadder "The British empire covers 1/3 of the globe. The German "empire" however consists of nothing more than a sausage factory in Tanganyika"

  • @blackandproud75

    New Zealand, Canada, Australia, America, India, and 1/3 of the world that expanded ONLY due to British colonies disagree.

    Plus, how are black people kept down? Britain had 1/4 of it's army as Sikhs! (all black)

  • Long live colonialism and imperialism!!!!

    Long live the empire which the sun never set!!!!

  • @HeiligesReich2

    and long lives the Queen !

  • @HeiligesReich2 Is this sarcastic?

  • @michaelwuzthere We need European integration to save our great continent or else it will be taken over by foreigners and their religion Islam. Then we will surely be going back to the dark ages.

  • @HeiligesReich2 wait until their subjects from africa and pakistan come over and take control and riot.could not defeat the ira for 30 years .long live ira and malvinnas argentina

  • Comment removed

  • @sohiala - Oh, yeah because they're doing so well on their own. That running water, electricity, food on the table and a peace are so overrated.

  • 2Borealis2011 I am just trying to translate your comment.... You are such a stupid twat!! I am really flabbergasted! Didn`t think someone as stupid would exist!!!! GOO BRITAIN!

    England has lost it`s empire through his excessive greed, was the reason for 2 murderous wars and is loosing its tiny ilsland now to its former slaves!

    My pity is kept in limits!

    (I am not the one who invented this shit!!!!!)

  • i"m 15 years old and me mum and me dad are english my whole family is english so am i and we moved to America and me classmates thinks its funny that i have an accent so im treat like crap and get yelled at for "spelling" the wrong way:( like this if u thinks that wrong. or not our im told so thus is me favOURite song

  • @5632648514 keep strong! I love Britain! It is my favourite foreign country! Just think you guys have NO idea how great GB is!!! And one last thing: It will getter when you are in College! You may even be able to go back home!

    Even though I prefer the sound of Land of Hope and Glory!

  • @5632648514 Don't be too worried. Those little brats who laugh at you will grow up in a year or two, and start being jealous of your english accent... and b4 they yell at you for your spelling, tell them that your spelling is the right one. Americans don't know how to spell... BTW, english is NOT my mother tongue.

  • @5632648514 I'm sorry, kiddo. People always feel threatened by what's different. Especially kids. Pretty sure they find different reasons to make fun of everybody who isn't popular though. I assure you things will change when you're an adult.

    (U's are of Satan! Just kidding.)

  • England hat durch seine maßlose Gier ,sein Empirie verspielt, die Welt in zwei mörderische Kriege gestürzt und ist nun dabei auch noch ihre mickrige Insel an ihre ehem. Sklaven zu verlieren.

    Mein Mitleid hält sich stark in Grenzen......

  • Thankfully for most of you, this post was written in a small local language spoken by around 1% of the world's population. The reason why this language is not more widely recognized is that the speakers of it were responsible, in the first half of the last century, for as many as 80 million deaths and untold suffering and use of their language has declined accordingly. The writer, clearly not the brightest bulb on the web, argues that England's greed caused two world wars! Dummkopf!

  • @malibucynman Actually WW1 was when the UK was supporting her allies, and WW2 was us keeping you German dogs under control, which worked out quite nicely for us.

  • @N0WAR1337 Well Hitler started the WW2 because he wanted to take control all over the world AND thanks to Soviet Russia Germany lost. USA and Britain fought against 1.6 Mio german soldiers ( Maybe the number is wrong), but the Russians fought against german armies, that were six times bigger. And The British Empire lost his Power because of the two WW. So except the USA everyone lost the WWII on their own way.

  • @NeddyxP Learn English

  • @malibucynman Well, the allies did squeeze every coin Germany had out of them after WWI, which made the Germans quite angry and they felt humiliated. Even though, Nazi-Germany was terrible, they were at the time the most powerful force on the planet, but they were up against a force even greater than them, the Allies :)

  • @malibucynman Are you seriously blaming the UK for the world wars? My god you're so fucking stupid

  • @Borealis2011 Deutschland hat 2 WKs angezettelt;1000 von Menschen ermordet und missbraucht!

    GB war gierig,andere Länder(DE)auch,dies war im imperialistischen Zeitaler völlig normal!

    Ich bemitleide alle leidenden Menschen, alles andere ist im Hinblick auf zerstörte Existenzen zynisch!

    Germany was the reason for 2WWs!Killed&abused 1000s

    GB was greedy,other states(Germany included)too!this was normal during the imperialistic time!I feel with every suffering person! Every thing else is coldhearted!

  • @tineeeable

    Im Gegensatz zu den BRD-Trotteln, die keinen anderen Geschichtsquellen außer Guido Knopp oder Ilja Ehrenburg haben, könnte sie wenn ,sie ein Freund der historischen Wahrheit wären, sich in den VSA interessante Lektüre besorgen,die ihnen die Augen öffnen würde über die Rolle Englands in der Weltgeschichte.

  • @Borealis2011 I think I know quite a lot about it! I`m studying it! Isn`t this some left publishing company? I think my prof might have mentioned it once...!

    But still... People are loosing their existence just because GB had a lot of colonies?? These so called former slaves are also loosing their existence! By the way: Many people that participated in the abolishment movement were british!

    And if you want to be historically correct talk about the role of GB, not England!

  • This is one American who is proud of his British roots! We in the USA are what we are today because of our British heritage such as freedom, democracy and courage! I know there are many Brits who are pissed at the USA, but when the chips are down, BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER and we always kick ASS! RULE BRITANNIA!

  • the sun never sets on the Spanish empire also.

  • @belac0r92 pero para ellos eso no existe, igual que no existe Blas de Lezo y Cartagena de Indias xDDD

  • @Annunimas ni Cartagena de indias, ni Santa cruz de tenerife, ni cornualles, ni La contra armada inglesa, la rebelion en Irlanda, La expedicion de Galvez, la batalla de la rochelle e inumerables mas...

  • @belac0r92 asi son esta gente, pero bien que dan por culo con la mal llamada "Armada Invencible" *¬*

  • @Annunimas Es por esta razon que l'espanol es hoy la idioma de la servitud...

  • Respond to this video... Quando ganas unas batallas pero perdes la guerra es lo que pasa....lo siento!

  • AMAZING! :-O

  • @StormingGrenadier777 Go fuck yourslef. If it wasn't for us, where would you be right now?

  • I am from Serbia but I love the British and this is a beautiful song.

  • Rule Britannia. Rule over what? What US let you to.... Skipped this outdated songs and welcome to real life. You are US bitch.

  • @efcpl at least Britain isn't going to default on its debt payments like a certain shit whole country.

  • @mcaddicts We're not defaulting. We're just a "risky" investment. Like a trillion dollars dumped on a shithole called Afghanistan and George Bush didn't cause that already. China won't come knocking for payment, though, because their economy depends on Americans buying their lead infused toys.

  • @efcpl What the fuck is Sweden good for besides rapists and seal-clubbing?

  • @ViDeOMaStErPaUl I was confirmed by a reputable U.S. historian Professor David L. Hoggan, who proves in "The Forced war," the initiators of world War II , that UK is primarily guilty of the outbreak of this great war, that Germany is innocent.

    Then I decided to disbelieve the winners, who have committed similar crimes after 1945 as the Germans, for whom the Germans were sentenced at Nuremberg .Not sentenced for crimes against humanity or accomplishment of a war of aggression were winners of WW

  • @ViDeOMaStErPaUl

    When I read your comment since I had to laugh. I'm sorry, I should not do that, but the realization, that the English are just lied like the Germans, caused my laughing: "The British are held just as stupid as the Germans, even still 65 years after 1945. Still in 1945 - I was 8 years old - I believed in the presentation of the winners of ww 2. Later, about 1957, I uncovered their lies.

  • @plaid4u lol wat are u on, ye that may have been taught to us like wat 80 odd years ago but not anymore, our education system teaches us to be fair, it also teaches us how to deal with certain people who have a random bias agaisnt all things british for know real reason, other than they're relative who they probebly never new was killed by a britishmen lol..

  • Consistent with U.S. historian David L. Hoggan, we can understand in "The Enforced War", which is confirmed by eyewitnesses: Halifax, UK, worked from 3 in 1939 in cooperation with Poland in the great war, Lord Halifax / GB, an equilibrium politician, worked 1938 / 1939 for the Great War with the aim to destroy Germany. Therefore, he worked in rabid hatred of a world coalition against Germany. Danzig should provide the reason for war.

