The National Anthem.

I was thinking more along the lines of, "When the Revolution comes" mon ami.

Attachment 25392

BT, I heard that the Secret Service are already aware of the Revolutionaries and that they have been telling the bizzies to make early morning calls on suspects. Do you know anything about that?

K-C I always thought Jerusalem had something going for it, ( the holy city!). Yes, its immovable ! What is? ''The ladder ''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status...and_Bethlehem)

The Status Quo is an understanding among religious communities with respect to nine shared religious sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
Other holy places in Israel and Palestine were not deemed subject to the Status Quo, because the authorities of one religion or community within a religion are in recognized or effective possession of them.

It was apt for the times BT... When Blake wrote the poem in 1804 during the Industrial Revolution, to
1916 when it was put to music at the height of WW1....
I think a more up to date Anthem for the 21 century to mirror the mood and asperations of the Ruling Classes
would be "Money" by Pink Floyd:-

Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star, daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money
Get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bull****
I'm in the high-fidelity first-class traveling section
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money
It's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise that they're giving none away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

I recall once discussing this issue in a Church group and we all concluded the song had multiple interpretations Sir Chas, but I'm more than happy to be truly enlightened.

The words are a reference to the legend that Jesus spent his youth in England in the company of Joseph of Arimathea

I concluded that if Jesus ever returned to the United Kingdom His light would shine and illuminate the lives of all of the wretched souls trapped into working for a pittance in the "dark satanic mills" of the Industrial Revolution. Just saying.

If you could be honest for once, tell us how many pits Wilson's Labour government closed and how many St Margaret closed. I know you won't, I know you'll continue to bluff and bluster. because Wislon closed more pits than St Margaret ever did. FACT, end of.
