Every year, the Queen opens Parliament by reading out a speech in which she lays out the government’s agenda over the next session.
On Tuesday, due to “episodic mobility problems”, the Queen was unable to open Parliament and Prince Charles took her place.
In the speech Prince Charles announced that the government’s top priority was to help ease the “cost-of-living” for families.
This coming from a man who is part of the richest family in the world and whilst sitting on a gold throne. Not sure you really pitched it right, Charlie boy! All those families unable to feed their children this week but as long as you don’t hire an extra man-servant, then we’re all in this together.
And so that we don’t forget what the “cost of living” crisis is really about, he promises to “level up opportunities in all parts of the country”. Levelling up is the World Economic Forum’s catchphrase that is used since the British population cottoned on to “Build Back Better”.
This is the 21st, we don’t need monarchs lording it over us any more, whether they are symbolic or not. They certainly have more power than they claim to have and have the superior interest over all land in the kingdom. Time for them to stand down with Elizabeth II being the last monarch ever.
We also don’t want the old monarchs replaced with the current upcoming nouveau monarchy consisting of billionaires telling use how we should live our lives, all for their benefit.
Power needs to be returned to the people and I fear there is a limited opportunity before this will no longer be possible. Will the last 50 years be considered a golden age before we slipped back into serfdom? That’s certainly what some elites would like to happen, although the history books will be amended so you will never know about the golden age of freedom.
Time to return the power and wealth to the masses.

I dreamed last night that I was with the Queen in a large car and we were looking at a huge stately home that was slowly disintegrating into sand. A group of drunken men were partying on one of the balconies, entertained by an opera singer.
The Queen reached out and held my hand. Her skin was fragile and peeling. She looked afraid. I placed my other hand over hers. I smiled reassuringly into her blue eyes as the car drove away towards the depths of a lovely forest.
Death is the only freedom the Queen can possibly experience.
Her life has been a long inescapable prison and King Charles III will be caught in the same trap.
I do not envy these people. I pity them.
They cannot return the power and wealth to "the masses", as you suggest.
It isn't theirs to give.
It is held by the Crown Corporation, a Templar Law edifice, on behalf of God.
An ancient contract, from the time of the Crusades, which controls the "Rule of Law" globally and which few understand,, let alone can destroy.
Every time we hear the phrase "Rule of Law" we hear the jailer's keys echoing through the centuries. We witness the unholy Roman Empire rebranding and relocating, avoiding the light. We see nature exploited, destroyed and dominated.
The Crown Corporation has been Empire building and rebranding since the Venetians relocated to London with William of Orange. The globalism we see now is the same globalism . It has become an occulted system which appears to be led by the USA. They do love to hide behind and use their slave colonies!
Presently the Liz Truss speech given to Mansion House is the best indication you can find online.
Long story short - THE TEMPLAR "RULE OF LAW" HAS DECLARED WAR ON RUSSIA & CHINA. Long planned and long prepared.....
See this earlier article and I have written many more in a similar vein if you look!:
City of London Ltd. Bank of England HRH all part of the same scams dressed up as a revolving door of current things. They know the outcomes because they engineer the scams.
Regardless of all the above. many of us in the UK would I think prefer our system(after all, the constitutional Monarchies of Norther Europe have been the most stable of all democracies) to, for example, President Blair, or President Johnson. A President will always be from a political party. The Queen, as a symbol of the nation (and you try seventy years of dedicated public service, eh?) is far more preferable than some politician.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I would rather trade freedom for stability, as long as it was true freedom, not democracies where you get to pick from two versions of the same thing.
Stable, yes if you ignore that it nearly led to Sweden putting Norway under military rule until saner heads prevailed and we got the 1905 dissolution. Or the fact that Sweden was headed for civil war during the latter half of the nineteenth century, had the monarchy and the parliament of the day not started to make successive and incremenatl changes towards universal sufferage (1921, with some exceptions).
Oh, and formal serfdom, called statare, was abolished in 1948.
