If you
read about the history of the royals in this country, you will learn
that these people are better suited for the Jeremy Kyle show than
they are for adoration from the mindless ones. They have lived their
lives being told how wonderful they are, when most of them couldn't tie their
own shoe laces. If you take issue with what I'm saying, just read the
facts. Those that weren't homicidal maniacs were usually corpulent
deviants, while most of them had the IQ of the average grated carrot.
Yet they are still worshipped, not only here but around the world. I
think this has more to do with the present Queen having the foresight
to see that after the last war they might become surplus to
requirements, so she has done one hell of a PR job on "royal PLC" to
ensure they stay.
Last
week, the letters sent by Prince Charles putting pressure on politicians to
comply with his wishes were published, They proved for me what I have
long believed, which is that the royals still run this country. I know we
have lobbyists trying to get views heard in Parliament, and on the
whole I have no problem with this. Though it is open to abuse, and is
abused by big multi-nationals. The way of lobbying does need to
change, but it is still a way of people to have their voices heard by
the government. But Charles just expects his wishes to be carried
out, and if not...?
If you
have read any of my blogs before (thank you) you will know that I am
no fan of the two 'R's' Royals and religion. Here in Britain they go
together, as old queenie is the head of the church here. These people
are given far too much money by the state, and for the life of me I
cannot understand why. I don't understand the purpose of them. Don't
give me the tourism argument as this, like the religion they are the
head of, is an unproven belief, and a very, very feeble reason! When
you get people who have no grasp of what real life is like, have
never had to pay a bill, have never had any need to work, telling
people how to live, it is too much for a rational mind to take.
I know
people who have three jobs and still can't make ends meet. I have
met some very intelligent young people who can't break away from the
cycle of poverty and the mindset that holds them there. Which is the
reason for this blog. Son of Charles has had his say on how we should
live this week!
Harry wants to bring back national service! Good old Harry! He says the
army made a man of him and saved him... BOLLOCKS! He left one of the
top schools in the country with a 'C' in art and a 'D' in geography,
then went in to the army. Now if I had gone into the army at his age
with his qualifications my title would have been 'come here you
little shit!' or 'private' as the more gently spoken ones call it. He
went in to be one of the highest ranking officers in the army. That
must have pissed off real soldiers that have served in some of the
worst conditions known and had to work their way up the ladder.
I know
Harry did two tours of duty out in Afghanistan, but he was surrounded
with security at all times and if it looked like the shit was going
to hit the fan he would have been moved out of there quicker than
lightning. From what the real soldiers say about his time there, he spent most of his time on Facebook etc, and was only seen
out and about when the cameras were rolling. I don't know if this is
true, but I bet you my house that he did not live out there like the
other soldiers had to.
I
have no doubt that for the first time in his life he had a chance to
bond with others, as royals only really get the chance to meet 'real
people when they are serving in the army, but they don't really get
to know what real friendship is. I have no doubt that he thought that
the army changed the lives of the men serving under him, of this. You cannot face the dangers they faced on a daily
basis with men you have to trust your life to without changing as a
person, but National Service?
Is he
talking about the super-rich being compulsorily taken away from their
lives and families to undergo rigorous training and beastings, as the
army calls it? Or is he talking about working class youngsters who
already live their lives like that, being used as cheap labour? We
are already cutting the size of our army because the banks need more
tax breaks. We have the poorest and most vulnerable in society being
made scape goats for the inadequacies of governments, and having
benefits slashed, so where's the money for this coming from? If it is
about getting young people to work for nothing, then it's no different
to what happens now. Job centres telling people they must work for
nothing at supermarkets etc or get their benefits cut.
Why not
invest money in education and training, get industry back on its feet
and give some dignity back to people? Give them a chance to get out of
poverty by their own means. Stop this mindless punishment of people
who are just victims of circumstance. Take away the state-given
wealth of the royals and lets see how many good ideas they have about
how to change society when they have bills to pay and mouths to feed
and NO FUCKING MONEY to do it with!
I know
that my parents' generation had to do national service and 87% of them
thought it was a positive thing to happen to them (the other 13% were
probably rich) but that was a different era. Spike Milligan wrote in
his memoirs that most of the young working class men looked back on
the last big war as a time of excitement and adventure. 'How else
would a young working class lad get a chance to travel the world?'
which is one way of looking at it I suppose. The fact that lots of
those who came back alive, including Milligan, suffered from mental
illnesses for the rest of their lives didn't seem to bother him. The
world is a different place from the 'forties, but who's to say we have
moved on since then?
It is
no good forcing people to do National Service, only to send them back
to poverty and no hope at the end of it. This will not spur them on
to greater things, only piss them off more!
