Patti Smith, 1979, did a powerful, haunting protest song about colonial oppressors, 'Broken Flag', the lyrics speaking of tragedy and dead children and 'marching toward Algiers' to liberate

In Algeria, where freedom from the French - 'the impossible' - was achieved in 1962

Much of the world is readying to 'march toward Jerusalem' now

This is from 1979, Patti Smith live, visibly emotional, singing 'Broken Flag'

Some of the lyrics

She's darning and the land is weeping red and pale
Weeping yarn from Algiers

Weaving though the eyes are pale
What will rend will also mend
The dream she weaves will never end
For we're marching toward Algiers

Lullaby though baby's gone, lullaby a broken song
We're still marching for Algiers
The sifting cloth is weeping red
a field of stars and tears we've shed

Film trailer for 1966 'Battle of Algiers'

At least there is one MP doing his job. I agree that anyone supporting WHO autocracy should be thrown out of Parliament and face the wrath of mobs entirely disinterested in THEIR human rights.
