#AllSingLaMarseillaise Tuesday night at Wembley

[Peter Grummit]

Really, really glad the FA and FFA have confirmed this is going ahead.

Important that the Paris events don't stop life going on as normally as possible.

#AllSingLaMarseillaise is trending to show solidarity with the French. If you have a ticket, learn the words. If you don't, share the Hashtag on all social media.

Hate in whatever form will not get us out of this mess, solidarity is what matters.

[Wilko]

That will sound absolutely awesome.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Singing a song about taking up arms to fight an enemy invader.

The irony.

Oh. Yes. You have a very good point actually.

NOT a ditty for the faint-hearted

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts

To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

What do they want this horde of slaves
Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
For whom these vile chains
These long-prepared irons?
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
What methods must be taken?
It is us they dare plan
To return to the old slavery!

What! These foreign cohorts!
They would make laws in our courts!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our warrior sons
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
The vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of destiny

Tremble, tyrants and traitors
The shame of all good men
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will receive their just reward
Against you we are all soldiers
If they fall, our young heros
France will bear new ones
Ready to join the fight against you

Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors
Bear or hold back your blows
Spare these sad victims
That they regret taking up arms against us
But not these bloody despots
These accomplices of Bouillé
All these tigers who pitilessly
Ripped out their mothers' wombs

We too shall enlist
When our elders' time has come
To add to the list of deeds
Inscribed upon their tombs
We are much less jealous of surviving them
Than of sharing their coffins
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging or joining them

Drive on sacred patriotism
Support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished liberty
Join the struggle with your defenders
Under our flags, let victory
Hurry to your manly tone
So that in death your enemies
See your triumph and our glory!

If we want to show real solidarity with the French lobby your MP to vote to bomb ISIS in Syria like the French are.

What's wrong with a minutes silence ffs

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Wouldn't something a little more conciliatory be helpful in the current circumstances? Even Napoleon banned it.

Quite. This seems well meant but possibly not fully thought through?

Given that most Brighton Supporters struggle with Sussex by the Sea I have to say I don't hold out too much hope for England Football Fans nailing this...

As previously mentioned - how about an immaculately observed minutes silence?

Just don't signal the start of the silence by playing The Last Post.

Can't we just clap along or hum it ?

Doctors Without Borders v's Reinstatement of Borders?

 

[Wellesley]

That'll be lovely. I'll take my tambourine.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Doctors Without Borders v's Reinstatement of Borders?

Close but no cigar , both can help in preventing future suffering. As can supporting the French militarily.

 

[El Presidente]

How about 'Panic' by The Smiths, with Lily Allen leading the song?
