Aye, thanks for that Mel Gibson. 

"Rebellious Scots to crush" comes from the 6th verse of the British national anthem. It mentions Marshall Wade and is therefore obviously about the 1745 Jocobite uprising, not about William Wallace (portrayed by Mel Gibson on film). Please amend your belittlement accordingly, lest you appear uneducated.

Away and play on the motorway. 

I hope this helps. 😴😴😴

That verse has now been officially removed as of September 2022.

Does that suffice? 

 

I thought I had heard something about it being removed but I couldn't find anything.  The only thing I could find was that it had been looked at about a decade ago but they decided to leave it alone.  According to that piece, it looked like Parliament would have the say on whether it was changed, not Buck House, so I don't know how "official" that editing of the lyrics is.  On the other hand, this says there is "no authorised version of the National Anthem as the words are a matter of tradition", so who knows.

Russian German Wales are top class England's is up there as one of the worse, Flower of Scotland is not a lot better to me, but for some reason it's very popular with others and not just in this country.

Personal choice of course, 

Faraway loves God save the King/Queen one of his neighbours told me he can often be heard singing it in his man cave. and still belts out the 6th verse {officially removed my arse}

Herr list of acheivements was quite something and she only really git started on that.  Noticeable that the cameras panning around the debating chamber failed to pick up the conservative benches as they recorded the ovation.  Douglas Ross is one of the worst losers ever to occupy a political position

This could be a friend of Phoebe and potentially a future Deputy Prime Minister.

I thought it was quite unusual for a paper to put its April Fool story on its front page.

Whereas the attention Jacob's anus would have received in school would have stretched it out to a more than comfortable level
