In England\u2019s Green and Pleasant Land<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

6 May 2023 ~ Charles III Big Day Sees Rural England go Flagtastic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t my intention to be in England during the coronation, even though I naturally received a personal invitation from the Palace to attend. I would have accepted, but I am rather busy at the moment sifting and sorting junk, or as I am often wont to call it, \u2018highly desirable antiques and collectables\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tell the truth, as there is neither a telly nor connection to the internet in the gaff where I am staying, if it hadn\u2019t been for BBC Radio 4 and the sudden inexplicable festooning of houses with Union Jacks and bunting, I may have been none the wiser. What\u2019s that you say? Am I joking about my personal invitation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles III Big Day Sees Rural England go Flagtastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has to be said that in spite of the British media\u2019s best efforts to mar the historic occasion with programmes and articles devoted to the as usual tedious and typically predictable leftist bleating to abolish the monarchy, it was most satisfying and inspiring as we winged our way through the last bastion of Englishness, the English countryside, to behold and admire the enduring support for the good old English monarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst liberal lefties throughout the land will not be satisfied until they have ousted the monarchy and installed in its place something sun-tanned of suspect gender preferably wrapped in a blanket and have stuffed the remaining rooms of Buckingham Palace with 8 million-pounds-a-day grinning illegal migrants (How much does the monarchy cost us? I\u2019ve heard it said a penny a day.) at which point in our country\u2019s decline, we will be forced to rename Buckingham Palace by changing the \u2018B\u2019 to an \u2018F\u2019, the miserable machinations of the country\u2019s self-culture loathers pale feebly into insignificance against the inspiring sight of flags and bunting streaming across the length and breadth of heritage-conscious rural England.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Royal Mint, pandering to the liberal myth of harmonic multiculturalism, may have slapped something really ridiculous on one of their 50 pence coins ~ a piece of woke for your pocket ~ but the real currency of a united kingdom is unequivocally that which is visibly and tangibly expressed in the pride that we take in flying our flag and its relevance to our heriditary monarchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is a pity that allegedly ‘King Charles has chosen the colours of the Ukrainian flag for his coronation’, (or so it has been Twattered) but the mentally stable amongst us (and there are still some left in the UK, honestly!) are quite capable of dismissing such folly as a 50-pence-piece worth of public relations. No doubt in the fulness of time it will also be revealed for the consumption of the liberal masses that throughout his coronation his royal highness’s royal underpants were LGBT monogrammed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst there are some things in life that do not bear thinking about, others exhilarate. Feast your eyes on the following photographs snapped by yours truly as I travelled recently through a small village in the heart of north Bedfordshire. What they could not fit on a 50 pence piece, they should inscribe on a note of more value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a good Coronation celebration weekend. God Save the King! God save us all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
