ParisInAKilt Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I suspect the SNP would be publicly anti monarchy is they thought the majority of Scotland agreed with them. Back to Corbyn, the media reaction has been predictably disgusting and isn't even worth giving any notice. Utter s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's a ridiculous anthem. I would never sing it. Being an atheist, republican,, it literally means nothing to me. J Same. I also don't actually know the words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Nicola Sturgeon told me in Beith that she favours Neoliberal economics from her own mouth... Many on here doubt this despite evidence to the contrary.) Is that a verbatim account of is it your interpretation of what she said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's a ridiculous anthem. I would never sing it. Being an atheist, republican, Scottish Nationalist, it literally means nothing to me. J Being a Christian, republican, Scottish Nationalist it means nothing to me either. I've been on the planet half a century, never sung it, never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Pathetic interview from Laura Keunnnnssberg there... "Will you kneel before the Queen? Will you? Will you? Will you???" Saw that and thought the same. Because he said he'd have to think about it, she (twice) said "so that's a no then?". Talk about putting words into someone's mouth. Very poor IMO.

Topcat Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Pathetic interview from Laura Keunnnnssberg there... "Will you kneel before the Queen? Will you? Will you? Will you???" I saw this as well - rounding off a disturbing day of establishment reporting on Corbyn which included one TV hack giving us a run down this morning on what he was wearing whilst another commenting on PMQ's mentioned that it was difficult to see beyond his beard Koeennigzeg-zeg-zeggggg's interview was a complete and utter embarrassment - and an affront to decent journalism - and she's apparently a Jags fan too. Seen this standard of reporting before .... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Just as well Kuenssberg wasn't around 70 odd years ago: 'Nice to meet you Mr Gandhi. I'll ask about your role in gaining independence for India through a process of non violent civil disobedience later, but I'd firstly like to ask you about your nappy and flip flops. Do you not think you'd be taken more seriously if you wore a nice tie?' Edited September 16, 2015 by neilser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Whether folk sing an anthem shouldn't even be a discussion, it's ludicrous. Don't feed it. Tonight I saw him get asked, by some ITV burd, if he would kneel in front of Betty when he get made a member of the Privy Council. His reply was basically "What the fuk are you talking aboot you daft bint?" I hope he tells her where to stick her Privy Council - whatever that is.

It's the reality TV shit, is Corbyn going to do his Big Brother weekly task of singing and kneeling for the gratification of the masses? all rituals must be observed, such comfort in conformity.

EddardStark Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I would prefer if he didn't sing it. I understand his reasons. If he backtracks this will make his original stance seem unprincipled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the ludicrous world of Westminster politics, conforming is everything, integrity has to be suppressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Is that a verbatim account of is it your interpretation of what she said? She said she favours "a new liberal economic plan... That will put economic growth at the top of our agenda... While protecting vital services". It was in response to a question about why the SNP was committed to an independent Scotland having entry in the EU endangering public services... It didn't answer the question.

I believe the origin of the Privy Council is that it was a group of close advisers to the monarch whose main job it was to wipe their ar$e.

Ormond Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Both include an oath to the queen. 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.Didn't that Welsh lassie, head of Plaid Cymru get into bother referring to Mrs Windsor instead of the Queen?

Showing her the respect that anybody deserves by being called Mr or Mrs should have done. Personally, I prefer the term Scrounging Old Lizard.
