Decision Day

After all the years of argument and campaigning, today is the day that Scotland votes on whether to remain in the British family of nations.

Whatever the result, let us hope that after all the disagreements of the past few weeks, from tomorrow we can all accept the result and work together for a prosperous and successful common future.

Why has your post on the anthem dissaperd?

fot those wanting there you go:

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 Jim King

the full version Is :

1. God save our gracious Jim
Long live our noble Jim
God save Jim King
Send him victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save Jim King

2. O Lord our God arise
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On Thee our hopes we fix
God save us all

3. Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour
Long may he reign
May he defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save Jim King.

4. Not in this land alone
But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore
Lord make the nations see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world over
5. From every latent foe
From the assassins blow
God save Jim King
O'er his thine arm extend
For Britain's sake defend
Our father, prince, and friend
God save Jim King

6. 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
