@Khristophoros1001

and yes .... I agree with you, I'm Italian and I visited London recently.

I am shocked and even offended by overly Islam is seen in that city.

yes I am Italian, but ..... London as a European is my land and is part of my culture and I can not stand the mess that is happening there with Islamic invasion .

Wake up Britannia.

I'm a Yankee (of Irish heritage, to boot), so this is totally unbiased: This... is fucking... AWESOME!

@exnemocpt Hi Khristophoros, I am afraid that Jack Straw the Home Secretary of the time, invited all and sundry to come and live in Britain, sadly being the half-baked, fuck-wit he is, resulted in what you see in Britain today! I can only apologise about your visit, as I am one of the very few generic British persons left that have not managed to escape to Australia or Canada! Best Wishes Zapata

@TheFORBEZZZ They're part of the British common wealth, this is just as much their song as it is ours.

[TheFORBEZZZ]

Also, why was there an Australian flag? I know they were a former British prison colony, but they are seperate now, so why have the flag when singing Rule Britannia.

[TheFORBEZZZ]

Is it still common for British people to call Americans "Yanks"?

[tomwatson087]

This and God save the Queen are the two songs that fill you with pride at the fact you're British.

Did you see the German flag at 1:49 ??

We Germans have to go abroad to be patriotic, very sad issue..

@Drdans41 I agree with you, but I fear British patriotism is a fading these days, particularly with the younger generation. I know many of my friends particularly are not patriotic in the slightest, in fact quite the opposite in some respects.
