How petty it becomes eh esp when it is very clear that a huge chunk of the population don't support a Royal Family and the hugely obscene amounts of money (plus public money thrown in!) attached to the whole institution! I'm sure Charlie and Craig Reid won't lose any sleep at all re such a crass decision coming from lickspittle officials of the House of Windsor. The boys had no time for them anyway and explained precisely why they felt that way and also why Scotland has to be an independent country well away from the whole concept of Brit govt interference, being bullied by govts Scots don't vote for, and the Brit establishment/govt impudently "ripping off" Scotland for generations!!
Out of curiosity why on earth would The Proclaimers even be on the coronation playlist in the first place? Its like say Gary Glitter is off it as well, when the reality is they were never remotely near it in the first instance!! Surely this is just a shit stirring story by someone!!
Besides, Charles ain't ever walking 500 miles anywhere, he has trains, planes and automobiles at his disposal to do that for him!!
It looks like it came from a BBC Radio Scotland news report. Note the Proclaimers not invited, but their music (like eg 500 miles) originally on the playlist with lots of other well known musical numbers until some Royal censor was brought on board to cull it. Call it BBC shit-stirring then!! Petty all the same.