    So is guilty of WW 2 mainly UK . Germany is innocent of WW 2

  • @tommid08 "Hitler and the German people did not want war. We have not responded to the various invocations of Hitler for peace. Now we have to conclude that he was right." Sir Hartley Shawcross, the British general prosecutor at Nuremberg (see Shawcross, "Stalin's maneuvers against Germany", Graz, 1963

    UK declared war on Germany 3.9.1939.

    Now you should be sure, that I am not stupid , but you have to learn much.

    UK is guilty of WW 2 . . .see Prof. D.L. Hoggan "The Enforced war".

  • @Giselher1937RS Hitler wanted a war with Britain on his side so yes, Hitler did in fact want a war. He just just didn't expect his enemy to be the British Empire.

    I spoke to a German and he confirmed Hitler wanted a war and used the Treaty of Versailles as a scape goat to start it. Seriously why else would Hitler invade Poland, he called Britains bluff and got his ass kicked for it.

    Britain and France did anything they could to avoid another war not hitler. 

  • @BugMagnet It is amazing . . .even ridiculous ! The British should not wage wars against other nations in 1914 and 9 / 1939 . . . . then we must not speak about peace later. . . . even on this video in 2011.

    You are responsible for the expulsion of 15 million German people and 60 Mio victims in ww 2 and think it's all wonderfully arranged.

    Die Unordnung, die Briten geschaffen haben, können andere beseitigen.

  • @Giselher1937RS just as the germans were responsible for murdering and raping millions more for no reason watso ever other than their religion, appearance or sexuality.

  • Why is everyone always discussing the second world war on music video?

    It is really annoying that every second comment on Preußens Gloria is about Hitler and now that I listen to Rule Britannia everyone talks about the holocaust.....

  • THE BRITISH '' RULER '' WAS MAN-EATER 500 YEARS AGO.

    PS: SIR BRIT VANDAL

    THE HOUSE OF RIGHTWING

  • In 7 /2011 Bishop Williams was sentenced in Germany to Euro 6500 .

    It was his fault . . .it was his great guilt : He demanded evidence for the Holocaust , gas chambers and so on .

    That is not allowed in Germany. You`ve got to believe .

  • @dan 11009 I still owe you the name of the Bishop : Williamson . He said in a video on YouTube :" I believe, the historical evidence is strongly against 6 millions jews having been intentionally killed in gas chambers by Adolf Hitler. . .I believe, there were no gas chambers . . .There were no jews killed by gasifying in gas chambers ."

    I can not say this, because I do not know.

  • @dean42bean I`m sorry, my last comment wasn`t for you ! I beg  your pardon !

    It was@dan11009

  • @dean42bean . . .oh , I`m a fucking lunatic ? what`s the matter with you ?You've probably stopped school too early, Mr.Loudmouth.Ask the British bishop (YT), he only can tell you the truth about ovens, I`m not able to speak about it.

    I know the book "The forced war, The initiators of the Second World War ",

    Prof.David L. Hoggan, a serious US historian , is facing British war debt , , , Germany is not guily . . .I red the book and now I`m sure, prof.Hoggan is o.k.

  • Greets from Canada!

  • @dean42bean

    What were the British in 1939 in relation to Germany . . friends or foes ? I'll tell you. . . Churchill will tell you in his memoirs . He is absolutely right . .I agree..:

    "This war is not against Hitler or National Socialism . . we want to smash the power of the German people for ever.".no words of a friend !

    03.09.1939 GB declared war on Germany.

    Germans couldn`t wait for GB !

    Therefore, there was the Battle of Britain."

    US historian prof.D.L.Hoggan says : GB is guilty for WW 2

  • As a brit i can honestly say we are run by a corrupt bunch of shit head, along with the rest of the world. Everything these days is about war, when can it ever not be?

  • @mendaxer

    Canadian trash, you just a garbage of Europe, so were your ancestors who migrated, probably they were criminals or whores that England did no more want. go back to clean the toilets!