But other than that and some other minor issues you are quite correct: only, the stability has nothing with democracy to do, and has everything to do with our culture. And that 1 500 000 swedes migrated to the US during roughly 1850-1900, which was the main contributing factor to economic, religious and societal reforms.
Not trying to rib you or anything - I have no dobut you could take me to school regarding English and British history, it's just everyone's an expert on their home team, right?
I suspect also that the adoption of constitutional monarchy is also "everything to do with our (and your) culture". And most were not formally instituted, as it were, till the 20th century. England was ahead of that game, as we were also on the concept of "Human rights" (now utterly debased) and the freedom of the individual (now more or less gone)
I do know Norway & Sweden have never been too fond of one another, I think?
No, that would be Sweden and Denmark. Norway has been the prize in a tug-of-war between the danish and swedish* royals and nobles up until their independence (which was rightly earned and no mistake).
Up until the eighteenth century or so, large parts of the borderlands between Sweden and Norway simply didn't care what flag they were supposed to hoist, since the people living there have the same ancestry. For some 6 000 years. That tradition sits deeper than any national border or notion, it still does.
During WW2 people on the swedish side hid both norwegian resistance fighters needing to recuperate and german deserters, from the swedish police. Loyalty is to family, kin and home area first, nation second and EU never.
But nowadays it's more akin to sibling rivalry if anything, and national stereotypes are cheerfully played up by most, just for fun. Danes ar happy go lucky sly little rascals, finns are dour and melancholy yet eerily poetic and spiritual, norwegians are cheerful and riche nouveau from petrodollars, and swedes are uptight knowitall apple polishers unless drunk. I know for fact the peoples of the British Isles, towns and counties have the same thing going, as does all the Commonwealth. Just mention sheep in a room with a welshman and an australian when the new zeelander is in the john...
(If you can't tell, that's where I have my roots, so I'm about as impartial as a Yorkist talking about a Lancastrian.)
*The house of Vasa, which ruled before the Bernadotte line was imported from France to avoid potential civil unrest and strife, the swedish people of the time being quite fed up with politicial infighting and useless wars.
Thanks - tho' I have to say I knew quite a few Norwegians way back, and they were clear in their dislike of the Swedes! And being half-Irish I love an Irish joke myself :-)
As an Aussie, I tend to agree with this. Every so often our government will try to push for making us a republic. But then you have a think about it, and you realise that it would just mean replacing a hereditary rulership system with our current lowest-common-denominator one. I mean, would you really want Boris to be the supreme head of state in the UK? Or Scott Morrison in Australia? ...or any of them, really.
Biden as supreme leader in the US is not exactly an inspiring example.
Until we solve the problem of how to promote the true visionary leaders & statesmen - and cauterize malfeasance - we had better just stick with our current system.
100% agree, Mara. We've got all too many politicians as it is, and they are all, whatever the political colour, beyond hopeless &/or extremely dangerous.
Yes I would want Boris to be head of the state because I would have the power to vote him in and then kick him out. The royals were born into extreme wealth and because of this they have a lot of influence as to what goes on in the country. There's no reason in this day and age someone should have so much power just because of whom they were born to.
But yes I agree the problem of who to promote needs to be sorted first.
"they have a lot of influence as to what goes on in the country".
Queen by example. Charles on the other hand is an utter prat. William looks to have been taken in hand by his Grandma, and will do the job well.
Regardless, the prospect of President Blair (who hankered most of all to be President of the EU. Even they weren't stupid enough to let that happen), Johnson, Corbyn or God Knows Who does not thrill me.
We'll have to agree to differ. Anyway, I really can't see me voting ever again. I'm philosophically conservative (think Edmund Burke on an arc to Sir Roger Scruton) but our Conservative Party is anything but and Johnson is a mendacious toad, whose overseeing of Covid was a total disaster for the country. He's now got a taste for the dictatorial and a raft of new legislation hammering the rights of the individual it took us centuries to gain is wicked.
I no longer trust any politicians.
