Thank you for pointing this out.

Right after my broadcast on the oath of allegiance controversy, I found this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the creator for finally putting it point blank in the republicans’ faces. How much clearer can we be?

The Anglo-Celtic Bloc?

People over at OurKingdom are debating about the fate of the UK. Some are suggesting an Anglo-Celtic bloc within the European Union (should the UK join), and refer to this possibility as a “decentralised Albion, with a Council of the Isles”.

Others are speaking up saying, “For England, a “confederated” United Kingdom would be nothing but gain. The obsession among Westminster politicians with keeping the union is archaic … An autonomous Scotland, a country as big as Denmark, should liberate the English parliament to enjoy a politics freed of the alien encumbrance of Scottish seats … It should also liberate England to consider its localism, its neglected Anglo-Saxon history and culture, without having to “take into account” the Scottish (or Irish or Welsh) ingredients of that curious vacuity, Britishness.”

‘If that’s the future, count me out’ says Charles

Prince Charles hates bland, and does his best to ensure that his organic products - and the method with which they are created - are unique and environmentally friendly. Mass production and chains horrify His Royal Highness.

Charles predicts with glaring terror that small farmers may be “driven off their land [by global conglomerates] into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness”.

With that mouthful, the Prince proclaims that “If that is the future, then count me out.”

Republican Rumblings

Here’s the latest attempt to make bland the British nation. Your own government, like here in the US, is going to stab you in the back.

[Ed. - Just to let you know - before I’m sent thousands of flaming emails of hatred - that yes, I know that there are people who don’t want the monarchy for one reason or another, and they would be more than happy that the Labour Government is pushing for such a move. The reason I say “stabbed in the back” is because not only are monarchists being betrayed, the head of state betrayed, but in the end, those of you who are republicans will be betrayed too. The politicians are doing it even now. These people want to be rid of a distinct British icon, at times viewed as specifically English, and they will play on republican feelings for their own end.]
