[Catmom]

Britain is finished.

They ignored Churchill til they were on the verge of being overrun by the Nazis, but...

They hadn’t yet committed cultural suicide. They were still proud to be British and wouldn’t let anyone overrun their country without a fight.

Now they just don’t seem to care.

[the scotsman]

No, Britain is not finished, far from it. We’ve been getting written off since 1815.

[Albion Wilde]

Britain is finished. They ignored Churchill til they were on the verge of being overrun by the Nazis, but... They hadn’t yet committed cultural suicide. They were still proud to be British and wouldn’t let anyone overrun their country without a fight. Now they just don’t seem to care.

Rule, Britannia!
Lyrics

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

When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And Guardian Angels sang this strain:

(Chorus)

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

Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coasts repair.
Blest isle! with matchless beauty crowned,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.

(Chorus)
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
