"To say that it should be dropped because 20% are republicans is pointless."

I'd actually agree though Republicanism is only one reason people may not like the said anthem. The point I was making was not that it should be banned as the National Anthem but that people shouldn't be publicly pilloried for not singing it. ie That people shouldn't be pressurised into singing it. Not that anyone seemed to mind the fact that Wiggo didn't sing it yesterday. As said before it is just a stick which certain sections of the media have decided to bash Scots (and now the Welsh too) with.
