Indeed. I suspect that the BLM cultural marxists will criticise the fact that she mentioned "Bluebirds" instead of "Blackbirds".
Strange that no one thought to amend the lyrics to include a bird native to Britain. There’ll be Blue Tits over the white cliffs of Dover?

The lyrics were written by an American who had never seen the white cliffs and didn't know that bluebirds are not native to the UK. Still it all worked out in the end.

I never went to see her perform but, strangely,she did come to see me perform about 10 years ago - well, okay, not just me but the choir I was in. I was quite surprised to see her sitting in the front row as the guest of honour. RIP Vera.
