Come On! Show Brit Of Respect

LUDICROUS argument of the week: Why we boo God Save The Queen.

According to some it's because it includes a line about crushing rebellious Scots.

A line from a verse written in 1745, used sporadically then dropped completely in 1790?

It's another country's anthem. So let themsing it. And show the same respect we expect.
