Rule Britannia or not?

Sadly your post was so predictable that I even told you what you'd say before you wrote it :D

However, as I said you've already proven to be so boringly predictable, and I find the back & forth so tedious, I'll end my participation and your oh so predictable responses including the classic "so you can't answer then" to a question that had nothing to do with my post in the first place, but which I did answer by the way, in deliberately simple to understand language too I'd hoped, ah well.

"My answer was so bad, I predicted you'd say my answer was bad"

Okaaaay then.

Again you mentioned how many immigrants there are in Wakefield, not me. Shouting that you don’t care doesn’t really ring true otherwise why even mention it and the fact you think Woking has much less (when it hasn’t)

nobody else brought up the number of immigrants but YOU.

so why even mention it???

The missing word in this conversation was "descent". If you compare the numbers of immigrants and of immigrant descent in Woking or Wakefield the numbers will be vastly different. The distinction is academic to many, when looking around an area. Rightly or wrongly...

Sure, why not? If just to annoy the SJW. :D

Interesting point though.

Which do you think is a more valuable British tradition to be proud of and worth trying to keep? Respect for singing Rule Britannia! or respect for social justice.

Are you a RBW or a SJW? :D

I even said that myself yet got told that he doesn’t have an issue with immigrants and never has! It was him who brought up the numbers of immigrants be that first generation or third generation!

I didn't even mention immigrants first, dirtychinchilla did, are you blind or what? Why are you constantly harassing my posts with replies like magnolia used to do? Have you got some little vendetta because honestly just PM me instead

I've been to Woking, it's a nice place, average house prices around £500k, probably not many low paid workers can afford to live there. I doubt anyone in that photo cares what people from Woking think of them.

They probably don’t. Woking is a nice place, though. It has plenty of low paid workers, lots of immigrants. You probably wouldn’t like it

There you go look, quoted for you, my post doesn't even mention immigrants

I apologise then but why pick on my posts? Why harass me and not harass dirtychinbchilla? If you have a vendetta against me please just PM me, would be easier.

We would have moved on from your mistaken assumptions ages ago if you stopped flagging me in your replies. You just seem to have a beef with me since that thread where you said you would punch a man insulting your wife because you would look pathetic in front of your mates if you didn't.

If you don't like my posts then put me back on ignore. Its been bliss for the last three weeks with you ignoring my posts :)

Who cares?
Seriously, who cares?

This started off as a topical discussion as to whether "Rule, Britannia" and "Land of Hope and Glory" should be dropped from the Last Night of the BBC Radio 3 Proms on the basis that it could be seen to be jingoistic, racist and somewhat out-of-date.

It seems that the consensus opinion amongst reasonable people is that they are traditional, fun and should not be dropped or only played by the Orchestra without a soloist and audience participation - obviously this year is "unusual".

Frankly, nobody cares about the immigrant population statistics for Wakefield or Woking.

Meanwhile - the BBC Radio 3 Proms are back tonight - see HERE, broaden your horizons and enjoy some wonderful music :)

Are you feeling okay? I've never had a single person on this forum on ignore, you might be mistaking me actually just ignoring your posts because you're a pedant to me actually using the ignore function

Why are you replying to me stockhausen, I've already quoted the posts showing I didn't mention immigration first? My post had nothing to do with that. Enjoy the proms, I'll be playing video games.

Of course you do, quite obviously, but the diversity you see in advertising isn't actually representative of the UK ethnic make up at all, which is about 80% white or more. Count how many people of colour you see in adverts vs white people. Every company is so desperate to show how "not racist" they are that their adverts have become some ridiculous multicultural utopia that doesn't actually exist.

always makes me laugh in these adverts how you end up with some odd family being shown.

Half these lot can spell Britain let along remember the songs that are supposed to represent the nation (I don't feel very represented by them), or who are even on the statues that if removed will wipe out British history.

It's xenophobia and racism masked up as patriotism, it keeps recurring throughout history, and we never learn.

Literally do not care about the proms, or what songs they play and it seems the choice was made on 'artistic' reasons anyway because of the lack of audience and smaller performing crew.

How can you claim these made up words and racism from a photo. ?

it’s years and years of oppression. The birth of this left wing liberal ideology. People have just had enough.

It’s been one thing after another. BLM, misrepresentation, mix race relationships on every advert, apologising, kneeling, constant illegal and legal immigration, promoting minorities, demonising white people. The indigenous people have had enough to last a life time.

It’s the UK we are talking about. If people chose to come here for a better life then you should understand the values and respect them. If you don’t and you want to change our ways and histories maybe you are in the wrong society for your ideology.

We are basically in political ideological war.

Why is it acceptable in a white Country, to have an all black commercial. Purposely created with woke ideology in mind. It’s a bit like blm, white lives don’t matter. It’s utterly wrong. Got nothing to do with the R word.

What exactly is a 'white country', are black people here to just clean or be nurses but not good enough to on a TV advert for the risk of upsetting people who can't handle a bit of diversity?

Oppression by who exactly? The people at the top, taking all the money and responsible for wage stagnation which means owning a home is a dream for most people earning an average income, the ones that own the media and have convinced everyone that a few black and brown people are the reason for all of societies ills while they laugh at the working class having a pop at anyone but them.

My GF and I earn decently and we're still going to have to move out of London to have our own place, I'm fed up too but there we go.

You can view it however you like. It’s a white Country that minorities have migrated to for a better life. You can’t then wish to change the origin of the Country to suit your needs. It is what it is. A white Country.
