It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
When push comes to shove things might get messy, just saying. So cheers, and let's hear it for Kipling.
Your Pal,

I think that all of GB is past the tipping point. Whitehall the rest of the establishment needs a good house cleaning. If that does not happen, soon then there will; be hell to pay. The rest of Europe is waking up to that is well.
Wasn't Kipling's word "Saxon"?
Yes. That's the point.
Yes, it was 'when the Saxon begins to hate'.
BM, how can it not get messy? Serious point.
Yes, Anon.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, RHT. I'm not wagering the monkey.
Yes, 1chota. Me? To be honest, I prefer City of Brass.
