Graham Kendrick makes the list!

Though it's the list today in the Daily Mail of the 50 people who ruined Britain.

Hymns such as "Shine Jesus Shine" can be variously described as either 'tepid bilge' or 'really worshipping Jesus'. They've certainly run afoul of Quentin Letts who includes the author of many such hymns on a list of people he holds responsible for Britain's downfall. Mr Kendrick occupies space #39 - between the present head of MI6 and Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister.

Mr Letts' taste in hymnody clearly runs in a different direction

The sturdy hymns of England, musical embodiment of the stoicism, resolve and undemonstrative solidarity of our nation....

In other words 'Jerusalem' or some other old chestnut - the sort of hymns a schoolboy could belt out in full voice while being flogged with a cane at school - back in the days when Britain was great.

Postscript:

Although, in fairness (and with thanks to AsboJesus for mentioning the bloody obvious) Graham Kendrick has not done nearly the damage to Britain over the years that the bloody Daily Mail has done.