Re William - I don't know if you saw the (rather good) film, "The King's Speech", on the Queen's father, George VI, hurled onto the throne by the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII; George had a bad stammer, and the film deals with him dealing with this. His daughter Elizabeth, then suddenly next in line to the throne, received little formal education - other than in our constitution, and her role in that. I suspect she has been doing the same with William.
Charles could do untold damage given time. He does, however, look sick as a dog (says my wife, an ace acupuncturist of 20 year's experience) so may not last too long. I'll leave it at that...
All societies hunger for glamour and mystery and ritual. If you ain't got a monarch or a formalized religion, you end up with the Kardashians and Blessed Fauci candles.
Even insects have royalty; pack animals have the tyranny of the alpha pair.
Good or bad; capable or bat-shit crazy--this is that eternal wheel thingy.
We are no longer just animal, the eternal wheel has stopped and time for a change. You can still have leaders just not ones that are born into the role.
I admire the Founders for the elegance of their thought and their political foresight. What they built in that sense remains matchless.
But in every society since the cave days, there are those who condone enslaving and those who recoil from it even if their peer group constructs elaborate justifications for allowing it.
Within his personal domain he was as corrupt as anyone who chooses convenience and profit margins over the ethics of the soul.
As a symbol of a nation bound together by a common tradition. I know many struggle with this aspect., but the fact is that in the UK, the monarchy still has huge support. And that's down to the present incumbent (and her late husband, a complete wind-up, much missed by not only his widow - the Duke of Edinburgh's award schemes now operate all over the world and are excellent ways for young people to get involved in things that really matter (as opposed to pronouns, for example)
Perhaps Elizabeth will be the last Monarch in the UK. I hadn’t thought of it until now. She was always my favorite, and not just because she was my contemporary, or rather the contemporary of my grandmother. She became my favorite when I was just a young man, watching her on film clips when she was just an 18 year old princess, having just before her 19th birthday joined the British Army as part of the Auxiliary Territorial Service, rolling up her sleeves and becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to serve in the Armed Forces. It would be the start of a remarkable career and a remarkable life. Being an American I have the autoimmune portion of the Royalist view, however with Elizabeth I saw something different, something that was perhaps missing from all things American, a kind of standard bearer that was always there and always involved, not changing with the times but reminding her subjects of the things that are worth preserving, the permanent things. I admired her my entire life for her steadfastness and resilience, for being ballast to an unsteady world and especially to a nation that had established much foundational, much that would come to be regarded as that which is permanent, the gift to mankind of civilization. When she is gone I will miss her. The world will miss her as well, whether it knows it or not.
I admire her but I admire a lot of people who get to where they are through merit, not through birth. Maybe she might have achieved something equally as great with her personality, maybe not.
Yes agree birthright is a concept fraught with peril. But let us not forget that all of our world leaders today, and many besides, believe that they got to where they did in this world through Merit, and for them with a capital M. So if Merit and Birthright were both seat mates on a train headed for Hell, which one could best convince the Conductor that he had in fact caught the wrong train.
We also don’t want the old monarchs replaced with the current upcoming nouveau monarchy consisting of billionaires telling use how we should live our lives, all for their benefit. <<< brilliant
As I recall on the same or very next day william was educating the mass how to consume less. This comes from a person who flies around private jet to smile at the cameras and random people.
Good article. Stimulates lots of response. This subject always has. Can just see our American Revolutionary Ancestors cursing the Royals as many of us do. Those in the US have inherited their “freedom” (at least the illusion of it) and system of Government
largely from the European tradition
Although famously rejecting Royals and tyranny these revolutionaries were in fact themselves a landed aristocracy and in fact descended from those they fought against.
That is what has been perpetuated in the US. With our Constitution in shreds we await the “future” with some cynicism and dread. “It’s a Republic, if we can keep it”. (Attributed to different founding ancestors).
