    Rude & immature my ****.

    Check out the lyrics to Rule Britannia. The Brits will die before letting themselves be ruled over by another country but its OK if they 'rule' us according to them. I say it's time we told them to get lost we can look after ourselves & get rid of that ****** union jack from the Australian flag for a start.

    James Thomson, 1740 (1700-1748)
    When Britain first— at Heaven's command
    Arose— from out the azure main
    Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main
    This was the charter,
    The charter of the land,
    And guardian angels sung this strain:

    Refrain:
    Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves,
    Britons never never never shall be slaves.

    The nations, not— so blest as thee,
    Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall:
    Must in, must in, must in their turns to tyrants fall.
    While thou shalt flourish,
    Shalt flourish great and free,
    The dread and envy of them all.
    Refrain:

    Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
    More dreadful, from each foreign stroke:
    More dreadful, dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke.
    As the loud blast,
    The blast that tears the skies,
    Serves but to root thy native oak.
    Refrain:

    Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
    All their attempts to bend thee down,
    All their, all their, all their attempts to bend thee down
    Will but arouse thy,
    Arouse thy generous flame;
    But work their woe, and thy renown.
    Refrain:

    To thee belongs the rural reign;
    Thy cities— shall with commerce shine:
    Thy cities, cities, cities shall with commerce shine
    All thine shall be the,
    Shall be the subject main,
    And every shore it circles thine.
    Refrain:

    The Muses, still with freedom found,
    Shall to— thy happy coast repair:
    Shall to, shall to, shall to thy happy coast repair
    Blest isle! with matchless,
    With matchless beauty crown'd,
    And manly hearts to guard the fair.
    Refrain:

    Jacobite version
    Britannia, rouse at Heav'n's command!
    And crown thy native Prince again;
    Then Peace shall bless thy happy land,
    And plenty pour in from the rnain:
    Then shalt thou be - Britannia, thou shalt be
    From home and foreign tyrants free.





    Behold, great Charles! thy godlike son,
    With majesty and sweetness crowned;
    His worth th'admiring world doth own,
    And fame's loud trump proclaims the sound.
    Thy captain him, Britannia, him declare.
    Of kings and heroes he's the heir.


    Then, Britons, rouse! with trurnpets' sound
    Proclaim this solemn, happy day'.
    Let mirth with cheerful music crowned
    Drive sullen thoughts and cares away!
    Come, Britons, sing! Britannia, draw thy sword!
    And use it for thy rightful lord!
