OK Hovagod. I won't use Internet terms. What terms shall I use? Ones that allow a certain person, with a certain point, get away with talking shite, without being offended?

I'm sure something with a nice balance could be done at SJP that's respectful without being over the top.

Can't have anything normal these days without the virtue signalling brigade rock up to tell you what you didn't know about British history. Are you volunteering to gather the union jacks for the event? A bit more to it than a doff of a cap, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the most middle of the road opinion possible. The more I think on it the more I want Wor Flags to steer well clear. It’s not worth the arse ache. It’ll be out of mind by the time we play Brentford. Leave that shite to Rangers. It's middle of the road for N-O, not for Britain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think if you can't have a conversation about the royal family without mentioning something that happened a long time ago, you are almost certainly virtue signalling. The funny thing about history is that good AND bad things happened. It's a hard concept to grasp. Howay man.

The other consideration - unmentioned so far I think - is some stadium-wide activity backfiring because some fans get pissed off with those who aren’t minded to take part.

Using the general population's opinion as a sample, though, it'd definitely be angled towards what christ said. Dunno how many others are like me, but I don't sing the national anthem anyway. It's not particularly the monarchist aspect but the religious element. It's a glorified hymn and I'm not a Christian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
