The Privy Council has ruled in favor of the Muslims and Hindus of Trinidad and Tobago, saying that the Trinity Cross awarded to them is unconstitutional because of its associations with Christianity.

So, despite getting an award for distinguished service and bravery, not mention that it was instituted 40 years ago, the decoration will now be withdrawn.

That slap in the face stings a bit, though now the Queen and government know better – no medals to anyone unless they are carded and stamped at the door as being ok with Christianity or an actual Christian. Otherwise… lawsuit!

Thought bubble: Christian person lives in a country that has a Muslim/Hindu/etc. head of state. They are awarded for good service, but instead of accepting the honor graciously, they sue the Muslim/Hindu/etc. system because of the non-Christian imagery on the award.

I don’t suppose I have to yammer on about the obvious outcome of that scenario.

It is not just a Muslim v. Christian issue.  No sir. This is clearly a “We Don’t Like England and Her Ideals” stance in general.

Take, for instance, Christine Grahame, a member of the Scottish Parliament, who said the George Medal was “clearly very Anglocentric” and unsuitable for Scots.

How very awful of King George VI to bestow the highest civilian award for bravery on someone. His Majesty had that honor created so that he could personally recognize all that the people of the realm did in the war effort. That’s so very Anglo-centric and evil. Not at all suitable.

Fair warning: next time, England will just ignore you. After you slap someone in the face enough, they get the picture.

What royal/historical topics would you like me to cover this year on my show “RoyaltyNow”?

The History of the Imperial State Crown presented by Her Majesty the Queen.

It is fascinating, rare footage of the Queen talking directly about a royal object. She almost never talks about the royal life or regalia, with the exception of this video and a portion of “Elizabeth R”, the 1992 documentary. (see it here at YouTube.)

The music used during the crowning of the sovereign, “Zadok the Priest”, plays towards the end of the video below, and it is guaranteed to give you shivers.

Circa 1970s.
