The mealy mouthed Woke are terrible people.

Jerusalem is the unofficial national anthem of England.

It is a disgrace that the heathen wogs are allowed to dictate to the native Britons.

[Srednik]

Mankind is finished if folk to not have the right to their own opinions and beliefs — even those of the past.

Being kept uninformed as to which “woke” students were being upset by Parry, and which individuals specifically are acting to “cancel” him, one should recall that any with positive sentiments to the religion of Islam should observe that Christians and Jews are pigs and dogs and “the worst of creatures.” Those with any allegiance to Marx should remember that Marx made racist remarks including using the “n” word. One should also recall that Debussy's piano work, “Le petit nègre” and the use of the little black servant at the end of Strauss’ Rosenkavalier not to mention Mozart's Monostatos character in Die Zauberflöte all may be attacked in similar manner and with similar methods. When classical music, Karl Marx and the Koran can be lumped together as offensive, that which remains not offensive will become an ever shorted list. And the snake eats its own tail. Being “woke” offends, is racist and antisemitic and so much more.

Happy New Year to those who still find happiness not to offend others.

Like today’s brain-dead effing retard “students” actually had enough education to know who the guy was...

Underneath the poem is the suggestion that Jesus brought Christianity to England, to enlighten and counter the ancient pagan religion of Celtic peoples, roughly AD 20-25, the, “Dark Satanic Mills”, that was referred to at the end of the first verse. A little bit of English mysticism… That the hope by Blake, and by extension, Parry for the Christian future of England.

That what the woke snowflake Communist “students” call racist.

[Fiji Hill]

Parry also wrote a melody for the hymn “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind,” although not the melody most of us are familiar with. The lyrics were written by John Greenleaf Whittier, a fiery abolitionist.

[Fiji Hill]

If they’re cancelling Parry, then why the hell don’t they cancel Karl Marx, a racist who even used the “N” word?

Jerusalem is the unofficial national anthem of England.

That seems odd.   I've heard "God Save The King" more times than anyone could count, but I have never heard a song called "Jerusalem."
