Chris Loader, the Dorset West MP, has written a letter to the Daily Torygraph complaining about the BBC’s decision to play an instrumental only version of ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ and ‘Rule Britannia’ at the Last Night of the Proms.
Whatever one thinks of the lyrics of these songs there is a much deeper conversation to be had that the Establishment seem very reluctant to have.
Lets us take a look at the lyrics they so want to hear:
Land of Hope and Glory
Mother of the Free
How shall we extol thee
Who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider
Shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty
Make thee mightier yet!
Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned
God make thee mightier yet!
On Sov’ran brows, beloved, renowned
Once more thy crown is set
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained
Have ruled thee well and long;
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained
Thine Empire shall be strong
Thy fame is ancient as the days
As Ocean large and wide:
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise
A stern and silent pride
Not that false joy that dreams content
With what our sires have won;
The blood a hero sire hath spent
Still nerves a hero son
And
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
When Britain first, at heaven’s command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And Guardian Angels sang this strain:
(Chorus)
The nations not so blest as thee
Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish great and free:
The dread and envy of them all.
(Chorus)
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke,
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native oak.
(Chorus)
Thee haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame,
But work their woe and thy renown.
(Chorus)
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine;
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles, thine.
(Chorus)
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coasts repair.
Blest isle! with matchless beauty crowned,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
(Chorus)
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
If ever there were outdated songs for the 21st century these are they. A nation in which only a minority celebrate a God and a nation that is still getting over it’s manifestly vile history of entrapping other human beings in to subjugation and bondage. Not to mention the rape and murder of so many. Only psychopaths and sociopaths would seek to continue such a celebration.
And it must be noted what the composer Edward Elgar felt about Land of Hope…:
‘Elgar wrote and hated Land of Hope and GloryÂ
Musical genius Elgar hated the nationalistic Land of Hope and Glory Elgar’s famous composition was instantly dismissed by some as ‘cheap’ and ‘unworthy’. But it was a huge success at the Proms, where crowds rose and yelled and demanded it be played three times.’ (The Independent)
Then there is the BBC agenda. This is about attacking the BBC to make it look ‘left wing’. Only those with serious cerebral dysfunction would believe this. It is no coincidence that the notoriously right wing The Sun is also running this propaganda at the moment

as well as other drip drips in to the consciousnesses of the most pliable members of the population.
This is all part of the organised hegemony to help people live a lie.
However, one thing these establishment stooges refuse to challenge is the monster glaring back at them from history. The psychotic nature of the UK’s past and the profiteering of those who seek to distract us. The ancestors of these human traffickers and murderous swine do not want the conversation of the nation to turn on them. Thus it becomes the time for populist zeal of the plasticine demographic.
Chris Loader and his letter signing cohorts are merely part of the drip drip propagandising in an attempt to manipulate. We know their game, they have been playing it for a long time.
How about promoting a critical discussion of this for a change?
And this:
Cruel Britannia—the bloody truth about the British Empire
Let us deal with what actually happened and let the public deal with the facts. It is worth remembering that if the establishment were open to this they would not be cognitively compromised in to their devious and cynical games.
Lastly, this topic reminds me of this song from the 1980’s. Perhaps we should substitute ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ for something much more realistic:
