No it doesn't. It did once, but not for a long time.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

But doesn't contain it any more.

No, because the Germans borrowed the tune.

May I ask a source?

If you look history you would notice that England is something like a twin to imperial Germany. The Angels, Saxons and others came from Germany and therefore the British are still related to the Germans. All best what is England comes from Germany.

Except that it doesn't, that was an unofficial verse added hundreds of years ago and hardly used since. I prefer this one:

God save our land!
Home of the brave and free
Set in the silver sea
True nurse of chivalry

If you weren't rebellious then you wouldn't need to be crushed.


though one questions the difference between a rebellious scotsman and his natural state.
"We fought for the public good and would have enfranchised the people and secured the welfare of the whole groaning creation, if the nation had not more delighted in servitude than in freedom"

"My actions are as noble as my thoughts, That never relish’d of a base descent.I came unto your court for honour’s cause, And not to be a rebel to her state; And he that otherwise accounts of me, This sword shall prove he’s honour’s enemy."

If you look history you would notice that England is something like a twin to imperial Germany. The Angels, Saxons and others came from Germany and therefore the British are still related to the Germans. All best what is England comes from Germany.

And thus the Anglophobic sentiment pours fourth.
"Heil dir im Siegerkranz" (German for "Hail to Thee in Victor's Crown") was from 1871 to 1918 the unofficial national anthem of the German Empire. Previously, it had been the anthem of Prussia, the melody of the hymn derived from the British anthem "God Save the Queen".

We'd never add that verse in, would we? But I thought we hated the Scottish, and oppressed them at every opportunity?
