Now we can add 'The Welsh' to that fairly extensive list. And what is that list? Why, the list of people against whom the Daily Mail has a vendetta. To think that my great-great (x39466) uncle worked for that abhorrent rag. He'd be turning in his grave if he could see the unrivalled tripe it publishes nowadays. Gays? Well, they're trying to turn all our children homosexual! Muslims? All they do is blow up we jolly white folk. Young people? All feral, wild and obnoxious, and usually pregnant too. And as for Labour, don't even get me started on the nanny-state surveying liberal-minded fools! And the Welsh - well, they're just not English. What am I talking about? This: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197960/Lady-red-Katherine-Jenkins-opens-Ashes-Welsh-hymn-TWO-anthems-hymn.html Bear in mind that the entire section on Katherine Jenkins was only added after the Ashes began. Before that section was added, the entire article consisted of rants about how the match - played in Cardiff - would be opened by the Welsh national anthem instead of the British one! What horror! I mean really, how dare they open a match held in Wales played by the English and Welsh cricket team with the Welsh national anthem? It beggars belief! Ridiculous! Political correctness gone mad! Here are a few choice quotes that the Daily Fascist has to offer us: 1. "It is believed that the move is also aimed at appeasing Welsh Assembly members after the devolved body gave the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) a £3million grant to enable Cardiff to be picked as a venue for the series." No, my dear folk at the Daily Mail. Only you and the BNP believe that. Others can recognise that the move is 'aimed' at only one thing - the fact that the match is being held in Wales and some of the players are Welsh. If it had been played in England, you would have used 'God Save the Queen', despite the Welsh players, and that would have been just fine, of course. 2. 'They should just have God Save the Queen as they're playing as England not Wales and the rest of the hymns demean it.' - former England captain Alec Stewart No, my love. The match is being played under the ECB, a false acronym which actually means 'the England and Wales Cricket Board'. Anyway, God Save the Queen is the British national anthem. 'Jerusalem' is widely recognised as the (unofficial) English one. So get your facts straight, dear. 3. 'None of the current England squad was born and bred in Wales, and only batsman Alastair Cook - whose mother comes from Swansea - has any close Welsh ancestry.' There we are, then. He has Welsh roots. The team is not entirely English. So shut your Tory faces. And finally, my favourite quote: 4. The musical confusion at the opening Ashes test was branded 'ridiculous' by traditionalists. No. The musical 'confusion' was branded ridiculous by the Daily Mail, the biggest and most pompous 'traditionalists' of them all. It's called CHANGE. Guess what, we have immigrants, and it's no longer a hanging offence to be gay, and not everyone works, and some teenagers beat each other up and do drugs and get pregnant. Not all changes are for the better, but if we lived the way you wanted us to we'd still be shipping black people over as slaves and Oscar Wilde would have been shot at birth. Yours Faithfully, A white, educated, relatively middle-class, unsperminated, non-homosexual. Labels: dear world, fascist shit, rant, sigh |
I think more of a distinction needs to be made between the English and British national anthems. And after that, people should stop caring. It's really not that big a deal.

Non-homosexual, eh? But that could mean you're a vile, detestable, fence-sitting bisexual, couldn't it?
