A Welsh councillor who posted a Facebook post featuring a song called "Kill the King" says it was not intended to be anti monarchy. Dave Jones, who represents the Glyn-y-Marl ward in Llandudno Junction came under fire from angry royalists when he posted the song by rock band Rainbow onto his personal Facebook account, reports North Wales Live.
The Labour councillor posted the song onto his Facebook "story" on Thursday alongside a photo of Conwy Castle - five days after King Charles III was crowned. Cllr Jones said Facebook then automatically added the song’s lyrics to the post, which has since been removed.
The lyrics added by Facebook read: "Kill the King, Tear Him Down, Kill the King, yeah, Strike him Down." Cllr Jones’ post was shared on Twitter by an angry constituent, who tagged in Labour leader Keir Starmer in the tweet.
