The royals’ need for secrecy…

Most members of the Royal Family gathered for ...

Image via Wikipedia

A little-noticed aspect of a current Parliamentary bill is an amendment to the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act. In short, the royal family’s communications with government will be completely excluded from the act.

How can we allow this to happen?

The so-called ‘royal family’ places itself at the head of our society without any true merit, and as a result of historic oppression and subjugation of the British people. They get however many billions every year from us but also sit upon tremendous wealth gained after centuries of unearned and undeserved privilege.
That wealth should belong to us – the people – not a bunch of eccentrics calling themselves ‘prince / princess’ this or the duke and duchess of never-neverland.

We certainly have the right to know – as their paymasters – what goes on behind the closed doors of the monarchy and the reality of its privileged, self-seeking little world.

The people who say ‘they only cost us tuppence a day’ are missing the point about the whole outdated concept of ‘kings’ and ‘queens’ – and this is why we’re stupid enough to let the ‘royals’ get away with it while we’re going through hardship, recession, unemployment and poverty. The notion of ‘royalty’ in the 21st century – or any other century – is obscene and morally disgusting.

I’d rather pay for a bunch of better-looking actors who could do it better and cost us less, if we want to hold on to the ‘pageantry’ and ceremonial duties they perform – supposedly in our name.

Facts about immigration…*

A migrant still arrives every minute, despite the government’s new ‘tougher’ controls.

We must build a new home every six minutes for new migrants.

England is already, with Holland, the most crowded country in Europe  (except Malta)

Immigration will add 7 million to the population of England in the next 24 years – that is 7 times the population  of Birmingham.

To keep the population of the UK below 70 million, immigration must be reduced by 70%. Government measures so far may reduce it by 12%.
