Sky news I think it is incredible, and sad. Just hearing they are likely to privatise C4, they have put a Tory donor as Director General of the BBC, government corruption and lying is blatant and un-challenged- they are trying to control the media completely. They are trying to push through a law to prevent "noisy" protests, which will give the Home Secretary the power to prevent demonstrations- ostensibly in response to the 'troublesome' demos for George Floyd and Sarah Everard. They have just published a report "blaming" poor black people for undermining poor white people (educationally). Now they're indoctrinating children with a "one nation" song, when no -one has done more that the Tories to break up and divide the UK. I think it is so sad what is happening to the UK.

Silver Posted June 22, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) We (the UK public) need to wake up to what is going on: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. MARTIN NIEMÖLLER: "FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS..."

I've just seen this on Twitter and YouTube and find it incredible. What on earth is happening to our country?: Well CANZUK is coming, so I will give you the one realm one. But we neither show unbinding loyalty to our leader (we are a democracy) and we have particularly in London and other major cities a mixed race society. So your liking of one realm, one people, one leader, to the one Britain, one nation, is not relevant. The campaign is the opposite of xenophobia and indoctrination to follow a great leader, its about making immigrants more accepted in society. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting story: The term originated in a satirical obituary published in a British newspaper, The Sporting Times, immediately after Australia's 1882 victory at The Oval, its first Test win on English soil. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia".[1] The mythical ashes immediately became associated with the 1882–83 series played in Australia, before which the English captain Ivo Bligh had vowed to "regain those ashes". The English media therefore dubbed the tour the quest to regain the Ashes. After England had won two of the three Tests on the tour, a small urn was presented to Bligh by a group of Melbourne women including Florence Morphy, whom Bligh married within a year.[2] The contents of the urn are reputed to be the ashes of a wooden bail, and were humorously described as "the ashes of Australian cricket".[3] It is not clear whether that "tiny silver urn" is the same as the small terracotta urn given to the MCC by Bligh's widow after his death in 1927.(Wikipedia) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Natiinal Anthem my mother and father lived under and worked under before immigrating to the United States. There is no comparison to the positive movement in the video you provided and the video I am providing of the German National Anthem is the original version used under Nazi Germnay. The video has English subtitles so that all the forum none German Speakers can read the words! Oh and by the way this version of Germanys National Anthem is banned in Germany today. There is an updated version that is accepted. The trick here is they overlaid the original National Anthem over a new video to try and disguise it, tricky little devils aren't they!

I don't think people are trying to downplay the terrors of the Third Reich. Austria is different because of Anschluss, but Germany didn't suddenly become an anti-Semitic Nazi state, it was a prolonged journey, of which culture played a big part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of my post was very clear, if you compare the wording of those songs there is no comparison which makes the title of your thread ridiculous. That's all I was saying, nothing more, and no there is not a thin edge here. So your use of history doesnt change anything, its only a diversion away from my original comments.
