It shouldn't be punished but booing the anthem is weird.

Paying 12m to a then child who was abused so it doesn't end up in court is weirder

It’s an anthem asking to support the queen.

It should be booed. The monarchy is an outdated institution and a waste of taxpayer funds.

And it's asking mythical bearded man in the sky to save her too. Which is probably even worse when you consider the tax exempt institution that Christianity and most religions are.

I've never got what we are asking God to save her from????

Are they booing the queen and God being in our national anthem? Because if that's the case I agree, and about time it was changed.

Or is it the we're Scouse not English thing? If that's the case, it's just weird.

It's the latter, but many pretend it's the first. I don't like the booing you wouldn't (shouldn't) do it to any other country, why ours, it's just edgy contrarianism. But calls for punishment are ridiculous and it's a lesson in not feeding the WUMs and that is what this whole thing is.

Yeah I pretty much agree with this.

Many English Liverpool fans don't support the national team either. Now I dislike international breaks as much as the next man but World Cups and Euros are much better if your country is involved.

It's an anti London thing as the government, monarchy and national football team are all be associated with the capital.

Clearly the booing

Just sing Jerusalem.

I’m no royalist but booing the anthem is weird - just don’t sing.

By the same token - refuse the bank holiday your about to get courtesy of the queen.

It's not a Scouse thing, not an anti London thing.

Religion is ridiculous, The Monarchy is outdated, it's an absolute feudalistic dirge of a song, and even our flag is fackin shiiiite. It's a Catholic symbol that we largely adopted because we were oh so effective at slaughtering Muslims under it, and as such has been widely adopted by far right movements.

We should go back to pre Catholicism symbolism and reinstate the white dragon flag, before the racists manage to completely subvert it, and we should get an upbeat inspiring anthem that's not about serfdom and accepting our lot in life under the heels of those born better than us.

Baroness - she's sold her soul so she has to say that.

London and the south east account for 40% of the UKs GDP.

The Royal family via tourism to their land and castles account for about £19billion a year to the UK.
