Wrong when I opined that no sooner would the Queen\u2019s funeral be over than the liberal lefties would be calling for the abolition of the monarchy. They started long before the funeral had taken place. Almost overnight, Arsebook and Twatter became a hot incestuous bed of anti-monarchist rants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And I was right. Right when I predicted that before the funeral was over, by hook or by crook the lefty media would have found a way of introducing examples of bedwetting woke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"215\" data-attachment-id=\"3420\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/woke-watch-pc-uk\/woke-watch-rz\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C880&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,880\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1617268053&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Woke Watch UK\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Keeping an eye on the UK Woke situation&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?fit=300%2C103&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?fit=625%2C215&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-3420\" alt=\"God Save the King! from woke!\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz.jpg?resize=625%2C215&#038;ssl=1\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C352&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C103&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C264&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C528&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C704&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C215&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=24%2C8&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=36%2C12&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?resize=48%2C17&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Woke-Watch-Rz-scaled.jpg?w=1875&amp;ssl=1 1875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>WOKE WATCH UK!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Who read the article about the \u2018young republican\u2019, ie one of those who constantly fantasizes about substituting the monarchy for an Obama head of state, who complained that during the official mourning period following the death of the Queen he was so very, very frustrated that he could not speak out on his favourite topic, abolishing the monarchy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I am sure there are many in the UK who empathise with him; who know, only too well, just how frustrating it is not to have a voice; who know how frustrating it is to live in a society in which globalist politicians and their neoliberal chums pontificate incessantly about the value of free speech but are painstakingly selective about what can be said and who does the saying. For example, try saying on Arsebook or Twatter, \u2018multiculturalism not in my name\u2019 and \u2018we do not need or want any more third-world migrants\u2019, without falling foul of foul-mouthed preachifying liberasts or even a visit from PC Plod in his role of political policeman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Obviously, the frustrated young republican ~ along with a handful of anti-monarchy protestors who were arrested under breach of the peace laws ~ are woefully lacking in social propriety, particularly with regard to the maxim, \u2018There is a time and place for everything&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mind you, it is hardly surprising. British schools these days are far too busy venerating Black Lives Matter and grooming the young in woke to teach fundamental traditional values such as respect, decorum and decency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"985\" data-attachment-id=\"7657\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/woke-and-hypocrisy-god-save-the-king\/copy-of-tradition\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copy-of-TRADITION.png?fit=800%2C1260&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Traditional values\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copy-of-TRADITION.png?fit=190%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copy-of-TRADITION.png?fit=625%2C985&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copy-of-TRADITION.png?resize=625%2C985&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Traditional Values Crucifix keeping Woke at bay.

Likewise, how beneficial it would be if young republicans were seen and not heard, at least until we could bear to listen or, even better still, if they were neither heard nor seen full stop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To be looked upon with less intolerance, wet-behind-the-ears wanna-be republicans and anti-monarchist banner bearers could do worse than take a leaf out of the Queen\u2019s good book and conduct themselves with the grace and dignity which during her long reign won her so many plaudits, unequalled enduring respect and enviable acclaim that stretched from John o\u2019 Groats to Timbuctoo and, with the exception of Loony Liberal Land, lots of places between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God Save the King!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Young republicans apart and ignored, it was inevitable, and hypocritical, that the state funeral for the queen would also attract a cabal of highly vocal whingeing, whining would-be armchair economists, who railed against the cost of the funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Indeed, the same article ~ the one that revolved around the poor \u2018young republican\u2019 ~ also cited a young woman (I need to be careful here, since the photograph of the person concerned left me in considerable doubt as to gender identity. It happens more and more, does it not?) who, describing \u2018herself\u2019 as \u2018staunchly anti-monarchy\u2019, professed not to understand how anyone could defend the financial commitment to the Queen\u2019s state funeral and the forthcoming coronation at a time when the UK\u2019s cost of living is soaring out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It\u2019s a great pity that she, and people like her (her?), do not feel it incumbent on themselves to ask how anyone can justify the cost of the state-sponsored migrant invasion and\/or raise Cain about the unbearable drain on the UK\u2019s public purse resulting from the indefensible policy of shipping arms to Ukraine whilst the NHS falls apart at the seams and every average person in the country ( I don&#8217;t include the political elite.) is scared to turn the heating on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"445\" height=\"630\" data-attachment-id=\"7654\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/woke-and-hypocrisy-god-save-the-king\/uk-public-purse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?fit=445%2C630&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"445,630\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"UK Public Purse Ukraine Costs\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Arms shipments to Ukraine are draining the UK public purse&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?fit=212%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?fit=445%2C630&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?resize=445%2C630&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Uk Public Purse Arms Shipments Ukraine\" class=\"wp-image-7654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?w=445&amp;ssl=1 445w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?resize=212%2C300&amp;ssl=1 212w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?resize=17%2C24&amp;ssl=1 17w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?resize=25%2C36&amp;ssl=1 25w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UK-Public-Purse-.png?resize=34%2C48&amp;ssl=1 34w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Between you and me and the gatepost (Ukrainegate), it is my considered opinion that it is not so much the monarchy as an institution or the cost of running it to which liberal lefties object, it is more to do with who the monarchy are in terms of their class, breeding and ethnicity. Or, to put it more succinctly, because they are white, have class, are properly educated and ~ guess what! ~ talk the Queen\u2019s English, not wot and Innit and high-five man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God Save the King!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sigh, I don\u2019t believe that the lefties will be satisfied until they have installed something in Buckingham Palace (which will then have to change its first letter from \u2018B\u2019 to \u2018F\u2019) that is lesbian, feminist and preferably darker than the Blackwall Tunnel at midnight during a total eclipse and power outage. Meanwhile, in Number 10, I suppose toxic white masculinity, if ever such a Herculian thing should occur there (no chance!), will have to give way to a mermaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Permit me to inform you that this glorious vision has inspired me to press on with my 21<sup>st<\/sup> century re-write, in accordance with the agenda of liberal-left revisionism, of the classic tale Robin Hood. Renamed Robin Hoody and set in Lambeth, it is a soap-operatic epic about Its and Others in rainbow tights (what else!) flouncing through Sherwood Forest (sink estate) giggling and squealing excitedly whilst hotly pursued by that most famous of 13<sup>th<\/sup> century celebs (given a mermaid makeover) the shirtlifting Sherriff of Nottingham.

It\u2019s a nice thought, and nicely put, but you forget that the media that pays your salary simply blinked for a moment. Once they remember to turn the fan back on, the sh*t will take flight as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But let\u2019s not sully what this same man from the media described as the \u2018most extraordinary, remarkable and moving event\u2019 that he had ever seen. He was, of course, referring to the Queen\u2019s state funeral, not the ill-timed and completely inexcusable anti-monarchy demonstration or the shirtlifting Sherriff of Nottingham transgendering around in his fibre-fit tights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And he was spot on. Not only was the state funeral executed with incredible dignity but with a choreographic excellence which had me breathing a sigh of relief when it was all over. It was simply astounding to calculate how many things could have gone wrong and didn\u2019t, and that includes the weather<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Nature, too, came out on the side of the Queen. It is reported that when the congregation emerged from the service at Westminster Abbey, the clouds parted and the sun shone through. Taken together with the double rainbow that appeared above Buckingham Palace just one hour before the Queen\u2019s death was announced, a more symbolic and befitting tribute is difficult to imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are a great many people from all walks of life ~ statesmen, actors, entertainers, poets, authors, singer-songwriters, even politicians ~ whom my generation and generations immediately prior to mine have been privileged to share our lifetime with. Sadly, most are gone.
