A man's a man for all that...

Could we perhaps get this trending on x tomorrow?

Nice one, Dumbo12.
Burns, baby, Burns!

Can you report someone for a NCHI if they've been dead for over 200 years?

If the new law makes the national poets words into a hate crime, that may peak a few people!

😁
What about the video of it being sung at the opening of the Scottish Parliament? 🤣

Or better yet with a photo of those leggings 🤢

Well, they dug up Cromwell's body for a posthumous execution so why not Burns too?

Given the practice of transing the dead, I'd certainly think someone might give it a solid attempt.

There's some good lines in that song:

Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for a’ that,
That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth
Shall bear the gree an’ a’ that.

I love it actually.

I don't know about anybody else, but I have never listened to an old folk song talking about 'brothers' or even 'men' and thought it didn't include me! For me, in a context like this, man, men, brothers - this surely means mankind, ie everyone?

Please let's not queer folk music (yes, I know people are already doing it 🙄) (probably deserves its own thread, had I the time/energy...)

For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
It’s comin yet for a’ that,
That Man to Man the warld o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that.

The sentiment in those last 2 lines is so strong and true. He means all of us.

Is that this one?

It must be this one!

Solidarity with Scottish feminists and apologies to Burns

Should auld transphobia be forgot
And never brought to mind
And all deadnaming must be stopped
Because it is a crime

Obey the Hate Crime Act, my dear
The men will be just fine
I'll bake a cake With a file inside
For when JK does time

You have no rights in Scotland now
You'll have to just “be kind”
We'll take a cup of kindness when
Humza Yousef has resigned

I like it, @Anonymousthoughtcriminal

That's the one!

@Anonymousthoughtcriminal That is brilliant
