. . . if this was the winning song in the BBC Nationwide Jubilee Song Competition, just how bad were the others, I wonder?

Any post suggesting anything even slightly contrary to the jubilee risks instant removal. So give it your best shot...

I am a life-long republican. Although I have nothing against the royal family as individuals, I detest the atavistic imperial throwback that is the monarchy. The quicker is abolished, the better. And don't give me that garbage about American tourists...

The good thing about singing is that the Midlands accent isn’t projected.

God I didnt realise it was that terrible
catchy ripper like tune tho

I recollect Charlie-boy just not getting a break from the press ( and Anne ) and it didnt seem fair to the lickle fella - well portrayed in The Crown (*)

( unlike Diana whom they fawned over or Wills and Harry)

(*) I mean even his tutor told him he was a welsh nationalist. I would have said - in my chummy way that makes everyone like me: - so what you are here to teach me welsh and I am here to learn it

The Americans?
I love it when they come out with
and the Queen of England I tell my children has reigned for 70y !

Be careful, Jim. We seem to be in total agreement for once - and that would never do here, would it?

Yes, FI, Brummie probably isn't exactly the loveliest accent in the UK, I think ;-)

Might've sounded a tad better had the butcher stayed in his shop making chops.

It appears to have been cut short, I wonder why...?

Viewers probably referred Aunty Beeb to Article 7 of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, TCL:
“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”

There's a limit to how much viewers could take ;-)

Oh dear god. I couldn’t get it to play so I persevered. How I wish I hadn’t.
And yes, Jim. With you on American tourists. ;-)
