ROYAL ZOMBIES
(Comments: tony.papard@btinternet.com)
I'm talking about members of the British Royal family. They are brainwashed from cradle to grave, but they do presumably have brains and should be able to think for themselves. Very few of them ever do.
Now William has followed his brother Harry into the Army. When was the last royal who refused to join the Army on the grounds of conscientious objection? When was the last time the Queen, or her mother, refused to launch a Polaris or Trident nuclear submarine? Yet these nuclear missile submarines are totally illegal, target innocent civilians abroad, and would cause a Holocaust worse than any in history if ever used. In my book this makes the royals who launch them monsters willing to plan, prepare for and endorse genocide and atrocities worse than Hitler or any of the other war criminals in history. If these weapons are ever used, The Queen and other royals who launched these ships will have the blood of millions of innocent men, women and children on their hands. The Queen should just say: 'NO! I am NOT launching any more nuclear weapons submarines.' And if they won't let her say that publicly, she should abdicate. She should abdicate anyway, as nobody with any principles can believe in a hereditary monarchy, flaunting their ill-gotten, obscene riches in the face of the world's poor and starving.
They say the royals, and The Queen in particular, can't answer back or voice her own opinions. Why not? She has a tongue in her head, she can presumably send an email message or a letter. Even with the close vetting surrounding her I can't believe there are not ways she could get her opinions across if she really wanted to, however much they shook up the rest of the Establishment. At the very least, when standing there in front of the latest Trident submarine or its successor, instead of reading the words prepared for her and smashing the bottle on the ship's side, she could say: 'This ship is an obscenity, even the threatened use of its missiles is a heinous war crime, and I will not launch it or have anything to do with it!' She can't say she was 'only following orders', that's what the Nazis said. Is she Head of State or just a ventriloquist's puppet with words and actions performed by the Ministry of Defence, Foreign Office, etc.? When principles as important as this are concerned, everyone should have the freedom of conscience to speak their own mind. Or does the Queen not have a mind of her own?
The whole institution of monarchy is immoral, and totally lacking in any principles. Prince Charles has only modestly rebelled in saying he would like to be known as 'Defender of Faiths' rather than 'Defender of the (Christian) Faith'. What about atheists and agnostics? Can they be described as 'faiths'? Or other beliefs not based on faith?
Princess Diana, not a born royal, tried to instil some principles into the two princes. She tried to teach that they were no better than anybody else, and apparently made them queue up with real money in Marks and Spencer to pay for goods they bought. She of course launched her campaign against landmines, which ruffled so many feathers many think she was murdered by the Establishment. The Queen even told Diana's butler after she died to tread very carefully as there are powers 'which we know little about'. Now that was a veiled threat if ever there was one.
Get rid of this shower of parasites. They are sadly lacking in principles, worship money and privilege, think they are superior to everyone else, and and rarely, if ever, have the guts to rebel. If they can't think for themselves, what bloody use are they? Certainly they are not fit to be Head of State, or to act as a role model for anybody. They rarely challenge the status quo - too many of their privileges depend upon it. They only change the rules when it suits them. So Henry VIII established a new Church to get round the awkward taboo of divorce, and now the rules have been changed or bent again so Charles can marry Camilla. That's another thing - we all know some members of the royal family are gay, yet they are forced to marry. About time one of them had the guts to refuse, or to say they want a civil partnership with someone of the same sex.
