The Crusade Gains Adherents.

An Englishman’s Castle and EU-serf join the crusade. Tim also provides us (damn, I should have thought of that) with the hymn that we shall be singing as we descend upon Brussels, smiting the unrighteous, to reclaim the freedoms that are the God given rights of those who have won in the lottery of life by being born an Englishman:

AND did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

William Blake, Music by Parry.

For a midi recording try here.
A small note, the European Union thinks that England should not exist, that it should be broken into a number of regions.
Ceterum censeo Consilium Europaeum esse delendam

  1. Thx for the addition to the blogroll. As you may have noticed the Samizdatistas have an update on the case of Hans Martin Tillack. Its interesting to see how that compares with the Judith Miller case in the US and it is of course yet another reason why Consilium Europaeum delenda est.

    There’s a school of thought which states “Jerusalem” is some sort of socialist anthem.
    The words do seem to support it in places.
    Just thought you’d like to know.
    Tim adds: I have no problem with the aims of socialism, the desire to create a better world. I have a lot of problems with the creed’s delineations of the problems and their attempted solutions. Anyway, how socialist can it be if the Women’s Instutute belts it out?

  3. I suspect that we’re more likely to conform to Chesterton’s ‘The Secret People’ (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~martinh/poems/SECRET).
