			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight is Burn&#8217;s Night. I won&#8217;t be participating in the drinking, but some haggis is bound to be ingested.</p>
<p><em>Scots Wha Hae</em> is Bruce&#8217;s call to his men before the start of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, but it is just as relevant today. Just replace &#8216;Scots&#8217; with &#8216;Brits&#8217; and sing about our traitorous government in cahoots with the EU. I think even Burns would approve of that.</p>
<p>Set to the tune &#8220;Hey Tuttie Tatie&#8221; an age old marching tune from medieval times.</p>

<p>Scots, wha hae wi&#8217; Wallace bled,<br />
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,<br />
Welcome to your gory bed<br />
Or to victorie!</p>
<p>Now&#8217;s the day, and now&#8217;s the hour:<br />
See the front o&#8217; battle lour,<br />
See approach proud Edward&#8217;s power -<br />
Chains and slaverie!</p>
<p>Wha will be a traitor knave?<br />
Wha will fill a coward&#8217;s grave?<br />
Wha sae base as be a slave? -<br />
Let him turn, and flee!</p>
<p>Wha for Scotland&#8217;s King and Law<br />
Freedom&#8217;s sword will strongly draw,<br />
Freeman stand or freeman fa&#8217;,<br />
Let him follow me!</p>
<p>By oppression&#8217;s woes and pains,<br />
By your sons in servile chains,<br />
We will drain our dearest veins<br />
But they shall be free!</p>
<p>Lay the proud usurpers low!<br />
Tyrants fall in every foe!<br />
Liberty&#8217;s in every blow!<br />
Let us do or dee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a big numpty frae Fife,<br />
Who brought to the country much strife,<br />
The people said &#8216;Go&#8217;,<br />
But Gordon said &#8216;No&#8217;,<br />
I&#8217;m your Dear Leader for life.</p>
<p>His colleagues in turn stuck the knife in,<br />
Not for our good; for their own skin,<br />
Now fifteen percent,<br />
For a party so bent,<br />
Means the people deserve an election.</p>
<p>Of the General type we require,<br />
To consign ZaNuLab to the fire,<br />
That they no more will reign,<br />
To cause so much pain,<br />
And inflict on us all of their ire.</p>
<p>Traitors are selling us out without blinking,<br />
Many still vote the same way without thinking,<br />
The people must wake,<br />
And see what&#8217;s at stake,<br />
Or Britain will never stop sinking.</p>
<p>The global elites want a One World State,<br />
&#8216;Environment&#8217; issues and &#8216;peace&#8217; are the bait,<br />
To give up our land,<br />
To this Satanic band,<br />
Who don&#8217;t have an interest in Britain being Great.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s fight for this country, it&#8217;s OURS don&#8217;t you know?<br />
Our fathers shed blood that our children might grow,<br />
With honour and pride,<br />
And with God on their side,<br />
To never surrender these Islands to foes.</p>
