"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992
The history of this is that for decades Scottish fans would boo the British national anthem when it was played before football matches partly because many wanted Independence but also because in the same way the US anthem has a verse about slavery, there is a later verse about crushing the Scots. They replaced it with Scotland the Brave but no one knows the words so they changed it to Flower of Scotland.
The problem with it is it's slow and plodding and not always very inspiring and some people think the words are overly anti England instead of being more upbeat.
