That's good, to have a positive grounding. The liberal/feminist viewpoint is that you must be assimilated into a greater meaningless void (like the Borg) or else. Do a little research and see everything I've said in my previous post is true.

I'm just asking Brits to pause a little and to engage in some research whereby they question why they might mindlessly wave a flag steeped in a bloody and imperialist tradition without doing the research.

Just engage your brain.

I agree with what you've said in your post. I haven't researched it directly, but, over time, I have assimilated quite a bit of random information.

I like the bit in "Trainspotting" when a scot points out that if the English are such weenies, what does that make the Scotts, who were conquered by them?

I like the bits in history where common folk tell the imposing British empire not only to fuck off, but to kick their arrogant asses right back to London.

I speak from a free heart and only tell my own tale.

Again, this Jubilee 'celebration' is a domineering reinforcement upon the vanquished by the state, but also a deliberate dissimulation of language and culture.

The vanquishers always try to make you like themselves, they've no respect for difference, individuality or creativity! It's about assimilation, the most potent of enemies. The English spent centuries outlawing Celtic influence through language, dress, music and culture.

The 'enemy' has many guises. Sometimes we are corralled towards a mind execution, we forever inhabit the world as nothing more than corpses, waiting for the bullet to our pathetic heads.

If certain folk are determined to celebrate the 'Jubilee' then I say adopt a man and/or woman in your neighborhood, who has given consistently to your community, and give them some praise instead of the frauds in Buckingham Palace.

And damn, I joined this forum not just because I had a unique perspective upon the world, but that I greedily sought the ideas of others. And it's definitely an enjoyable work in progress!

Recedite,plebes! Gero rem imperialem!







Stand aside plebians! I am on imperial business

There's not such a concept as the aboroginal british!
When the Roman Legions walk on the British Isles they did so unopposed, because the land was occupied by clans who, most of them, sailed from different parts of Europe. The Romans were responsible for unifiing all the clans with the exception of the lands beyond Hadrian's wall.
The Legions consisted mostly of people from different parts of the roman empire for four centuries (or there about). Many did not return to their country of origin choosing instead to settle in the british isles. Hence, the british is just a great mix of people from as far as the middle east.
It is irrelavant if the Queen is of german family.

No, they were a Celtic tribe known as 'Britons.'

I remain HMQ's 'Trusty and Well Beloved', having served the Crown for many a year before and aft the mast, and she keeps sending English Pounds Sterling to me quarterly in recognition of Sterling service as befits a Knight of the Realm.

I reside here on my small but well put together island (just south of the Big Island where the deserts are) where the same Gracious Monarch is Queen of Oz, bless her white cotton knickers with the little applique crown motifs, but we don't have to stable and feed her. hahaha. YOU lot do.

Like the perfect Mother-in-Law she stays right away most of the time and rarely visits.

It is supposedly the duty of the Queen to serve the people

The laws of the British constitution (alive & well) demand that the 'Sovereign' govern the nation in accordance with the terms of the coronation oath.

There is no question of the Sovereign being endowed with any Absolute Power to Govern Us, because the Contract between Crown & People was established in 1688/89 and is now evidenced by both the Bill of Rights and the Coronation Oath. These two documents together place an absolute requirement on the Sovereign that we will be governed in full accordance with our laws and customs and in no other way.

The true function of the Sovereign is to act as the Chief Magistrate in our Society, with authority to ‘create’ and maintain the law, and with the duty & powers necessary to preserve and protect the security of both Our Country and Our People, under the Rule of Law.

The Power of the Sovereign is ultimately regulated by the lawful power of the people to withhold all and any taxation that may be required to pay for the functions of Government – and you will see for yourself that this lawful power to withhold taxation provides a Supreme Veto on any proposal made by any Sovereign that Dictatorship be imposed or Arbitrary Power. Exercised.#

Bottom line............. as with every other Sovereign.................they work for us...................and we hold ultimate power, if one only realizes how to wield it!
