I am preempting you hypocrisy. What might a UKIP protest be about out of interest?

I'm still waiting for an answer to my original question - should we scrap the playing of the National Anthems before sporting events - it only happens in some sports and seems to be more trouble than it is worth (not that it seems to have any worth).
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Put me down as a maybe. Im thinking if there were no anthems then no pesky protests can take place but they've got some nice tunes. I can't ever remember standing for the national anthem because the first word is God. That puts me right off straight away. Maybe if no one was allowed to sing I might stand.

I'd have to think twice before scrapping them for Internationals, but for other games, I'd be in favour. If a person's patriotism is so flimsy they need a contrived reminder every week, it's probably a lost cause.
