Panto season has started early this year. an unelected parasitic, nonce-protecting King with 23 luxury residences including multiple palaces sits on a gold throne and reads out a list a measures from a unelected Prime Minister of a corrupt party on what they will do to continue supporting fascism, inequality,unaccountable power. while depriving the British people of their liberties, targeting the right to strike and protest. and destroying the planet. that will do nothing for the poor, the hungry or the homeless. It will never be not ridiculous that this guy sits there while wearing enough jewellery to make a large dent in solving health inequalities would they be sold .talking about the cost of living crisis for the rest of us. His crown travels in a separate car by the way. Utterly grotesque. Can this antiquated, antediluvian ritual of Kings Speech truly represent UK 2023. Anyone still believe we are living in a Democracy?
Ahead of the speech, anti-monarchy protesters gathered outside parliament with placards which read: "Not my king!". They could be heard booing the King as he left parliament for Buckingham Palace once he had delivered the speech. Campaign group Republic organised the anti-monarchy protest outside Westminster, Around 500 people turned up for the protest and a statement on Republic’s Twitter/X account said: “We’ve just told Charles that he’s not our King at the State Opening of Parliament! “500 republicans have today turned up to protest for democracy and the right to elect our head of state – thank you all for the amazing support.” Writing on Twitter/X, Republic CEO Graham Smith pointed out that the BBC had made no mention of the boos on its live blog.
The Kings Speech was an opportunity to set out a vision for the future: to bring down energy bills, cut emissions and restore nature. Nothing was said in the Kings Speech today about the severe hardship millions of families are facing.the cost of living crisis, energy costs NHS Crisis. poverty. Despite the emphasis on crime, there was no mention of the recent pro-Palestinian protests that have been taking place across the UK, and which Ms Braverman has described as "hate marches". Her controversial plans to restrict the use of tents for people who are homeless were also not raised by the King.The government is also continuing its attack on freedom of speech and expression through the Economic Activity of Public Bodies Bill. Uniquely shielding Israel from criticism amid allegations of war crimes in Gaza is deeply concerning. It is also clear mental health is not a priority for this Government. No mention of the Mental Health Act being reformed. To name just a few of the current serious issues. No investment, no help, and nothing was said about how the UK government plans to fix this. It’s not right that families are having to turn to food banks..
The King's Speech just served as a vehicle for Rishi Sunak to further his desperate pursuit of short-term political point scoring, at the expense of the public,The most vulnerable in society failed yet again. This is what Charles should have been said today," My government is full of crap, has run out of ideas, and lacks integrity, professionalism and accountability. A general election is what the people want and what the country needs.;" Hang on though where's the bloody opposition, The country;s fucked. .It's time to fight back and continue to question the relevance of the monarchy.
