Will you be swearing allegiance to the king?

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

Yes, "crush" not "quell" (sorry for the misquote). But, returning to the actual point: in a short-lived, unofficial verse that was never adopted as part of the official anthem, contrary to what you have suggested earlier on this thread.

They get schoolchildren to recite a pledge of allegiance to a flag instead. Because that way, it's not at all ridiculous.

We love the Royals really and they love us according to this not at all sycophantic piece:

King Charles coronation: Does Scotland want its kilted king?

Charles is a king with his heart in the Highlands, but is Scotland ready to claim him as its own?

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

At an average of 0.2 minutes to recite 31 words, and a school year of 180 days, times a typical 12 years of education, equals 7.2 hours of continuous pledging per child. So a little less than a day-and-a-half of school time spent droning about indivisible Gods on repeat.

Is it? I thought it was so you could say elevator instead of lift and pronounce aluminium wrong.

It's a veritable bargain when you think about it really. :thumbs:
 
So to recap, the British People are called on to give a Homage of the People at the People's Coronation, to "their undoubted King, defender of all", heir to The Peoples Monarch and husband to the late Peoples Princess
Seems legit

My mother is leaving for a month in the Algarve tomorrow. It wasn’t deliberately timed to coincide, but I’m really very jealous.

Sorry as I am to disappoint the royals, I’m going to have to decline this invitation. It’s not in my nature to subordinate myself.
 
Arlene Foster will hopefully pop a fuse when she reads about this.

Other new elements include the king voicing aloud a specially written prayer; a hymn sung in English, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish in an acknowledgment of the “rich heritage” of the UK; and the participation of female Anglican bishops.
 
i'm still stuck on the Americanisation of language - you used to be able to rely upon language as a constant until the American empire thought it was its turn to dominate the world of lexicography ;) . we probably took a wrong turn after 1066, when court people still had the decency to speak French? Effing levverage for christsake:)

I wasn't aware there was any other way of pronouncing it. What's the "proper" :rolleyes: way? Leee-verridge?
 
Whilst walking back from the pub I was wondering what would actually make me able to swear allegiance to the brigand.

I suppose there would be a chance if he agreed to pay back dated tax for the last century for the whole lot of them, and paid back all the civil list stuff, and paid for my parents social care (that parents thought their lifelong NI conts covered). Then I might just think about it
