Same, got a shock, then realised unless he was typing from the grave, it can't be him. ????

At this time when many people are thinking about Black Lives Matter and the legacy of slavery, let us not forget that this woman suffered from a blind patriotism, singing “the [British] empire too/we can depend on you” and “red, white, and blue/what does it mean to you?”  Probably best forgotten.

Now in the news forum.
