The Welsh need a lesson in respect.

On Saturday we had the FA cup final and Cardiff were playing. Which was cool. They deserved to be there. Now the FA cup is an English competition and Cardiff, although a Welsh team, choose to play in it. Every year before the game the British National Anthen is played, God Save the Queen. Now as this is the British National Anthem and not the English anthem this should have sufficed.

But somebody somewhere decided it would be polite or something to play the Welsh anthem as well. So some English supporters booed while it was being played. Mainly because of the god awful noise the so called singer was making. She proved once and for all that the Welsh cannot sing and their attempts are on par with their previous attempts to run a coal mining industry! So when the British anthem was played the Welsh section of the crowd decided to boo! Yes they booed the British National Anthem!

Now last time I looked at the amount of English taxpayers money the Welsh are quite happily pocketing Wales was part of Great Britain. A minor part I admit but a part just the same. But it seems that they are not happy with that. They want to use their ancient language, they want their own government and they want to be independant.

Fine. get on with it. Start by not taking any more of our taxes. Give up your free prescriptions, payed for by the English even though we don't get them. Set up your own health system, education system etc. Police your own borders and set up your own anti terrorist forces. Be independant but do it without our money. While you are getting started we can use some of the billions of pounds we would save by not having you lot poncing off of us to set up our own customs patrols along the Welsh border to stop the hundreds of thousands of starving refugees pouring out of the valleys.

But until that happens you are part of Great Britain, like it or not and when the British National Anthem is played don't disrespect it. Because it is your anthem as well.
