  1. If the students object to the National Anthem then when they apply for government or local government jobs or Government grants and research funding they should be rejected, I have worked for military, healthcare, civil service and other official positions and had to swear allegiance to the sovereign (and by inclusion the UK and its people) and sign the official secrets act at least 14 times. I take that oath and my loyalty to my homeland seriously, and stick by it, i would find people who object to the Anthem as being security risks, at the very least, and being disloyal by intention, just as i regard anyone who puts a theology or political bias before loyalty to the sovereign/nation for which the sovereign is the symbol, as being untrustworthy. My great uncle by marriage was a ww2 Serbian Royalist soldier who came here after ww2 worked hard, caused no trouble and became a British citizen by choice, and as loyal as anyone born here, I cannot say i see the same amongst many living amongst us now, right up to and including those in parliament and government's within the UK. Comments welcome.