Kit Knightly at Off Guardian had an interesting article on this address as well today. What he found interesting was the stated plan to “encourage agricultural and scientific innovation at home” via the proposed Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill. Essentially, this would see new “gene-edited” foods as distinct from old-fashioned “genetically modified” foods, and therefore not subject to the same rules and oversight. Basically a step towards more food control by the elite.
As a UK older citizen,72, I have always liked the Queen and believe she has tried to be a good figurehead.I often said that I would never want to be her as she was not free, like we were ( not any more😳)Every moment of her life planned out,shaking hands with people she possibly didn’t even like,and smiling and waving,even on a bad day. I now believe she is the end of the line, we do not need a figurehead……We need to take back our freedom,
He looks about as fit and present as Biden, and the Queen is their elder? Rule of the geriatrics, but then they are more like stand-in archetypes for Power.
Leveling up? That sounds like LatinX, or birthing people. Code for the good people to know that they are superior to the unthinking mass of morons who have to be ruled with an increasingly iron fist.
Destroy history, community, family, nation states, law and order and then the sense of individual self and agency, and let corporations, the WHO and WEF define truth and reality by mandate.
I am not a UK citizen, but I agree with you. If the press did not have the royals to talk about they would have to find other things to discuss like Kim Kardashian’s butt.
Hear! Hear! Bravo! We need far more of this way of thinking, and this kind of talk. The elite think this is their time. They think they can enslave us, turn us into cattle, and milk us for all we've got. Sadly, there are way too many lefties who think they want that. Truth is, they're not bright enough to know they don't. I'm with you all the way. If only Republicans talked like this; we'd stand a far greater chance of stopping this global, communist takeover. We'll just have to do it without them.
Yes, indeed. The "nobility" is just an acquisitive elite hierarchy, enriching themselves at the expense of their serfs. Lots of examples in Acemoglu and Robinson's book, Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
Today it's our politicians and government employees.
Perhaps donning a business suit, with a small lapel pin of the royal crest, i.e., a little modesty goes a long way, and being less earnest about what "we're going to do" would've been the more politic approach. It's one thing to be aspirational, it's another can of worms for a speech to be filled with clever talking points. The head of state should stay in its lane...
She was deposed by the Barons an 2001 in accordance with The Magna Carta, I no longer recognise the treasonous scumbag particularly after she presided over the scamdemic and wore a mask and sold us out in the Lisbon treaty
Neil Oliver should be made Lord Protector.
BRAVO

City of London Ltd. Bank of England HRH all part of the same scams dressed up as a revolving door of current things. They know the outcomes because they engineer the scams.
Create the problem, then offer the solution to it!
Kinda like Covid?
No one can know any outcome. Last laugh is in them. (I know.)
Then again, I bet he’d have fun with this current tragicomedy!
Serfdom... that's what I think this has all been leading to, making serfs out of the rest of us.
The hypocrisy is stunning, isn't it?
Here in America, we always hear politicos say "Welfare was never meant to be a way of life."
Well I say "Neither was politics."
But the Royals over there, "Wealth as a way of life."
Oh the sacrifices they have to make for the common folk!
Nobody in history returned the power Voluntarily. Most revolutions were not executed by intellectuals.
Regardless of all the above. many of us in the UK would I think prefer our system(after all, the constitutional Monarchies of Norther Europe have been the most stable of all democracies) to, for example, President Blair, or President Johnson. A President will always be from a political party. The Queen, as a symbol of the nation (and you try seventy years of dedicated public service, eh?) is far more preferable than some politician.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I would rather trade freedom for stability, as long as it was true freedom, not democracies where you get to pick from two versions of the same thing.
Freedom and stability now, it would seem, in the West, banished to the past, by our Lords and Masters.
Stable, yes if you ignore that it nearly led to Sweden putting Norway under military rule until saner heads prevailed and we got the 1905 dissolution. Or the fact that Sweden was headed for civil war during the latter half of the nineteenth century, had the monarchy and the parliament of the day not started to make successive and incremenatl changes towards universal sufferage (1921, with some exceptions).

I agree that presidents (and legislatures, and courts, etc.) suck just as hard as kings.

