We oppose the royal family. All this publicity to ‘celebrate the royal wedding’, it rubs us up the wrong way. We hate it. But in the press there’s no reasons coming out as to why people hate the royals.
Here’s why we’re against them.
We often hear how the monarchy have no power, they’re just figureheads. Fuck off. They have more power than me or you, how many doors do you think the name Windsor can open for you? Clegg’s been moaning about sharp elbows recently, well the royals have got diamond tipped razors on their elbows.
Apparently their power is meaningless. Balls. It’s her majesty’s courts, her majesty’s prison service, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary, her majesty’s armed forces. Even her majesty’s government. And finally us, Her majesty’s subjects.
If you want to have a good look at who controls British society look at the honours lists. Look at the awards handed out from her majesty. Yeah sure there are a few youth workers from Hackney, a dustman from Peckham but the rest are the rich, the powerful. Everyone eventually succumbs, even our cultural rebels; the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, all have bowed in submission to Her. Even Mr Rotten of Pistols fame declared his disappointment at not being invited to play the queen mum’s birthday.
They act as a symbol for conservative values, the family. Blue blooded presiding over all. But it’s all a front, them preaching family values when it’s clear even from a glance that Harry isn’t Charles spawn, the duke’s a racist idiot, and Charles didn’t even have the sense to stop waving as a mob surrounded his car and started booting in the doors last year in London. Diana holds a soft spot in this country’s heart. I like her because she was the only one with enough sense to run like fucking mad from this psychotic family.
The monarchy is the cement that holds the bricks of state together in British society. When you talk about removing it you’re not spoken to seriously. There’s no debate about republicanism, you might get a quick “well the tourists love it” (a bizarre reason to keep a form of rule from the dark ages)
But for the most part you’ll just be called a party pooper, spoiling all the fun.
The fun? People bowing down to this mad shit. We look to the middle east for inspiration, the removal of unelected heads of state that no one thought would fall. Not one person in WAG has ever lived under any rule other than that of her majesty Liz 2. She has been at the centre of state and government for nearly 60 years, we want her gone.
But us wanting her gone is different from what’s being expressed in the name of “anarchy” throughout the mad papers.
The high points so far have been in the Sun and the Standard, where we hear tales of 40,000 anarchists planning to attack the wedding backed up by soldiers. Protesters mingling with families and waiting to attack. This is all bullshit seeping out into the press from the Bolshevik Chris Knight’s camp.
And of course this has fuck all to do with Anarchy.
Some of the biggest lies in the press come from a source from the Standard, a builder, ex-soldier and ‘black bloc’ member revealing all in a shock horror Katie Price-esque story. Scaring the British public with his carrying of a gas mask, catapult and hammer with him on protests.
We have been aware of this guy for a while – we were suspicious of him after we found he was posting about “infiltrating” us on the EDL forums. This confused individual has found himself as confidante to prankster Professor Knight: both of whom have been more than willing to collaborate and fulfil the mainstream media’s hysterical spin. We don’t know whose agenda he’s pushing forward, but it certainly isn’t an anarchist one.
Some of us will probably be out on the day, but not in an official WAG capacity, more to witness the surreal madness of people weeping at the sight of two boring ugly people being chained together in holy matrimony. But a lot of us won’t be there, and couldn’t give less of a shit, why get yourself nicked when all our forces are going to be needed on May 14th to disrupt the right wing gathering under the Rally Against The Debt name. We pick and choose when to come out on the streets and make a nuisance of ourselves, not having the media or police dictate our actions.

haha i don’t know whats funnier;
the police taking Chris Knight seriously
or the thousands of people who would probably die to defend the royal wedding
at least we get the day off!
Loved the rant. Made my day. Keep up the fight.
If nothing else, might be worth coming out to expose the fact that the murderous Bahraini royal family are on the guest list. Doesn’t surprise people like us that murdering peaceful protesters in their sleep gets you invited to the royal wedding, but might surprise some of the british public.
