A British bishop who sounds very Frenchy. Bad Ricains, baaad!
A Church of England bishop has called on churches to ban the singing of I Vow to Thee, My Country, one of the best known hymns, because he says it is heretical and has racist overtones. The Bishop of Hulme, the Rt Rev Stephen Lowe, said the hymn's popularity was a symptom of a "dangerous" increase in English nationalism which had parallels with the rise of Nazism.... "It is like American culture where there is this view that America is the land of the free when we know it is not."

No worries here, AI. This wanker isn't an Anglo-Saxon proper. Look at this:
The bishop said the words, written by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice in 1918, were "totally heretical" because they suggested that people should pledge their allegiance to their country before God.
You can't be English unless you think London is the center of the Universe. What a right wanker.