We are no longer just animal, the eternal wheel has stopped and time for a change. You can still have leaders just not ones that are born into the role.
I've never seen a leader anywhere who remained uncorrupted.
George Washington remained uncorrupted. He wasn't perfect, only human after all, but not corrupt.
But yes, a very large majority of all leaders will let us down eventually.
I admire the Founders for the elegance of their thought and their political foresight. What they built in that sense remains matchless.

To all the UK Republicans out there, I bring you two words that will demolish your foolish notions.
President Thatcher
"Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it . . . "
We could remove President Thatcher if we wanted
That is true only until they start rigging your elections and all media of mass communication. Ask an American.

Exactly
You know the speech was not written by him or the Queen and they just read it, right?
I know, the point is more the ruling classes as a whole are out of touch.

It's Charlie boy looking sad. Maybe because his Mum has died but he has to pretend she is still alive? Last seen March 29, she can't be very well.
Well thats intersting. I don't generally keep at to date on any royal shennaneghans. I'll keep counting the day now though.
It's ok, she's back! Maybe that's why he was sad because he still can't be King.
As a UK older citizen,72, I have always liked the Queen and believe she has tried to be a good figurehead.I often said that I would never want to be her as she was not free, like we were ( not any more😳)Every moment of her life planned out,shaking hands with people she possibly didn’t even like,and smiling and waving,even on a bad day. I now believe she is the end of the line, we do not need a figurehead……We need to take back our freedom,
The monarchy should be relegated to history.
He looks about as fit and present as Biden, and the Queen is their elder? Rule of the geriatrics, but then they are more like stand-in archetypes for Power.
Leveling up? That sounds like LatinX, or birthing people. Code for the good people to know that they are superior to the unthinking mass of morons who have to be ruled with an increasingly iron fist.
Levelling up is code for destroy everything first
Destroy history, community, family, nation states, law and order and then the sense of individual self and agency, and let corporations, the WHO and WEF define truth and reality by mandate.
"The people" don't do any better with power than idiot monarchs.
I am not a UK citizen, but I agree with you. If the press did not have the royals to talk about they would have to find other things to discuss like Kim Kardashian’s butt.
Hear! Hear! Bravo! We need far more of this way of thinking, and this kind of talk. The elite think this is their time. They think they can enslave us, turn us into cattle, and milk us for all we've got. Sadly, there are way too many lefties who think they want that. Truth is, they're not bright enough to know they don't. I'm with you all the way. If only Republicans talked like this; we'd stand a far greater chance of stopping this global, communist takeover. We'll just have to do it without them.
Submission is what all authoritarians demand, and you pay for the effort to keep you under their thumb.
He doesn't look very happy. I do not envy his life of entrapment. A good sign that Harry escaped.
Yes win win if the monarchy goes. Although, they aren't the brightest bunch so not sure what they'd do.
Yes, indeed. The "nobility" is just an acquisitive elite hierarchy, enriching themselves at the expense of their serfs. Lots of examples in Acemoglu and Robinson's book, Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
Today it's our politicians and government employees.
Perhaps donning a business suit, with a small lapel pin of the royal crest, i.e., a little modesty goes a long way, and being less earnest about what "we're going to do" would've been the more politic approach. It's one thing to be aspirational, it's another can of worms for a speech to be filled with clever talking points. The head of state should stay in its lane...
The only time royalty is cool is in fantasy novels 😆
The whole monarchy thing is very good for tourism and brings in mucho dinero.
Not as much as it costs us. And I mean really costs us.
Off With Their Heads!!!!!!
She was deposed by the Barons an 2001 in accordance with The Magna Carta, I no longer recognise the treasonous scumbag particularly after she presided over the scamdemic and wore a mask and sold us out in the Lisbon treaty
There are no "royal" humans -> this guy in particular.
First, they liquidated the queen with the vaccine and now, we have this guy making decisions.
Hard times ahead.
I know, its the whole ruling class that is out of touch.
