Long to Reign Over Us.
Jubilee
Congratulations to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth on achieving the milestone of 60 years devoted service. Sixy years ago a young woman was high up in an African tree watching the wildlife, when many miles away her father passed away, beginning the reign of one of the most devoted heads of state the world has known. Even during her early days, with the death of her father still so fresh, she quickly established her determination to serve, and is still doing so into her late 80′s.
As human as the rest of us I’m sure she has made mistake, although I can’t think of any! some will say she put duty before family as they grew up, usually the same voices who criticised her for putting family first when Diana died. I certainly can’t see how a president Wilson, Blair, Thatcher, or Johnston would have tread the diplomatic path so carefully over the years or added to the alure of the country that still makes London the greatest city on earth.
I am looking forwards to the official celebrations in June, with street parties, dinners, services and the like all happening locally. Any excuse for a party as the saying goes, but I think this one is well worth marking.
Long may she continue to reign.

Given that her reign has witnessed the greatest loss of British territory in history and the abandonment of national sovereignty to the same people who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of her late father’s subjects I’m not so sure there’s much to celebrate for a British patriot.
Sorry harry you seem to be a bit confused.
History tell us that it was her father’s troops who done the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands, and even with their better weapons and technology were still beaten by those who fought for freedom in their own country against the colonial power.
there’s plenty of books on the subject at the library, or you could look at the latest revelations coming out of Africa.

I’m pretty sure Harry means Germany, the Bundesbank, and WW2. It’s amazing the way the worst crisis of the 20th Century is almost invisible to republicans.
And since Lizzie’s dad only ruled from 1936 to 1952 you must have had to squint really hard to miss WW2.
I hope you aren’t hankering after the military option? It really didn’t work out as well as you seem to think – especially locally.
The Germans are holding British Territory since ww2 where!
The Bundesbank killed 100’s of 1000’s when!
Wonderful how Unionists can miss the whole loss of empire thing.
And how did you get the strange notion that I’m hankering after he militarily option,
Reader
Harry said “her reign has witnessed the greatest loss of British territory in history and the abandonment of national sovereignty to the same people who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of her late father’s subjects ”
I believe her reign started after ww2. but dont you let the facts disturb you
I’m not sure carl is getting the hang of this history thing ?
Long live HM THe Queen.

you mean her reign started before ww2, my god all the history books are wrong.

Precisely – her late father’s subjects died between 1936 and 1952, mostly at the hands of the Germans. The loss of territory happened after the war. National sovereignty has been lost to the EU from the component countries, as the Irish have noticed recently.
Harry Flashman said
“I’m not so sure there’s much to celebrate for a British patriot.”
by the why Harry is spot on with this bit
There is no such statute, but British constitutional law does not require statutes, merely precedent.
There wasn’t a precedent when Cromwell did it, so did that make it illegal ?
Reader i refer you again to Harrys post.
Given that her reign has witnessed the greatest loss of British territory in history and the abandonment of national sovereignty to the same people who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of her late father’s subjects I’m not so sure there’s much to celebrate for a British patriot.
As im sure you can see he refers to the present monarch’s reign so there goes your argument on territory,and i think that comparing the E.U to Adolf and his crew may well be a example of Godwins law and also quite offensive to modern germany, france, and the rest of the EU.
and excuse me but did the germans not take over when one of her ancestors got the job.
So reader just before I go out lets summarise.
You said
“I’m pretty sure Harry means Germany, the Bundesbank, and WW2.
You have finally admitted that the territory lost during her reign was due to the various wars of liberation and the fall of empire and not the Second World War.
And you also said
“National sovereignty has been lost to the EU from the component countries, as the Irish have noticed recently.”
I trust you also now understand the difference between the E.U. and the nazis and while you may oppose the concept of a European union, I’m sure you can agree that it has not killed 100’s of 1000’s of British subjects.
It would appear that you’re not as sure as you thought you were.
H.G.
How am i doing on the history thing now?
“…while you may oppose the concept of a European union, I’m sure you can agree that it has not killed 100’s of 1000’s of British subjects.”
Not yet, but give it time. It is a territorially expansionist regime, and will undoubtably persue its expansionist agenda by militant means when it forms its own army.
By that time the UK will be just another region of the EU and will have to supply its citizens in military service of the EU, so you’ll become involved in its wars whether you want to or not.
There wasn’t a precedent when Cromwell did it, so did that make it illegal ?
All revolutions are illegal at the time.
‘How am i doing on the history thing now?’
Abysmal.
You’ve had umpteen tries of trying to comprehend Harry’s post,and you STILL haven’t grasped it.
Reader spelled it out for you,sweetly and succinctly,and you STILL don’t get it.
Ho hum. I retire to bed in the knowledge that The Union is safe,if this is the extent of irish republican ‘deep thinking’.
Alias,it’s a bankrupt regime,whose idea of expansionism is casting costly countries adrift.|
The EU Rump will consist of Germany and France………..I give that particular Union about two weeks.
Holy sheeite, Carl, you over-analyse too much, trust me the post wasn’t meant as a doctrinal thesis in comparative global perspectives. It was a slightly sardonic piece masking a bigger point meant to get a rise out of a few readers.
You parsed and analysed it half a dozen times and yet you still utterly failed to get it. Do I really need to go through it line by line with you?
Everyone else seemed to understand what I was alluding to.
What price would royalists put on the worth of the Queen?
Harry
Your post was inaccurate and to be honest appeared to be pampering to the worst type of wrap the flag round me patriots,
The everybody else you referred to was as far as i can see two people, one of whom was just trolling as is his wont.
The casual comparison of the E.U to the Nazi’s was to be honest sick.
Perhaps in future when you come out with this sort of thing to be on the safe side you should use some sort of sign to let us know not to take you seriously.
Jesus Carl, get a life son.
Harry
take a good look at the sort of person that supports you, and you may consider getting a life.
im sorry you have taken this personaly but it is a blog for debate, maybe next time you will think before you post.
Harry lad,
forgetting the Jerries for now, most of the empire was gone by 1952, the only chunks left were in Africa, ( South Africa Lybia & Egypt had already gone too) and by then it was a question of how and when the rest were ditched, not if. It wasn’t much of an Empire for the young lass, but then she has never been an Empress.
A fair chunk of the West Indies, Africa and don’t forget Asia was still in British hands in ’52, although in population terms losing India was probably the biggest blow to the Empire and she can’t be blamed for that.
However, and now we must get all po-faced in case I upset Carl (by the way what’s wrong with the people who “support” me? I didn’t realise I had any supporters). The signing over of huge tranches of sovereignty to “Europe” is certainly a very serious blot on her copybook. HM the Q is very adamant about how seriously she takes her coronation oath, handing over the rights and liberties of her subjects to foreign control was not part of that oath.
Carl I take very little personally on this blog (with a few very serious insults to my family), I frankly don’t understand why my harmless wee post upset you so, but you know what? I’m a big guy, I’m sorry if it bothered you.
Obviously not all The Queens subjects share the same views of her.

If you could just take responsibility for your own inability to comprehend a post carl,all would be well.
An apology to my good self,Reader and Harry wouldn’t go amiss either.
Harry,I’m not sure HM the Q had much say in the giving away of sovereignty to the EU,as I’m sure you know.
