  • Labour's shadow chancellor waves his fist as the Labour Party Conference closes with the traditional singing of the Red Flag and Jerusalem.
    John McDonnell was seen enjoying the singing as a duet, later congratulated by leader Jeremy Corbyn, performed with delegates.

    How ironic that Milliband tried to change the red to Pink XD

    A good thing they ditched this later. The 2017 version is much better.

    Jermey Corbyn is one of my favorite English people ( I’m Irish) alongside , Tony Benn ( R.I.P.) and of course Ken Livingston, of course there are more great English working class from the past and present .
    I hope they will be able to elevate England to a socialist republic soon .

      No thanks, mate. You chose to abolish the monarchy and that is fully in your rights as free people. The majority of British people still back the monarchy and abolishing it would be undemocratic.

    They should have sung the Spitting Image version of Jerusalem about the working class and how the Tories keep cutting public money.

    The Labour Party shows that we can love our party and our country. God bless Cornyn, a man of the people. May Labour rise once more, a Corbyn and Sanders duo would be wonderful for this American. In the 80’s, our beloved Reagan and Thatcher had a friendship that moved mountains. Conservatism had its era and we are grateful for it, but the chains have been broken. We Americans are finally feeling the BERN

    "England's Green and Pleasant Land" What about Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

      It's just the traditional hymn of the Labour Party. Labour was founded by a Scottish socialist remember.

      ***** Well no actually, seeing as in the last GE Labour still got 1 vote for every 2 that the SNP got, they're still a big party in Scotland.

      Jerusalem is an originally English anthem; I'd be absolutely fine with England being changed to Britain in the lyrics

      It's "rule the waves". The song wasn't patriotic, it was a protest against the king's decision to reduce the navy in favour of the army.

      I would have to agree sadly. It would be better if everyone sang as opposed to just 2 people

    For a group that claim to be Socialist and not Communist but sing a Communist song explains they know as much about the history of music as what they do concerning politics .

      Oops, someone failed. They're social democrats, not even socialists. And the Red Flag is a song of the workers, not necessarily communism or socialism.

    • @pintoflager

      What makes this song a communist song as opposed to a socialist song, exactly?

    • @lsarenkir
      @lsarenkir 6 років тому +7

      all communist are socialist but not all socialist are communist, this is an hymn dated back centuries when Labour is still a socialist party

      You making that comment you shows that you fail to understand both the history of socialism and the history of the Labour Party.
