Both pieces excellent thank you. I hope that first and foremost our new recruits to the army (all six of them) are recruited on the basis of a sound DEI policy, to reflect our diverse society. Perhaps those who've illegally crossed the channel in dinghies can show their love for their new country by joining up. After all. we're all behind our Prime Minister, aren't we?

Calling this class an aristocracy is an insult to aristocracy. True aristocracy is a growth out of the countryside of peasantry, tied to the land, laden with powers but also duties, and willing to defend the realm with their own blood. What we have now is the ultimate outgrowth of the urban bourgeoisie/proletariat/fourth estate with a heavy dose of secular clergy.

The complete disregard for national identity is a trait of the urban classes and the clergy, the love of money a trait of the former, and the world bettering ideological zeal a trait of the latter.
