A Fascist Régime — God Save The Queen
As most of the UK builds up to so many street parties to celebrate the 70 years reign of Queen Elizabeth and a ‘generous’ extra-statutory day off, which of course businesses will have to pay for, and the State will receive tax revenues from that day’s holiday pay, we are all supposed to doff our caps, tug our forelocks, take the knee, and curtsy in gratitude. Forgive me if I don’t join in.
I’ll take any holidays they deign to give me, and I’ll sulk a little and sit in the corner of my local bar, but I won’t be joining in celebrating the existence of the monarchy in my country. It is all part of the establishment plot that is designed to make us plebs know our place in society.
I deliberately turned that headline around from the lyrics of the old Sex Pistols hit and send-up, I quote “God Save The Queen, a fascist regime.” We are at this moment in the grip of a near fascist government run by a lying Prime Minister, proven by his being the first Prime Minister to be handed a criminal fine whilst in public office, and overseeing his own office staff having parties during a lockdown, that he and his cronies wrote the law about.
