The line she takes offense to is &#8220;Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.&#8221; Clearly the line is referring to the thought that a Briton should never willingly go into slavery. The song was written at a time when the national memory was fresh of Barbary Corsairs raiding the shores of the British Isles to capture whites to sell in Arab slave markets in Africa. Her comments came about after the BBC removed the lyrics from the song in its Last Night of the Proms (a major musical event for the UK).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Do those Brits who believe it\u2019s ok to sing an 18th Century song about never being enslaved, written when the UK was enslaving and killing millions of innocents, also believe it\u2019s appropriate for neo-Nazis to shout, \u2018We will never be forced into a gas chamber.\u2019 #RuleBritannia,\u201d the BBC producer wrote on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis explained that she believes \u201cslavery was Britain\u2019s holocaust. We should apologise for it properly and yet at the moment, we have NO memorial to enslaved people in the UK. We should not celebrate slave owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not sing in a gloating way that Britons will never be enslaved, when we were responsible for enslaving so many. We should have anthems which celebrate what is truly great about the UK, which we can all sing and this will help unite our country,\u201d she went on to write.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When people pointed out that slavery in the whole of the British Empire was abolished more than 200 years ago, that the Royal Navy&#8217;s West Africa Squadron freed some 150,000 slaves from 1,600 slaving ships, and more than 1,500 British sailors died in those battles she doubled down.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe song was written in 1740 &amp; up to the end of the 18th century, millions were enslaved Martin Daubney. Yes, I\u2019m also very proud Britain ended slavery in the 19th Century, but this song is not about that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, the song is about pride. Something we aren&#8217;t allowed to feel any more unless you&#8217;re of whatever particular victim persuasion is the cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre du jour.<\/p>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2020\/08\/27\/rule-britannia-bbc-boss-compares-britons-patriotism-to-nazi-gas-chambers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A high ranking member of the British Broadcasting Corporation has compared singing the patriotic song\u00a0Rule, Britannia! &hellip; <a title=\"You&#8217;re a Nazi if you don&#8217;t want to be a slave\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=104270\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">You&#8217;re a Nazi if you don&#8217;t want to be a slave<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,576],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-blm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=104270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104273,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104270\/revisions\/104273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=104270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=104270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=104270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
