My husband doesn't believe in any of that. He's a scouser born and bred but he never holds to that "Scouse not English". In fact, he always says to me "Where is Liverpool, then? What country is it in, for fuck's sake? We're English!"

i'm pretty sure that liverpool was the capital of north wales in the 1500's.
the mayor in the early 1500's was one darydd ap gruffydd.

although it changed with the later influx of irish people,
the scouse accent has many similarities to welsh.

My husband is a scouser and a Liverpool supporter. He doesn't himself boo the anthem but he has a lot of friends who do because Liverpool people were treated like shite by the South for so many years. Thatcher, the government, etc. Hillsborough cover-up didn't help. He believes a Southern team may have gotten justice a lot sooner. It's not really aimed directly at the Monarchy, more the establishment, if that makes sense.

does your husband know you are talking about him on here?
can he not speak for himself?

summat doesn't smell quite right.

I think there is equal welsh diaspora in Liverpool.that idiot Tony Wvans trying to portray Liverpool as a City hugely populated with Irish and were welcomed is plain wrong. A lot of Irish hot footed quick out of Liverpool when they realised that protestant dock unions were not so welcoming (my grandad for one!) And many found a better home 30 odd miles up the East Lancs Rd

Evans...Welsh ancestry surely?
 
Liverpool had this welcome for the Irish:

Liverpool Protestant Party - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

Until the mid-1950s, the city was the nearest thing to Belfast (or Glasgow) in England.

In fairness, sectarianism was not exactly unknown in Manchester either, but I think you would have to go back at least 20-30 years earlier to find a time when it was significant.

They're just wonderful images that last a lifetime. The iconic imagery of 1966 has and will stand the test of time. People dressed and behaving respectably, virtually no advertising, no stupid haircuts or tattoos and all of the attention drawn to the playing area. I reckon I could look at a photo from any World Cup that took place between 1966 and 1998 and put it in its time and place. Nowadays, everything is so saturated that it's stopped being iconic. England winning the World Cup in 1966 will never be surpassed if they won it again. The 1966 triumph almost came to define an era in British life. We can all picture Bobby Moore being raised by his teammates. Were it to happen now, it would simply be a team winning a football tournament.

Up to '98 are you sure? '72 maybe

Did he really sign up for the queen? or to see the world, learn a trade have a laugh, protect mates? just a genuine question i think all the above aside from queenie is fair. I mean tbh they wouldn't put your dad out f he was on fire tbh, his mates would. Maybe he would have ran around protected an unelected extremely wealthy lady but then again maybe not

What gets me is that soldiers sign up to fight for the queen or king and then as soon as they get wounded or injured, so that they’re of no use to them, they get discharged.
Then they suffer in poverty and it’s us who have to put our hands in our pockets to look after them in charity while the tax dodging £billionaire royals look the other way.

Exactly that they kid the yoof when signi g up, dutythis proud, doing something brave for others. If only the yoof realised that the establishment have so much contempt for them
 
Here we go, complaining again.

When will the Spirit of Shankly ever give up?

Abdication of leadership by Premier League and Liverpool FC​


The club were left in a near-impossible situation. There was no mandate from the Premier League, just a “strong ‘suggestion” to play the anthem, and they must bear responsibility too. They are part of a working group to tackle tragedy chanting and have now potentially destroyed the good work done to this point by capitulating to pressure from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport with their “suggestion”.

How to stop 'tragedy chanting' 101.

Stop causing the bloody things.

This post has nothing to do with Hillsborough for the record, it's about Heysel.
