Ever since Peter Capaldi retired as the Twelfth Doctor, the long-running British sci-fi series “Doctor Who” has faced ratings troubles, with audiences expressing disinterest in the direction of the series. With the arrival of the Fifteenth Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa, fans’ concerns with the direction of the show are reflected, as ratings continuing to decline. However, a clip from the upcoming Christmas special “The Church On Ruby Road” garnered attention — but not for the reasons that the producers may have intended.
In the episode, the Doctor and his companion, Ruby, portrayed by Millie Gibson, infiltrate a church. As they enter, they hear music. What transpires is a song sung by a cabal of goblins who are celebrating their upcoming meal: a human child.
The Doctor does not express concern about the situation, simply remarking, “Amazing” — only to be chided by Ruby.
“We’ve got a baby, we can feast,” says the goblin singer. “We can dine three days at least. Baby blood and baby bones. Baby butter for the baby scones.”
As Doctor Who and Ruby crawl through the rafters of the church, the chilling yet absurd song continues, with each verse getting stranger as it is revealed that the baby is a sacrifice for the King Goblin.
“A banquet for a king on high, Oh little baby, Oh little baby, say goodbye,” the song concludes, before Doctor Who interrupts — not because he was trying to save the baby, but because he fell through a crack in the ceiling.
While some will dismiss the song as a cringeworthy attempt at entertainment (though from the YouTube channel, it is clear that fans think the song is “insanely catchy” and “delightfully corny, yet horrifyingly dark”), it is unfortunate that in real life, many in the British government view children as expendable.
Live Action News reported of birth rates in England and Wales in August, “Though the birth rate has been steadily decreasing, the 2022 numbers are the lowest they’ve been in 20 years. In contrast, abortions in the two countries have skyrocketed. Data released by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) show there were 123,219 abortions between January and June of 2022 — a 17% increase from the 105,488 abortions between January and June of 2021.”
British demographic experts have praised this result, largely relying on the discredited overpopulation theory to explain their elation, noted the article.
Children in the United Kingdom are being sacrificed not to a King Goblin, but to a widely disproven conspiracy theory largely promoted by eugenicists and population control enthusiasts who want the Earth’s population to decline in certain demographics.
All children deserve to be saved from the clutches of the abortion industry, but like the goblins’ actions in the song, their suffering is being celebrated.
Ironically, the BBC and the “Doctor Who” showrunners have released “The Goblin Song” as a single to raise money for the BBC Children in Need charity. Director of Income & Engagement at BBC Children in Need Claire Hoyle said, “We’re delighted to continue our long standing relationship with Doctor Who, and we are so grateful for their support with this Christmas single.”
Showrunner Russel T. Davies added, “We’re releasing this as an early Christmas present for everyone. And if you want to see how the Doctor and Ruby escape from the Goblin King at the end of the song, you’ll have to watch on Christmas Day!”
While it is noble to give the proceeds of the disturbing song to a charity helping children in need, the children sacrificed to abortion in the United Kingdom are being ignored. Doctor Who’s strange remark in response to a child about to be eaten by a grotesque monster is a perfect example of the blindness and lack of empathy exhibited for those who are killed by poisoning, vacuum suction, or dismemberment in UK abortion facilities.
