By Gum St. George
Fatherland won
Inevitably, as a result of having read page 11 of the July issue of Kings Jazz Review (KJR),
the Wembley football fans miraculously and with appreciation, found favour at the football match against the Spanards to fly the flag of St George, the patron saint of England.
The bright red cross is the one that Richard the Lionheart (1157-99), King of England (1189-99) defender of the faith, wore during The Third Crusade gaining access for Christians into Jerusalem nine years before his death.
Was it therefore because of KJR that the BBC had been hard pressed to zoom into finding a non-national
St George flag at the Wembley Stadium, making it at long last since WWII, wanton, for the BBC to be able to ignore England's true musical culture - Traditional jazz, and the patron saint of England ever again?
Kings Jazz Review has been pressing for eight long years, the various Arts bodies in England, for the country to support its own national musical culture, instead of it flooding this green and pleasant land with, and supporting all the disparate foreign types imaginable under the man in the moon.
Germany's football team defeat of England's in a 6-5 penalty shoot-out played in England's national football stadium on Wednesday 26 June 1996, has put the so-called do-gooder gripers in their place for trying to strip the Englishman of his national identity in order to allow a flood-in by the back door of a festering quatermass of seekers to take a firm hold throughout this age-long defended island.
Had the tabloid press read Kings Jazz Review, as mercifully it appears that those English football fans all did, they would have avoided themselves (the press) the embarrassment of having to explain away that they were not able to identify Government, the Arts Council of England and the BBC, as the true enemies of patriotism, other than barracking in their front pages, the Euro 96 Germans, (the tabloid's missed opportunity) who came in our midst to enjoy themselves, spend their money for a day or two, and return peacefully to their homeland.
It was clear by the method of their play, that the 1996 Germans read the tabloid vitriolics correctly.
Does that mean that the WWII English and their immediate descendants are now about to be called to chuck themselves over the White Cliffs of Dover?
Dread-nought is not in sight to save them from the noveaux resident invaders, so therefore the popular press should now urgently support KJR in its crusade to arrest this decline, before it is too late for England come to her senses and stop discriminating against her own national music culture before the English all self distruct, but instead, realize, that if we don't watch out, we'll be in for a far greater defeat than losing a football match to the Germans by a mere penalty kick.
Had, The Sun, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Star called for a Traditional jazz band to play
Gareth Southgate would likely not have missed his penalty shot.
No less, was it in fact the wrath of the whimpers towards the tabloids that lost England the match?
Good jazzin' to England's true musical culture - Traditional jazz.
"Deadlier than the Mirror"
A headline appearing on the 7th July 1996 in the
Letters to The Editor - Sunday Times
A reader points out to Robert Harris, who I'll refer to as being one of the querulous "whimpers" - clause 3.1 of the third protocol of the Maastricht treaty. The clause is about a likely transfer of control of £29 billion worth of gold bullion from London to Frankfurt if we sign up to a single currency, and he (the letter writer) would wonder what he might had fought for, had he been one of the Tommies who died at Normandy and now looking down to see what we were doing to our country.I, Ian King, am with you wherever you are.
If this is true, I wonder just how much our Chancellor of the Exchequer who, in appeasement to his
German equivalent, has instructed The Arts Council of England, that on no account must it sponsor, or ever give any lottery money whatsoever, to England's true musical culture - Traditional jazz.
