Will you be swearing allegiance to the king?

There’s a dwindling community who frequent a couple of pubs just yards from when my younger daughter lives. I’m actually quite interested in seeing how ridiculous they manage to be on the day.

(The Louden and the Bristol on Duke Street. Do an image search for the full nuttiness).
Oh my God well at least I can't say I wasn't warned
 
it is asking for a chorus of millions to shut out their windows "ballocks to Sausage fingers"

even giving a suggest time really :D
 
Are you sure?! In Orkney they made the kids march down the street with union jacks during the jubilee, I took my son out of school and we went to Sanday. I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't a bit of that in Lewis tbh. A quick glance on islandbook throws up: "Tha a h-uile duine aig Taigh Dhonnchaidh cho pròiseil gun deach duais Coronation Champion a bhuileachadh air Mary againn fhìn. Tha i làn airidh air gach moladh agus duais airson an obair air leth a tha i a’ dèanamh. " Which basically means "we're a bunch of bootlicking wankers out west as well, Horatio is right"

eta: you said Harris. Why can I not read today.......
He will be visiting Lewis as well, mind.
Aren’t they actually one island? But have distinct identities?
 
Ms A320 refused to swear to god when she went up from brownies to guides as she didn’t belive in god. The Tawnie Owl or whatever was also a real god botherer so wouldn’t let her be a proper guide. She did all the stuff and got badges and stuff but always had to stand to the side at special events.

It was ace.
They’re much more permissive these days then. Cos I was asked to stop coming to Cubs cos I told Akela I didn’t believe in God and didn’t think much of the Queen either.
The Cub Scouts’ loss, however, was Woodcraft Folk’s gain.
 
It’s excellent. I take it my Micheal Cain impression will suffice?
With an accent that good you will likely win a role in Get Carter 11 danny, a big money role, so you might need to disguise both your true accent and your politics! Also knowing the difference between a Geordie and a Yorkshire person may come in handy, something A380 clearly struggles with..
 
I don't think it applies north of the border as there’s already a line in the national anthem showing the Crown's intentions for the Scots

This is a common misconception. The anti-Jacobite "rebellious Scots to quell" verse was only very briefly used after 1745, and was never part of the anthem when it finally became official some 40 or 50 years later.

 
Love the "People's Coronation" thing...did you know dead liz was The Peoples Queen? They try this a lot. interesting cooption of socialist language
Thinking about this, this probab;ly started with Diana's death where she got dubbed The Peoples Princess.
Fuck me look who came up with it - Tony Blair
Problem is the implication was The People didnt feel that way about the rest of the royalty, so this needed changing, hence The People's Coronation, The Peoples Queen etc

Check this out - everyone has to file past this coming into Gatwick

Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm.. Alarm..

You only get the use of your smartphone back if you swear allegiance to king Charles

Your options:

<I chose alliegiance>
FFS We do not live in a techno dystopia....
Just get the cubs to make a list

Who's talking about quelling? The only way to show true allegiance is to crush them

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
