A move to ban Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. What are your thoughts rugby fans?

EMMF1984. Exactly. I can’t repeat on here what my DH and DS said. How could they prevent 75/80 thousand fans from singing it, it’s never going to happen.

1948

Oh that would be a shame - DH wants it played at his funeral; the version sung by Ladysmith Black Mambosa with the crowd roar in the background! What a lot of silly nonsense. Give it large, Twickenham!

Somewhere else this morning I’ve read that it was sung by Joan Baez in support of black people’s rights.

It was sung by Joan Baez at the Woodstock Festival

I sincerely hope it's fake news that Prince Harry is throwing his weight behind a review into the song because he is/was a patron of the RFU

He will have sung it many times himself in support of the English team.

Oh dear*Ellan vannin* that in itself sounded more than a bit racist .This is NOT Blacks against Whites..its ANTI racists against racists ..Anti racists can be any race creed or colour .I dont think the UK is particulary "tolerant" especially so since the racists think they were given freedom to be very vocal about their views after their BREXIT win .
The incidences of racism on the streets have increased at an alarming rate with many people deciding to move their familes to safer places than the DIS united kingdom .Now of course its said Bojo will be trying to woo immigrants from the EU back ...good luck with that!!
