It was the Scottish minister and may have something to do with verse 6 of the National Anthem. "Lord grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God Save the King."
That verse was added years later and has rarely been sung in the last three centuries. And in fact there was only a period of three months that this may have been sung (in 1745!) as Wade stepped down soon after and was replaced. It's important to note even within Scotland, there was considerable opposition to the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie.
From the Royal Website: "There is no authorised version of the National Anthem as the words are a matter of tradition. Additional verses have been added down the years, but these are rarely used."
The national anthem is pretty rubbish. I wish it could be changed.
for a brief time between maybe the ages of 20 and 24, William was extremely handsome.
Yet it was there at one point and many Scots won’t sing it because of that verse. Not singing God Save the King doesn’t disrespect the war dead, the songs not actually about them or the nation. Some people just don’t believe in invisible sky gods or kings so why sing a song about them?

Mark Drakeford swaggering? I can’t believe he even knows how. His whole personality is chapel minister.
Very chapel indeed

oh yes definitely the genes, not the access to the best healthcare money can provide, a wealth of countryside mansions to enjoy the outdoors and exercise, and the best food money can buy.
You are absolutely right but the King's father died in his 50's and her sister died in her70's so the money, mansions and the great outdoors doesn't necessarily mean you are going to live to a great age. They both smoked but all the healthcare money in the world didn't save them.
i mean, yeh there are limits to what healthcare can do if you are inhaling toxins on the reg. plus we were referring to Phillip and Elizabeth
that doesn’t negate the fact that they had access to the best, which probably explains why they lived to a nice ripe old age.
Having access to the best medical care including all kinds of health checks and preventative treatment has got to help a lot. If you still maintain bad eating and drinking habits though it can't work miracles.
It wasn't him. Some Scottish fellow
He reminds me of my geography teacher. Totally boring and bored with life look, with disheveled jacket and patches on the elbows.
He has no charisma but I think he tackled the lockdown situation far better than Boris.
He did, but that’s an extremely low bar. An untrained chimpanzee could have done a better job than Johnson.
I’ve met him several times. In person he’s very pleasant. He is excellent at public speaking; very clever, passionate and all without notes. He’s a very humble person.
Trying to imagine what Charles’s party was like last night. I don’t think he has ever really been a party animal. I expect it was mainly a meal and some speeches?
I don’t understand why Meghan and Harry keep airing out their business through Scobie. No wonder the vitriol against them and their kids has not died down.
