Richard Littlejohn of the Daily Mail is one of possibly only two journalists in Britain (Rod Liddle in the Sunday Times is the other one) who dares to be politically incorrect and give voice to what most of us think but are afraid to say.
Yesterday, in preparation for the BBC’s Songs of Praise being broadcast from a shack in the refugee Jungle in Calais, Littlejohn rewrote our possibly best-known hymn Jerusalem, updating it for modern-day Britain.
I’ve taken the liberty of inserting below Littlejohn’s version and then I’ve added a last verse of my own. I hope this updated hymn will now be included in the Church of England’s new hymn book and that your local church will soon be using this much more relevant version of our great hymn:
And did those feet, in modern times
Swarm into England’s welfare state.
And was the Eurotunnel breached
Because someone forgot to lock the gate.
And so we boarded trucks and trains
As French policemen stood around
Thus was Afghanistan builded here
In England’s overcrowded towns.
Bring me my dole, my benefits
Take me to Croydon DSS.
Give me tax credits, a council house
And free treatment on the NHS.
I shall not cease to demand my rights
Then I shall send for my wife and mum
And we will build Afghanistan
In England’s inner-city slums.
And when I’ve got my council house
I’ll produce M*sl*m kids by the score
And we’ll get rich on benefits
While demanding ever more
I will not cease the Jihad fight
And rape those white girls when I can
Till we have built a Caliphate
On England’s concreted-over land
By the way, in 2001 Richard Littlejohn wrote a comic novel TO HELL IN A HANDCART which uncannily predicts what life would be like in today’s politically-correct Britain. I highly recommend it.
