A Congolese Carol (to the Tune of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen')


God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Congolese have gathered
For riot and affray
In Trafalgar Square they punched the air
Then sundry passers-by
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

In London, in England
‘Diversity’ was born
And with this word upon their lips
It was no lie they swore
But they would take advantage
Of us for evermore
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

For now we find no peace of mind
There’s nought that we can do
For a Congolese may be unkind
And throw a drink at you
And burn your skin and laugh and grin
Then turn and say “f*** you!”
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

You came to help your loved ones
Who with the cancer ail
And with your kindness and your songs
We hoped that you’d prevail
Hence this unhappy tale
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

The Congolese moved in a pack
With cruelty in their hearts
And their baying black sisters
Played their mocking part
Oh why they came to attack you
Was unclear from the start
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

They came to burn the Christmas tree
From our Norwegian friends
They came to vent and spew their hate
And claim it was ‘amends’
For a vote that was cast far away
That their conscience did offend
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

Emma West now sits in gaol
Her children taken away
With a judge who caused dismay
And who will grieve for the young man
The murdered Danny O’Shea?
And there is no point in asking why, asking why
And there is no point in asking why.

Oh tell us why you’ve done this
We do not understand
To flood our native land
With people who’ve no business here
And bite our feeding hand
And this is our point in asking why, asking why
And this is our point in asking why.


We have The Daily Telegraph to thank for news of this disgraceful attack on carol singers seeking to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, whereas The Guardian and the BBC omitted this from their reporting of the arrest of 139 Congolese demonstrators for a variety of offences including inflicting damage on cars, property and shops. Fights are also said to have broken out amongst the demonstrators. At a guess, many of the people involved in this violent outburst will have arrived here claiming 'asylum'. As with the gang of young Somali women who attacked Rhea Page, I would suggest that those who indulged their violent impulses should have no place in this country, and ought to be deported back to Congo with no right of readmission to the UK. Another tale of woe involving a Congolese in England can be accessed here.

  1. Why are there any significant number of Congolese in London? Congo was never a British colony, so why have these people come to Britain? Belgium would seem like the more likely place for them to go.

    In any event, if they are so concerned with politics in Congo, they should be returned to Congo so that they can participate actively, and be barred forever from Europe and the UK. They are clearly not fit for human company.

  2. Yes, it is odd that these people have turned up in London rather than in Brussels. Still, human flotsam and jetsam increasingly seems to wash up on our shores, but the tide flows in one direction only and never takes it away again.

    I agree wholeheartedly that if they wish to change the course of affairs in Congo then they should be demonstrating in their home country. What the hell do they think it has to do with us? If they are so concerned about its misgovernance, they have only themselves to blame, as it has been an independent state for over 50 years. Perhaps they would rather that the Belgians had stayed in charge? Would they like the Belgians to run their country now?

  3. I agree with you, Durotrigan.
    It is a shame that those far away countries in Asia, Africa, Middle East still run to European Western countries on every slighest problems, after so many years of independence.

  4. Only one course of action, which is vote BNP

  5. Not under Griffin I'm afraid. However, a new, credible and non-corrupt nationalist party is required to fulfil the role that the BNP proved incapable of. That said, Andrew Brons is a good man, and I'd vote for him again should he decide to stand.
