Never heard of William Blake, have you Rob? Obviously not or you wouldn't write such rot. Try reading the reason behind the ban and you might discover that it has nothing to do with PC.
pc world gone daft. its british leave it alone
My daughters loved singing this, particularly at Primary School - the whole school usually enjoyed it so much they sang it through twice!
Its to do with religion not PC or foreigners. William Blake (the author - for those that do not know) wrote it as a protest song against the industrial revolution overtaking our green and pleasant AGRICULTURAL land with factories. Oh the ignorance on here....