  • @antibigbrother3000 Look to Australia for them. Canada was mainly fishers and French. Your arguement is void, so stop arguing and enjoy it.

  • @mendaxer

    Proud to be a descendant of mass murderers??!

    "Germany, land of criminals" Eisenhower Shame on your country until the end of time!

  • @antibigbrother3000

    Let´s all remember the atrocities the British committed against the boer people in South Africa and the Irish people.

  • @roxandorox wi? if wer going to do that then lets remember all the horrible things other nations have done to, its not a question of how cruel each nation is its the just the human race as a whole, ther are people in it that have that capability to do awful things like that, it just so happens that hitler was austrian, lord kitchener was british, and genghis khan was mongolian.

  • why are people bitching about the french, like Britain would have been able to hold on against the Germans if they shared a land border? i'm British, but if it wasn't for the channel.. same with Napoleon.

  • @Hilts931 Remember, neither Britain or France (and probably not Germany) would have existed without the Channel. So when you think about it, we CAN be proud of fighting on....

  • @BasilFawlty4444 i'm not talking about being proud about fighting on, i'm talking about being ABLE to fight on

  • @Hilts931 we WERE able to fight on.

    My point is that WWII would probably never have happened if it wasn't for the historical impact that the English Channel had on European politics in previous centuries.

    I'm not BLAMING the English Channel, I'm pointing out that when you face Britain, you face the sea too. So in reality we should NOT look upon it as if we only won because of the English Channel.

  • @BasilFawlty4444 So whats the deal of people bitching about the French who didn't have a channel to defend themselves with, is my ORIGINAL point.

  • @Hilts931 Becuase they had the Maginot line which was more powerfull than any channel and belived to be impenitrable and jam packed full of the best French troops but the French only built it on the Franco-German border so what did the Germans do ?!

    Cut straight through Beligum as they did 28 years ago so the Panzer elite sliced straight through France and all the conscripts and reserves while the elite where stuck in the Maginot line helpless and had France on there knees in four weeks..

  • @Hilts931 Within five the puppet state of Vhicy was set up in which the majority of the remained French force joined including there major fleet.

    The French could have very well held on against the Germans but they made a piss poor job of it when the majority of the German army was in Poland they sat there jacking off when they could have advanced into important areas like the Rhineland Saarland and the Rhur the industrial heart of Germany.

    then they as I said they put there best ...

  • @thebritish25 and brightess in the maginot line which could just watch in horror how the weaker units got torn to shreads.

  • Respect from germany for this great song and the old british empire.This really should bee your national anthem

  • @Bucketohboil HAHAHAHAHA! SO TRUE!

  • @joesheehan93 lol at throwing insults at the french and saying youre nice.

  • @joesheehan93 Britain= ugly women, terrible food and dumb hools... still be proud :-)

  • @MrLopata mate terrible food? we have mini cheddars and Jaffa Cakes!

  • @TheIRONGIANT531 CHOCY DIGESTIVES!

  • @Bucketohboil

    HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAA :)))

  • @rovot1 What does it mean? Stupidly lauph? 

  • @neykiov335

    I wouldn't really say snails, horsemeat and frog's legs constitute as 'great food'.

  • So I'm an American..But this song kicks ass and so does Britain..and when I get drunk I definitely yell out "The sun never sets on the British Empire"

  • @dukane14 Good on yer mate

  • @dukane14 yeahhhhhhhh!!! i love our american allies and people like you!

  • @dukane14 , Well I'm an american too and I say this tune sucks ass and so does britain. And when I get drunk I definitely yell out " The sun is laughing because there is no more british "empire."

  • @insanelylogical no you don't

  • @insanelylogical Commonwealth.

  • If you can't call an empire an empire that owned 1/3 of the world then you can't really tell can you.

  • @minotaur878 I think when a shitty human "owns" VY Canis Majoris maybe I would call that an empire but 1/3 of Earth? Ridiculous

  • 1/4 of land and an antarctic region

  • @minotaur878 but land of what? A tiny tiny irrelevant planet. Again take a look at VY Canis Majoris and then try to call anything on Earth an "empire". And that's just one star out of 400 billion in just this galaxy. Put things in perspective. Nothing can be great on Earth. Besides controlling X number of humans on a given territory and owning that territory are two very different things.
