I can assure you that the English will vote for this pathetic lot. We already voted for genociders; why not fascists?!

But we already have. We now live in a fascist state. The definition of Fascism is when Business,Politics and Faith are one. Well the Christian Religion as the established State Faith has been replaced by NHS worship. The NHS is now our national religion. The plan is to streamline 'education' as training for the needs of Employers,and obviously MONEY runs the show,that's nothing new but the links are hidden and a LOT is going on we are not being informed of.

The more people like yourself call out the Musketeer and The Trumpeter the better our World will , Celebrity this will be a Word that our future Generations will never comprehend and if the shows these nonentities made their fortunes on still exist in the future our Children of the Future will look upon us as absolute morons and try and fathom out why the normal persons Life was so Terrible that they treated Fake Tanned illiterate Con merchants like Gods and Goddesses. I can only hope the Future Humans have common sense and a will to make life Tolerable even Good for all Humans not just a couple of handfuls of OBSCENELY RICH persons I will not use the Term Human to describe these evil creatures because they are not Human if they were Humans they would put some of their Fortunes to good causes not WAR and Slaughter to add to their already glutinous Bank Accounts this would be money They their Families and their Families and eons into future families could ever spend in all their lifetimes. I feel I must ask the question about The British Establishment and the People who Govern us, Why do we the People through our Tax System Pay fortunes to keep A Figurehead and all the offspring and their offspring so on and forevermore who are the largest Land Owners in Britain with Castles and Palaces the length and breadth of the British Isles and all the Pomp and Ceremony which goes with this antiquated nonsense also all the Governments I have had the displeasure to survive with it has not been a Life it has been at times an ordeal at best and sheer drudgery at worst the Working Class People SURVIVE they do not have a Decent LIFE. Now all the aforementioned Governments since 1952 I was born into Poverty and 73 years later I am still existing in Poverty and this situation I find myself in is the Reward from The British Establishment and all the Governments from 1952 up to 2025 I was in the fields at age eight weeding then through time moving up to tattie howking then operating the muck shaking machinery I went to school when I could but keeping a roof and food on the table was more important my education came from the old worthies I worked with and later in my life drank with guys who had fought in the Trenches and WW2 some of them fought in both anyway I worked all my life until 65 paid all my taxes and NI never had a penny in dole money to be treated like a Scrounger for receiving a PENSION I paid into from age 16 the Government’s since Thatcher who I mistakenly thought was the WORST ever have been Tyrants. “The Working Class People Are Their Own Worst Enemy”

Hi Laura,

I apologize (sorry again, `apologise,' you're British; I must wake up, smell the coffee, and pay attention). Nevertheless, there is `God Save the King.' Did any English punk band ever say `God fuck the Queen.' Her Royal Highness (H.R.H. - quite modern since King Charles justifiably uses HRH, too - (nongender yet accurate) logically just like her father. The punker Nancy was outrageous, no thanks to Sid; both were their own persons. Yet, I can fault English culture for Nancy's abuse and therefore, Sid, Nigel, Churchill, Northumbria, Yorkshire, and London naysayers. Protect women. How hard is it to leave women in peace (not piece you psycho yankers. You don't know we're watching)? Goddess Brigante (Bridget), I fear Laura, she shan't make it.

Sincerely,

Eochaidh OghaChruithne

Brilliant. Brilliant. You are a trooper for the bizarre and terrible truths of our time. Not only this, but rather than dragging us down with the severity of it all, you lift your readers by delivering the truth with wit and style.
