Let's be clear I'm not a Labour supporter but it seems to me that Corbyn can't win here re the media. He'll get slammed whatever. Just several days ago the issue was him being the hypocrite for swearing an oath to the monarch when everyone knows he is a republican. Of course to be accepted on to the Privy Council you need to swear said oath just as you need to swear an oath to the monarch when becoming an MP. Now he is slammed for not singing the monarchist anthem when everyone knows he is a republican. Surely it is a personal choice as to whether you sing, lipsync or stand in quiet respect? If people are bullied into singing the anthem then the anthem is surely reduced - as singing it is not a sign of respect etc but just something that you must conform to doing!
