Really-perhaps you know what you mean to say but clearly don't have the ability to write it.

if something was forced upon you do you embrace it?

i bet youve****ing slagged off work tax in the past. idiot

I despise those who are handed wealth and power without working for it. I'm also a huge atheist.

Fairly simple why I boo it, and will continue to do so with passion.

Can you reply using English as I have no idea what you are trying to say?

I have never booed GSTQ, but I never sing it and I refuse to stand up for it when it's played.

That has been difficult in some places where I have been alone or one of only a handful of people not to conform - including the Sheffield Arena for a Steelers v Devils match where 2,000+ were doing the whole imported American razzmatazz thing at the start (including all standing up for GSTQ before the teams came on the ice) and some concerts (e.g. Bridgewater Hall in Manchester where my cousin's lad was part of a Welsh youth orchestra and the evening started with GSTQ and the whole audience - bar 2 of us - stood and sang).

I have never been back to the ice hockey because i don't want to repeat the experience (and some intimidation) of that first time.

However it is getting a bit easier for atheist republicans - the weight of conformity (especially around God and Queen) has eased since I walked out of church (Congregationalist) and the boy scouts aged 12!
