Will affected counties bid for Independence after Environmental Agency states ‘Towns are more important’

imagesChairman Lord Smith, the head of the Environment Agency has said while agricultural land was important, government rules placed the highest priority on lives and homes

…..this involves tricky issues of policy and priority: town or country, front rooms or farmland?

Flood defences cost money; and how much should the taxpayer be prepared to spend on different places, communities and livelihoods – in Somerset, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, or East Anglia?

I’m sure this will kick start ‘independence for Cornwall’ and I’m sure many other areas may follow suit, as they all know that Westminster is London centric. The current flood situation due to the bad weather highlights that the hegemony of Westminster needs to be broken up and decentralised. Budgets should be given to local councils to manage their own affairs under the guidance of the local community.

Fuck me, no wonder we are screwed. I always believed that Royal Consent was one of those historic formalities that we all accepted because nobody believed that it really happened. Well it does. Under FOI it has been revealed that Royalty were consulted on changes to higher education, ID cards and paternity pay among other issues.

So all the talk of this country being a democracy, parliament for the people, is a fucking sham, Republic should now use this to further their campaign. The Tories are enough removed from reality in running the country let alone a bunch of parasitic leeches having to give their consent on policy.

 

Should sports people be expected to sing the national anthem if they believe the monarchy should die!

After all the fuss about Bradley Wiggins (it actually wasn’t him but Colm Quinn) and Piers Morgan, why should someone sing the national anthem that makes a statement about two aspects in the world that somebody may not believe in; God and the healthy and safety of the monarch.

As the bible is no longer the only thing that you can swear on in a court of law, surely you should be able to sing a different anthem if it’s not something you believe in. Being an atheist republican, or an anarchist doesn’t mean you are not proud of your country!

Calvin Mackenzie calls Republic demonstrators ‘looney tunes’ live on air

As Republic tried to put their point across that indifference doesn’t mean you love the Queen, Mackenzie simply dismissed them by arguing that because they have the right to protest means the Queen is great.

What an arrogant wanker, he tried to belittle the republic spokesperson, who unfortunately allowed himself to be drawn into a slagging match. Mackenzie, pleased with the fact he had stifled a debate he thought beneath him then went on to explain that the Queen is great because all the other countries love her.

Mackenzie gave a perfect performance to show our historic jingoistic and imperialistic nature.

All the radio had on last night was jubilee talk. The best line was ‘ the Queen is an excellent Queen because she says nothing and keeps out of politics’ – a perfectly good reason for the monarchy to go, not stay.

As for yesterday being a great success, it should be pointed out that Notting hill and gay pride attract similar numbers. Most big events in London attract large crowds that’s what makes it the best city in the world.

As for today, Madness were always a bunch of right wing cunts but performing on top of the palace is a new low. Perhaps they have lots in common with Prince Phillip. Anyway if Gary Barlow gets a knighthood after this expect concerts being curated by different people each year at the palace.

So much for balanced journalism

I expected that there would be blanket news coverage around the jubilee, but I also thought they may at least give a mention that there is opposition.

I asked a policemen at London bridge if he could tell me the way to the demonstration- he looked me up and down and grunted that it was down there, with a nod of his head. He didn’t look impressed.

At least I got onto London bridge station easily. I went to go into the entrance at Tooley street and was told it was now an exit only and I had to walk around. I looked at my stick and looked at him suggesting that he was having a laugh, and the police let me through all the ways that were ament to be exit only.

Oh the joys of having a walking stick.

Cameron lectures Eurozone as we spend millions – Fuck the Jubilee

Apparently the embankment is already six deep with people and it’s only 10:30. The weather isn’t smiling on the Queen and neither are thousands of other people, but I’m sure that the weather will get more of a mention that any protests today.

All bridges have been closed over the Thames to stop anyone going about their everyday business. Cameron has spent the last two weeks lecturing Europe on the need for austerity, spending isn’t the way out of recession, but as Europe switch on the tele today they will see just how to waste money. Fuck me it’s not like the royals can’t afford to pay for it themselves. Anyone who is a member of Republic should at least get two months wages untaxed as a result of this.

Sometime in history two anniversary’s coincide that may create another unique point of history. 100 years ago the Titanic sank – need I say more.

Yes I do – to the woman who poured scorn on my daughter for making a crown that said stuff the jubilee – it’s a shame that you don’t believe in free will, I feel sorry for your children!

Jubilee train breaks down & the economy shrinking is there a connection?

Yes – the fucking ‘God Bless Her ‘ Queen, a symbol for everything wrong in this country – priviledge, and staus based on tradition and wealth. The Queen gets her jubilee moniker stuck on the train and it doesn’t work, the Tories get their moniker stuck on the economy it doesn’t work.

It’s time for a change and that time is hopefully sooner then you think. I will be there on Sunday 3rd July 2012, joining the thousands, voicing dissent at the monarchy, at the Republic Demo; and I will be there on Saturday 16th June, joining the thousands voicing dissent at the traditional priviledged status that Cambridge has, at the Class War demo.

Come to both, all are invited.

The French don’t give a fuck – we should follow suit.

After those pictures of Pippa laughed with her friends whilst pointing a semi automatic weapon at a photographer, the French authorities are going to review the evidence and will probably proceed with custodial sentances. If it happened in this country I’m sure the PR people would state that they were only ‘joshing’ and any complaints would be by old ‘stick in the mud’s’. Boris and Cameron probably did this on a daily basis with the Bullington boys – whats the issue.

Not the French, a country renowned for beheading their royalty – off to the Basteille, off with her head, well maybe two years anyway. Could she cut a deal and implicate all of the royals – just whose gun was it I ask?

It reminds me, Republic are organising a protest against the Jubilee

Jubilee Protest – 3 June 2012

The Thames Pageant is the key event in the Queen’s jubilee celebrations. The pageant involves 1000 boats traveling in procession down the Thames from Putney to Tower Bridge, with the Queen and other members of her family on the lead boat. More information can be found on the Thames Pageant website.

We will be staging a major protest at the Tower Bridge end of the route, where banners and placards will be displayed and speeches will be made. This is a unique opportunity to make a bold statement about our opposition to the monarchy and to promote the republican cause.

Here are the details:

Date:

3rd June 2012

Time:

12 noon til 5pm, with speeches from 3pm. We’ll be there from mid-morning, so come and join us if you want to make a full day of it or want to help out.

Venue:

On the south bank of the Thames, between Tower Bridge and City Hall

Republic’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration……………and now fun can be had by all.

The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant is a flotilla of up to a thousand boats – headed by the Queen and senior politicians – which will travel along the river from Putney to Tower Bridge. The Pageant marks the 60th anniversary of the Queen assuming office as Britain’s head of state.

On behalf of Britain’s republicans, we’re organising a major anti-monarchy protest to greet the flotilla as it makes its way through central London. We expect thousands of republicans from across the country to attend the protest and demand the right to elect their head of state.

The Pageant protest will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 3rd June 2012 at a prominent riverside location in central London. Full details of the protest, including the exact location, times and other information will be posted here in early 2012.

As if us anti monarchists would be left out on such a great occassion.

Fuck the Jubilee.
