God, you guys are hard core. Maybe you should sing, “God save the Queen, she ain’t no human bein’, this fascist regime has made me a moron.”

[QUOTE=Sal Ammoniac]  
Come, now, a rousing chorus:

_God save our gracious Queen,  
Long live our noble Queen,  
God save the Queen:  
Send her victorious,  
Happy and glorious,  
Long to reign over us:  
God save the Queen…_

Isn’t singing _God Save the Queen_ more or less the same as a hypocritical mouthing of a pledge?

For Queen substitute Team.

Sung at most football matches 😃

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright]  
you’re already beholden to the Queen, whether you like it or not.

Really? Even if I’m one of those dubious immigrants the Daily Mail are always banging on about? As far as I’m concerned, I pay my taxes and follow the laws, and that’s enough. Her Madge can take a running jump - since I have a choice, I’m staying loyal to Harald the Fifth. 😃
