We should be standing up to these fascist murdering scum in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola wants a republic, she would offer vote to the public after betty dies. she is a republican , Alec was more of a monarchist She was representing Scotland on official duty , she had no choice but to sing. I dont know what i would do if i was in her place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of Yermaw Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 has anyone noticed that those who tend to routinely use the word "scum" tend to share similar character traits despite them often having polarised views......

Marky Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's the anthem of England/NI at spurting events and UK. Not Scotland. It is if you're Andy Murray, or Liz McColgan, or Chris Hoy etc etc. Personally I feckin hate the dirge and wouldn't sing it under any circumstances, but let's not lose sight of the facts.

If you want to attend parliament there is no choice not to swear fealty to the monarch - hence the absence of Sinn Fein from Westminster.

neilser Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's fecking scandalous - there should be an alternative oath for elected representatives who'd prefer a republic. Why should they have to lie or go against their principles or even not take up their seat? There are only about 30 monarchies in the world with all the other countries being republics, so it's not as if it's a totally wacky system for running a country.
