Kipling’s poem, “When the English Began to Hate”, was written during the First World War, in the wake of German atrocities committed in Belgium. Kipling’s poetry often deals with themes that cycle through history, keeping them fresh and relevant (e.g., “The Gods of the Copybook Headings”).
This poem seems germane in the context of the UK’s ongoing immigrant invasion and the recalcitrance of a series of woke governments. Someone once said – I’m thinking it may have been Edmund Burke, but I have not been able to track down the citation – “Once does not properly know how to love, who does not also properly know how to hate”. If you do not hate the things that threaten what you love – your people, your culture, your country, your religion – then you may never find the spirit and motivation to oppose them. The very first thing, though, is to acknowledge evil for what it is; unfortunately, the ruling class in the UK refuse to do that, and it also tries to stop the people from publicly making that acknowledgement.
