Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I was in Windsor yesterday and the 'Queens Own Irish Guards', are in residence in Windsor Castle at the moment.
They are there to 'protect their Queen'.....
How Empire convinces itself and satisfies itself that their underlings are contented with their dominance. There is nothing less ignorant than seeing the so called..'Irish'.guards..protecting that which the Irish have opposed for more than 800 years.
Is she also naked and no one is brave enough to tell her?...who knows ?
The irony is that , on the side wall of the barraks is an enormous advertisment looking for new recruits, while the local watering hole (and I mean hole) is kept buisy with keping the returned troops drunk who cant re-adjust to civilian life, and not killing civilians on a daily basis in Afghanistan. Good kids im sure they were...misled as they always are by the notion of patriotism by genocide for the same 'Queen' in residence in Windsor Castle.. The kill rate in Afghanistan is 1,000 to 1. Theyre wiping out village after village from the air with no restraint. They are trained to say when they kill kids that they 'thought' iit was 'enemy combattants'....'that way you can avoid warcrimes ......'your perception is all that matters'. 'on the ground'...says one 'trainer'.
Let the little old lady come to our country and when she arrives, let the world know by our protests how unwelcome she is on our island. The world media will carry the message that Ireland is still under British rule and we must ensure that Granny Lizzie takes the message home from Ireland. Brits- get out of Ireland.
"How Empire convinces itself and satisfies itself that their underlings are contented with their dominance."
You are not seriously suggesting that this peaceful powerless "Figurehead" old lady is here to "Do the Irish in"?
You MUST be having us on Paul?
.
This 'peaceful poewerless' 'LADY', as you describe the british monarch is anything but..
She is no lady, nor any of the other things you describe. She sits atop her empire, commonwealth (now theres a notion to prove my assertion being contested by pete) or whatever name you choose to put on it.
You must be from the kevin Meyers school of journalism where the British graced this planet with their loving hand of friendship.
She is a figurehead all right, but she is and stands for so much more. Figureheads serve a greater purpose than you are capable of knowing if you describe her as 'powerless'.
Either way, she represents all that the Irish have suffered for centuries and you welcome her here???. She is not welcome without retribution.
QE 2 has the notional power to dismiss a British Prime Minister; it has never been used. But her rep, the Governor General, did dismiss a left wing Australian Prime Minister in the 1970s. This is a power which could be used, for example, against a PM who proposed disengagement for the six counties.
