Dull?

Out of date?

Maybe.

Yeah I'd say it's dull and possibly out dated, I don't sing it, I don't like it but offensive?

Your thoughts?

They are like catnip to you these things aren't they.

 

Absolute non-story.  The only 'outrage' and 'backlash'  come from morons not even involved in it, not even at the university and over reactors the paper whips up into a froth. Absolutely pathetic.

 

There's not a single piece of evidence that said it was banned because it was offensive. One  student interview by the sun "thinks" "probably" "might have" They didn't know.  They weren't there. They didn't make the decision. They just took of uncorrobarted assumptions but hey that's tabloid journalism. 

 

What is accurate is that a healthy number of students didn't want a national anthem to be part of their graduation ceremony because they deemed the old fashioned and irrelevant and that's entirely their choice.   

 

Personally, I don't really see the connection between a graduation ceremony and the national anthem anyway.  It's not a royal event, It's not an event of national importance. It's not a military parade. It's not a national tournament being played out in a global stage between nations.

 

Move along people. Nothing to see here again.

A non story yet you couldn't help but post on the thread.

Youre just another Sheffield Forum Muppet who likes to criticise for the hell of it 🤣

I’ve been to graduations in Durham, Glasgow and Nottingham recently.

 

None of them played the national anthem.

 

Why would they?

Typical, woke ******.

I find it a bit dull and outdated but this seems like another step towards gradually eroding our cultural identity, history and heritage to pander to people who want to come and live here but hate everything about those 3 things.
