'Twas ever thus.

Aleg....your SNP slip is showing ?

Lily why are women and children on the last rung of the ladder?

lemo...your lack of understanding of Scots is showing.

Scots≠SNP

I don’t think anyone needs a lecture on why England shouldn’t
Sing the National Anthem from somebody who is actively wanting to leave the Union. Scotland could sing it too, before a game if they wanted to.
I think after the success of the England team the other night, you just had to say something ( pity that it wan’t anything nice though.)

Well since nobody seems to understand what the problem is, I think lectures are definitely required.

You're right, quite a lot of people in Scotland don't want to sing the anthem of a union in which we are a part, when we are representing only a part of that Union; did you ever want to sing the European anthem before we left, to support the UK in a sports competition?

I did say nice things about England winning. Maybe you couldn't see that post because it was hidden by the chip on your shoulder.

In my own defence, and to everybody who actually wants to read it:

I didn't bring up the difference between the UK and English anthem on this thread, somebody else did. But I'm not sitting here and taking s*** from anyone.

Good luck against the Ukraine.

Football supporters (and other sports supporters) routinely boo the opposition, it’s a sport thing, not restricted to any one nationality.

Meant to say thank you Alegrias1

I’m fine with fans booing when the opposing team get possession of the ball. But not when their national anthem is playing.

No, I only heard about it, didn't see that part but very wrong and very embarrassing

Maggue Tulliver, could not agree more.Life must go on we need to man up and live with it!

I believe there were 27 deaths yesterday. Out of a population of over 67 million. We are not told how many people died of cancer because of delayed treatment.
I know a lot of people get Covid but influenza is just as deadly.

Why do you say the flu is as deadly as covid?

At least you know if you have got flu Having to test for a virus that is so bad you don’t even know you have got it
This could be detrimental to the number of positive cases many will not test if they feel absolutely fine I have done a couple because I have been to a wedding at the weekend and I am going away and don’t want to get caught out by Jerseys incoming testing regulations. I really would not bother otherwise

So you’re only worried about having the virus if it stops you going on holiday, not if you might pass it on to an immune suppressed person that could die of it. I’m sorry but that mindset is totally alien to me.

MayBee70 but you have not been regularly testing either so you could have unwittingly passed it on
I actually don’t usually go out that often perhaps once a week to the vegetable market so I don’t think I have infected to many
Of course I am worried about taking the virus to Jersey as they have low cases but I also don’t want to spend 10 days of a 2k holiday in a hotel room
Life has to go on this living in perpetual fear
I am sorry MayBee70 if this offends you but I am sure I am not in the minority
The vaccine is doing it job

Do we have an English Anthem? I haven’t seen it discussed on here. I remember on FB, no one could agree what it should be, which is probably why England sings the UK National Anthem. I’d happily sing Land of Hope and Glory.
I wouldn’t mind Land of Hope and Glory

No we don’t Molly so we sing the National Anthem, but maybe the English manager should check it’s alright with random people on GN first.?

The English have every right to sing the National Anthem

Did the English manager orchestrate the singing? Well done Mr Southgate, clearly a man of many talents.

I haven’t been shopping for over 18 months. We have had no social visitors, even family. We met my son in a garden and stayed outside the whole time. Haven’t seen my daughter for 18 months other than when she dropped off some food for me and knocked on my window. The only people to have been in the house was a BT engineer (masked) when the internet (our lifeline) went down. And a chimney sweep (masked) because we were worried about having a chimney fire. I’ve been to the dentist twice and had my vaccinations twice. Took the dog to the vets but waited outside (masked). No pubs, no cafes, no cinema. We walk the dog and keep our distance from people. We have had our food delivered. We still bleach it.

Maybee I do think in the nicest way you are being a bit OTT why on earth do you bleach shopping that can't be healthy

Rude.

Not rude Maybee just honest
