Criticism of Monarchy's parasitism and the hounding of so called "dole cheats." Comparison with Ireland's own social parasites the Ansbacher criminals.

The Queen and Ireland’s own brand of social parasitism.

Twenty-one gun salutes, a free concert for the great unwashed featuring such hip popsters as Cliff Richard and Phil Collins (ahem) and a nationwide recital of “All you need is love.”
The Queen’s Golden Jubilee.
It’d bring tears to a glass eye.
You’ll beg my pardon if, in the middle of these festivities, I temporarily lost the will to live.
You see some of us don’t believe in celebrating the legacy of such eminent mediocrities, who through sheer accident of birth, are born into luxury whilst others, with the odds stacked against them, are born into deprivation and despair. Indeed some of us regard the Monarchy’s inherited wealth and status to be theft of the most repulsive variety.
After all rarely a day goes by when we are not informed by the media of the epidemic of immigrants sneaking in here with every tide to steal our jobs, rob our welfare system and covet “our” women. And the government persues an official policy of promoting “snitching”, offering rewards for people to inform on family and friends, who are committing the barbarous crime of (wait for it) “social security fraud.” In this same year as the Queen visited the North of this island, a friend of mine was informed on for committing that most heinous of sins; “doing the double.” Imagine taking our taxes to waste away on such luxuries as making sure their children don’t starve to death and expanding the pathetically meager minimum wage. Public flogging and disembowelment are too good for the proles. And yet it seems not all fraudsters are condemned so.
For if this year has taught us anything it is that the real parasites of society such as the monarchy, those who siphon away our hard earned cash, are not condemned but are applauded by a state, whose hypocrisy is astounding.
The Queen’s private wealth was estimated last year as £1.15 billion (not including her palaces). Broken down that includes £61 million of property, £3.6 million worth of racehorses, stamps worth £102million, £72million’s worth of jewels, a million pounds worth of furs, £7.1million’s worth of cars, wine worth £2million etc etc. The so-called “dole cheats” and immigrants just aren’t ambitious enough. Most importantly the queen gets massive handouts from public funds; last year her "official" expenditure, funded by you and I, was £35 million, on top of the £7.9 million a year she receives directly from public funds on the "civil list".
It’s not just the queen who is guilty of the theft of our wealth; Prince Charles has a personal fortune of around £346 million, the Queen Mother was worth around £53 million when she died recently (for which no inheritance tax will be paid), Prince Philip is worth £28 million, Prince William possesses £22 million and Harry has “appropriated” £25 million of our cash. Even the Earl and Countess of Wessex, who were forced to "retire" from their business ventures having been accused of corruption, will get £249,000 a year from public funds via the "civil list" and will still live at their 57-room Surrey mansion which costs the public £250,000 a year to maintain.
Furthermore the Golden Jubilee is also the fiftieth anniversary of the Queen’s deal with then Prime Minister Winston Churchill (incidentally a man who once proposed in a government white paper that “100,000 moral degenerates be sterilized and forced into labour camps”) to ensure that she is the only person in the country able to reclaim tax on dividends and interest from investments in British companies.
This has netted her around £1 billion of money that should have went into our hospitals, schools and jobs.
And yet those who so proudly bankrupt our society, those who have not done a single days work, are heralded by fanfares and union jack bunting.
Far be it from me to suggest that the money could be better spent, for example maybe it could ensure that pensioners don’t freeze to death in their homes in the winter. Or maybe they could ensure that when we wear our fingers to the bone we’re worth more than £4 an hour. Or maybe they could even use it to ensure that our trains stay on their tracks. Just suggestions of course.
It’s not just simply a question of wealth for there is also the moral principle that seeks to justify the sickening distinction of one human being over another, or in this case millions of people.
It was not by any democratic means that the monarchy assumed power, for the royal ancestors were the slave traders, the warlords and unfortunately the historians of these lands who seized power by force, bribery and deceipt and then legitimised their crimes with such falsehoods as divine god-given rights to power.
And far from being the sort of characters who could set an example the royal family are totally bereft of any morals. Prince Philip is the most vocal exponent of the royal family’s notorious xenophobia; in 1986 he told British students in China, “If you stay here much longer you’ll all be slitty eyed,” in 1999, when touring an Edinburgh electronics factory, he pointed to a fuse box which had wires spilling out of it and said, "It looks as though it was put in by an Indian" and this year on the jubilee world tour in Australia he insulted an aboriginal leader by asking, "Do you still throw spears at each other?" Comments that would make even the half-wits in the BNP, DUP or the Progressive Democrats blush.
But far from Philip being an eccentric exception it emerges that the entire royal family is rotten to the core. Princess Margaret, the queen’s sister stormed out of a screening of the anti-Nazi Holocaust film Schindler's List, describing it as a "tedious film about Jews". When visiting Chicago she philosophised to the Irish-American mayor that the Irish were "pigs-all pigs" and once gave the esteemed verdict that she hated "little brown people" from India. Even the deceptively innocent Queen Mother used to describe black people as "nig-nogs" as well as opposing all forms of immigration, commenting that black people were incapable of self-determination, supporting the South African Apartheid regime and expressing her admiration for Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
It is no surprise that Hitler himself adored the royal family and was prepared to ensure their survival if and when he should invade Britain. They’d have got on like a house on fire for the royals are no less than the physical embodiment of all that is abhorrent in humanity.
The question arises, why should we accept a hypocritical system, which victimizes those fleeing from poverty and persecution and hounds those who dare to try to put bread on their tables, and at the same time encourages the vast crimes of tax evasion committed by big business and gives a standing ovation to the parasitism that is the monarchy?
This year has also proved that social parasitism is by no means a solely British establishment phenomenon. In the south of Ireland the Ansbacher report has concluded that there is nothing less than an institutionalized system of robbery that has deprived our schools and hospitals of millions of pounds that were diverted into the bank accounts of the rich. Of course some of us confused the law for justice, for a second there, and thought perhaps these people should actually be punished. But this is Ireland and sure it’s all just a bit of craic. One thing is undoubtable; in Ireland and Britain, as in a sewer, the real filth floats to the top.
