PETER HITCHENS: We rant about the BBC Proms...
yet make ourselves slaves to coronaphobia

Why are arguments about the love of country
always held between BBC-type Britain-hating
pinkoes, embarrassed by their own nation, and
shouty jingoes, who never think about what patriotism really means?
Here we all are in a state of rage about whether
the words of Rule, Britannia should be sung at the Last Night Of The Proms.
Yet the same people who claim to be exercised
about this meekly submit to compulsory masks,
house arrest, the suppression of Parliament,
compulsory family separation and a catalogue of
outrages against our liberty that only a slavish mind would accept.
For months, jingoes put up with being treated
like cattle or serfs. Then they get cross because
of a song? What is wrong with them?

A proper patriot knows that what makes us great
above all is centuries of liberty, and a state
that is beneath our feet, not over our heads.
All they needed to do was to say 'We're not
putting up with this' as our ancestors so
frequently did. But they gave in without a whimper.
When Britain actually did rule the waves, my late
father helped it to do so. In peacetime this
involved years of rigorous training, harsh
discomfort and long months of separation from
home. In wartime, well, you probably know what it
involved if you think about it.
That's why we did not become the slaves of Hitler
in the 1940s – because we still controlled the seas that surround us.

By my guess, 40 well-handled destroyers,
commanded and crewed by serious, well-trained
fighting men, probably made the crucial
difference when it mattered. But my father, like
most of those who actually do the hard work which
defends the freedoms of both pinkoes and jingoes,
was not much given to bombast.
The Russian convoys he took part in were grisly,
exhausting, sleepless slog, not glorious. He'd
lost too many friends in war. He preferred sad
sea songs like Tom Bowling to any amount of Rule, Britannia.
Around 1960, not long after an ungrateful
government had dumped my father on the beach in
post-Suez defence cuts, I first heard Rule,
Britannia, sung in a wonderful old-fashioned way
by the contralto Constance Shacklock.

It was a few years before the BBC fell under the
spell of the cultural revolutionaries, who have
been trying to get rid of such things since 1969.
So she was still able to get as far as the verse
containing the words 'Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame'.
I suspect everyone listening, from my
eight-year-old self to the most ancient retired
Admiral nodding over his grog, pictured those
haughty tyrants as foreigners in strange uniforms
or silly hats, Bonaparte, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin.
We never thought that – when it came to it – our
painfully acquired freedoms would be strangled by
a jolly, obese, blond Etonian.
Or that a people once famed for their fierceness
and independence would be tamed into muzzled,
mumbling submissives by a little well-orchestrated fear propaganda.
Never shall be slaves, indeed. What right do we
now have to sing it at all, whether the BBC lets us or not?
Is this advert masking a simple truth?
In the continuing struggle of truth against
falsehood, I have complained to the Advertising
Standards Authority (ASA) about an advertisement
plastered over bus shelters all over the country.

You may have seen it. An attractive young woman
is shown with half her face obscured by a piece
of cloth, which may well have been made from an item of clothing.
'I wear this to protect you,' she is supposed to
be saying. 'Please wear yours to protect me.' I
said to the ASA that she may believe this is so,
but there is no hard experimental evidence to
support the claim that people who wear such loose
cloth masks protect me at all.
The poster could claim 'I wear this because I
believe it protects you'. But it is wrong to say that it does.
I am pleased to say that the ASA has agreed to
investigate the complaint – and has now referred
it to its council. I will let you know what happens.
Covid? You may as well fear falling tortoises
Is anyone still fooled by these figures for
'cases' of Covid-19? The more you look, the more
you will find, but deaths and hospitalisations
keep going down. It's increasingly clear that the
virus rarely affects healthy people.
In fact, I'd guess that the chance of a healthy
young person dying from Covid is about as great
as the chance of an eagle dropping a tortoise on your head and killing you.
This actually happened to Greek playwright
Aeschlyus about 2,500 years ago, so it must be
about due to happen again, especially with the
growing eagle population in the country, and the
huge number of pet tortoises on which they might swoop if hungry. Be afraid.
Using the panic-stricken logic applied to Covid
by Health Commissar Matt Hancock, we should
surely be taking serious precautions against this menace.

Perhaps the enforced wearing of tortoise-proof
helmets might be necessary, or anti-eagle netting
installed over the back gardens of
tortoise-owners, who should from now on be strictly licensed.
But my favourite Hancock-style solution is the
compulsory greasing of all tortoises, so that
eagles cannot pick them up in the first place.
I think this meets the precautionary principle
quite well, and I'm sure our domestic grease
industry can cope with the demand. Save Lives. Control the Tortoise.
For some years I have written occasionally for a
thoughtful American magazine called First Things.
Last week, they asked me to censor what I had written.
They said: 'We are trying to be slightly less
critical of the lockdown measures on the site
these days (though criticism is of course
warranted), so we've made a few changes to the final paragraphs.
'The First Things board has concerns about some
of the pieces we have published on Covid. They
have asked us to be less dismissive of Covid-19.'
They then asked me to 'revise' what I had written
(which I have now published unrevised on the
Peter Hitchens blog). I said no, and have ceased
to write for them. It is a sign of the deep
damage this panic is doing to Western freedom
that the censor's stupid, heavy hand should reach
even into such gentle places.

Please consider why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultist 'people farmers' running the Western World using Moses and Jesus as cover.
Power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought.
Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
