   Serious question: when the queen dies and we commonwealth types now all have a king again, does Britain have an act of parliament to change the lyrics to the national anthem? Or is there a law already that says “we switch automagically upon X”?

     @Sophistifunk Queens birthday holiday was just called Kings birthday weekend the other week.

     Also, the National anthem we played in the Royal New Zealand Navy was God save the Queen, when we raised the flag, it fits in 16 seconds.

     @DazzaNZ @Sophistifunk surely the national anthem was around before QE2. It was probably originally God Save the King anyway.

     @ned @DazzaNZ yes of course. I just want to know if there’s a standing law declaring that it changes automagically or they have to amend some shit every few decades. Given the shenanigans it required to remove the word “young” from our shithouse anthem as if that will suddenly appease the blackfellas there’s no way the uk anthem just changes because people feel like it.

     @Sophistifunk @DazzaNZ what, they removed a word? What the hell did they replace it with? And why didn't they get rid of "girt" instead?

     @ned @DazzaNZ we can’t be “young” because apparently the song isn’t about Australia the nation that is 120 years old, because fucking white guilt and whinging tent embassies mean words have no meanings only grievance matters.

     @ned @Sophistifunk

     Yeah, that's a yucky sounding word, and should not be used in a song.

     I found random God Save the Queen! in legislation.
