Me too. Disgraceful anthem and nothing whatsoever to do with Wales.
Don't you want god to save the queen?
Does she need saving?
Why would they sing the song unless she was in some sort of peril that only the almighty could solve?
As she is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England you would have thought that he wouldn't need prompting.
Didn't the English adopt the Birdy Song as their anthem some time in the 1980s? Much more appropriate than God, Queen and crushing the rebellious Scots.
Always worth a squint at.

Billy Connolly.
I think this has come up before - but why are 'we' competing as GB or Team GB?
In some medal tables it says GB and Northern Ireland.
Why not the UK?
Is the Isle of Man going it alone?
You piqued my interest with that question so I looked it up:
The British Olympic Committee has rejected calls for the nickname to be changed to Team UK, arguing that neither Team GB nor Team UK are entirely accurate given that neither term covers all the members of its association, and that Team GB is an "effective trading name that fitted best with the Olympic identification of GBR".

Not sure if it even answers the question though.