I think, though, that the Windsor clan could profitably learn from what happened to the Nepalese royal family. Either William or Harry could do the decent thing with a borrowed SA80…
Well like my Rasta sistren back home said when she heard about the student riots and the Charles-and-Camilla incident: “it is written that the children of gog and magog shall destroy them…” 🙂
I hate the royals always have but i think protesting against it is just pointless and will result in the police given more powers against protesters
In other words hate them but do nothing about it
Agree, May the 14th, leave the soppy royals to it
The Royals are just an embarrassing symptom of the system. Anyone with half a brain knows that if the monarchy disappeared tomorrow nothing else would change for the better. They are just not important.
It is my humble opinion that people should start loudly making that point unless they want the news agenda to be constantly set by a tiny group of attention seeking morons. Having said that if you’re quite happy to have your door kicked in for no apparent reason then just do nothing…
If they disappear tomorrow…
But they won’t just up and run, will they? The last time people thought they’d seen the back of the monarchy, lo and behold eleven years later they were back. Part of the greater revolutionary change will be the abolition of the monarchy, preferably in a way which means that they won’t be back.
In fact, the importance of the monarchy can be in part gauged by the amount of unseemly fuss which is being made about this wedding. If they aren’t important to you, the message is being spread that they are important to a lot of other people. Given that two attention seeking morons are getting hitched in a couple of weeks time and that they are getting all the airplay they desire, I think it’s fair to say that the media agenda’s been well and truly set.
Why are you going to disrupt the rally against debt? Don’t they have a right to protest too?
I don’t agree with them but why not let them be heard too? Fair’s fair in my opinion.
I’m not persuaded you can tell the difference between a protest and a provocation.
If no ones going to protest the royals anyway, why not let it turn into a media frenzy that blows up in the royal fami£ys faces. like, if this chris knight guy is a wingnut, let the state overreact and reveal how they are chasing phantoms and marxist professors and strange anonyous media loving anarchists. the only way a situation like this would benefit the police and the state is if zombies who follow these public figures (anarchy-dad, professor, etc), do something because the person on the screen told them to. Also, isnt there something in the Art Of War about meeting the enemy where you would like, and not where they would like. anyway, let wingnuts wing their nuts. if its bluster its bluster.
That’s not really an answer. I presume they’re showing their support for measures to reduce the deficit. I don’t think they’re trying to start a running battle around London to see who cares most about their opinions.
There is no way their march will be as big as the TUC one so all it will do is confirm that more people disagree than agree with them. And surely that is the way to show support; this is country of one person one vote so it’s about numbers not about who can shout the loudest.
Great picture. The Standard article is comedy gold, but I wouldn’t insult that “confused individual” too much though. I hear he does martial arts!
Personally, I have plans to renounce (overseas) British citizenship. I will also be circulating compromising pics at the request of the Crown, on the provided schedule. Will start this Easter weekend, until censors intervene;-)…. Any takers?
Meanwhile, dig that most disturbing caricature you guys posted…will also flag it out there with you.
Excellent, yet horrific picture of ‘ol Queenie.
Strangely, I can’t stop looking at it…
Having seen the wedding, crowds and celebrations I think it’s safe to say without fear of contradiction…………EPIC FAIL FUCKTARDS! You’d have been torn limb from limb by the flag-waving crowd if you’d tried to pull any of your childish bullshit anyway. God save the Queen.
we said we werent going there dickhead…did you read the post?
im a yank so feel free to tell me to fuck off…i have come to see the error of my ways in being brainwashed growing up about the Royal Family…americans, tourists and those who only watch from home are fascinated by the royal family, my english friends either hate them or could give a fuck and laughed when i even said i was getting up early to watch with my sons…i happen to be a history buff, so that is my interest, but i agree it’s disgusting how much wealth and power is controlled by this strange group of inbreds…however, will anything change or do you substitute one form of tyranny and one set of shackles for another?? the american govt and our economic system is as corrupt and unjust…hence why the Occupy movement has gained such momentum…i dont know what the answer is, it’s all extremely fucked up…
