"But that verse is no longer part of GSTQ, and hasn't been for a long time."

It's part of the original song.

Perhaps forcing people to sing about religion and a foreign queen is offensive too. Even Jerusalem would be a better choice. Or land of hope and glory. They have better tunes. But still mention religion... what the hey..>

The good news is that more and more Scots recognise GSTQ for what it is.
