I agree with you that Elizabeth spent all her time trying to protect the monarchy and none of her time trying to protect the United Kingdom. That was especially selfish of her, and her legacy will not be a good one after all the goodwill lapses. Everyone loved her when she was alive, but looking at her actual record, her priorities were all wrong. If she could have sacrificed her crown, or even the monarchy itself, to save the UK from much of what took place post-Thatcher, she should have done so. That's what a monarch ought to do.
As for Charles, someone should whisper into his ear, "The people want you to remember Edward II."
Oh this is so heartbreaking. My personal reading choices are historical novels, based on real people and real circumstances. I have read much about Winston Churchill as well as the many courageous citizens who “did their bit” to preserve and protect their country.
Britain like Germany and other European countries sold their birthright for a mess of pottage. Mess being the operative word. Bringing in all of those Islamists under some idiotic theory this was a benefit to the country was sheer insanity. You don’t invite rattlesnakes in and expect not to be bitten.
I am thankful that there were enough people on Team Normal to avoid the same debacle here although we now have millions of God knows what kind of people in our country thanks to the globalist idiots pulling Biden’s strings.
There is hope now that we’ve tossed out the Obama coalition. Not surety but hope. Have you hope? Will Prince William turn the tide?
The betrayal and the attitudes that lead to the betrayal are the same and existed behind the Biden era open borders as well. Thankfully you have more hope because of the size of the nation and the existence of MAGA. The UK has some hope still but for most European nations the number of Muslims now is a real existential threat. I’m not sure the UK can be saved. We are adding a million a year to a small island. And we are imprisoning people who protest.
So thought provoking. May I ask, do you see any hope in William? Yes, the Earthshot Prize, but nevertheless, he seems stronger and more protective (and seems exceptionally well married).
Sadly William is full of the same nonsense as his father. But he and Kate are both very good at the basics and have more charisma and less desire to force issues than Charles.i don’t see them resisting globalist instructions but I don’t see them independently pressing them beyond what they are told to do.
Satan fell from Heaven and landed in the souls of cowards and power-hungry egoists. Charles and countless before him fit that bill. God help us. Literally.
The only reason I can see for keeping a King is that it means we don't have President Blair or Cameron or even President Sir Sadiq Khan.
The King is a silly and spoilt man in a position of wealth and comfort - he should be ignored unless he's opening a supermarket. My son-in-law briefly worked at Buckingham Palace and was totally disillusioned with the King (which was sad because he's Greek and apparently the Greeks love our royal family!) who was a childish and petulant bully.
Totally agree about the petulant dolt on the throne. His son seems to be following in his footsteps and shows every sign of going along with the status quo.
It was whilst engaged in the anti EU movement from the 1990s onwards that I became aware of the Queen's apparent betrayal of her people by signing all the successive EU treaties - Maastricht, Lisbon, Amsterdam and Nice - yielding ever increasing powers to Brussels. I often wondered what was in her mind when she did this. Could she really have believed it was in the interests of her country to hand over ever more decision-making powers to unelected "foreigners"...making Britain a vassal state. Some have argued she had no choice. In any case, she showed no hesitation in going along with the breach of trust.
I didn't think his speech was that bad, but I see where you and others are coming from. I have given him the benefit of the doubt, thinking he might have been referring to all the riots, not just the one. I'm on the fence with this.
That is the most brilliant excoriation of our sad excuse of a King that could ever be written. Bravo 👏🏻
Thanks Bettina. 😀😀
Brilliant. I’m tempted to say, “God damn the King!”
Thanks, it would be an apt thing to say!
Don’t get me going on about that ignorant, big eared, sausage fingered, spoiled brat of a king. You have covered it completely, Daniel.
Thanks Ivor. He definitely puts a stress on my monarchism.

I totally agree on both points Ed. A monarch should defend their people, even at risk of their crown.

Would that you were King! But where would you find peers?
Thanks Richard 😀😀

This is the best and most powerful analysis of the King's speech I've read so far.
Well said!
