@blackandproud75 You are RACIST through and through. Don't you realise that the people you hate so much created the NHS to give you free health care? A generous benefit system in case you are out of work? A State pension? Social housing? If you like this country its because its inhabitants made it what it is.

WHITE hating is just a bad as BLACK hating. Please, Hate leads to more hate and If you truly love living here, then try and let that hate go, so we can all live in a better country.

@PiggusVomitus I dont think that anyone in their right mind would suggest that Jesus is or was British. However everyone knows that God most certainly is.

The Bible's a book of fairy tales, sir.

It doesn't. Jerusalem is a metaphor for a utopia and a holy city and the original writer was basically saying that we can build a utopia here in England.

Your comment is truly appreciated. Cheers! The old adage is so true: You can take the boy out of the country, but then, you know the rest! The 2010 Last Night of the Proms is certainly the best I have witnessed since the days of Sir Malcolm Sargeant.

@Taylorgentles This has to be the nost eloquent, insightful and munificent comment I have ever read on utube. Well done Sir.

@larryman117 well, its either be generous, or dont be in government lol.... its called consensus.

@rogerpenna Jerusalem in this context is about a paradise.

[sthill1993]

@rogerpenna Yeah, it is really. I think it's not really the place itself, just the significance for Christianity. Shame that it cannot be accepted that it is part of Israel, the world would be a much more peaceful place today if it was recognised!

[rogerpenna]

@sthill1993 which is kinda funny, right, considering Jerusalem has been actually more like hell for over 2000 years, with so many different people trying to conquer it, and partially destroying it killing its inhabitants time and again.
