This song stems from a quote attributed to Dick Gaughan, a well-known British folk singer "We tend to forget that England was the first country colonised by the British, and that the English people have never been allowed any form of self-determination".
Ethnic English people are more detached from their ancestry and their ethnic and culture identity than any other ethnic group. The British Government’s appetite for conflict between 1750 and 1950 was such that around 3 million young Englishmen were killed and maimed on battlefields in foreign lands, with some English villages losing 95% of their young men under 25 in WWI.
This, along with the estimated 2 million young English men who died prematurely (and without children) during the Industrial Revolution, had a disastrous effect on English ethnic continuity. The British Government’s enthusiasm for the over-speedy replacement of England’s breeding stock with foreign males, including eager emigrants from Scotland, Wales and both Irelands, then destroyed all possibility of ethnic English recovery.
In more recent times successive British Governments have enforced disastrous multiculturalism and mass immigration policies on England, the effects of which caused the mass emigration of English people - the younger ones start new lives in America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand; the older ones to take (early) retirement in France, Spain and Portugal.
Edmund Blunden wrote his poem Forefathers in 1923, which summed up his view of just how badly the English had already been detached from their English roots by the end of WWI. In fact it was simply a warning of things to come. In 21st Century Britain the English have been so thoroughly beaten up and denied their birthright, traditions and heritage that they know little about (and thus care little about) their own English forefathers and the contribution they made to their lives. Blunden would think it entirely disgraceful that in so-called multicultural Britain it is the ethnic English alone who are racially discriminated against and destined to become extinct.
From the times of vassals and bondsmen the English have always been slaves. As slaves they have never had influence over what happened to them, England, their English heritage, their English way of life. Under the British democratic system that is how it has always been for England and the English.
Only slaves would meekly accept the usurping of their country, their culture, their freedom, their identity and the disappearance of their people. The Irish and Scots did not, they fought back. The ethnic English have, and the disappearance of 200,000 English surnames from England over the past 200 years with hardly a murmur is proof positive that in the British context, the English have always been, and are still, slaves.
