I completely agree with your sentiment, I don't like the gloating. I didn't even like it when the Americans were dancing in the street when OBL was killed. It instinctively feels wrong and contemptible.

However, I can't forgive this family for their silence whilst the paradise and people she swore an oath to protect has been abused, defiled, and insulted at every turn for 70 years plus.

The royal family have never even acknowledged Rotherham, not even a whimper, yet whenever a fashionable BAME cause has been put before them they practically fall over each other to endorse it. It's just not acceptable, it is unforgivable in 2022.

I try to remain optimistic for the future though, perhaps with the final loss of this link to the England of old, we may rediscover ourselves and reassert ourselves accordingly.

The Queen is dead, long live England.

I'm no fan of OBL but I still cannot get over that they flew into another country, killed people, dumped the body in the sea.

Oh I know there's "reasons" but aren't they meant to be the "good guys". Breaking all kinds of international law is OK if they say so? A bit like their buddies in... you know... that middle Eastern country that nobody mentions.

Maybe I'm wrong here, just saying what I feel.

There is something unutterably low about taking naked, animal delight in the misfortune of another. I'm reading the Aubrey-Maturin series at the moment and am struck by the "strictly business, nothing personal" nature of how the British and French officers behaved toward one another when in captivity. Wined, dined, treated as gentlemen, seldom abused. Officers would even be released from captivity on parole if they promised not to engage in actions against their captor - and these promises were kept.

The sharp division between the work of fighting and the preservation of the enemy's humanity is uniquely European. The informal Christmas peace during WWI is an example of how incredible slaughter was tempered with charity. It is a higher standard of humanity, and what man could be against higher standards? How does any dissident expect to draw allies to his banner and carry the burden of leadership if he continually demonstrates himself to be no better than a beast?

Earlier today, I commented on a YouTube video by the prolific History Debunked, that I thought it was ‘inappropriate’ to spit bile on a 96 year old dead woman, barely cold. I was then asked ‘why it was inappropriate?’ and told that ‘Joe Public would not be spared similar criticism’....possibly....One thing that is emerging, is that leftist abuse of the Queen is triggering a nationalist reaction in normies. It’s like the Queen’s death has pierced the bubble of their delusion. They can now be in no doubt as to what these ‘multi-culturalists’ really think of us. In the coming months however, I fear the Queen’s death will be used to impose a spirit of ‘pulling together for her Majesty’; any authentic spark of anger at the forces that have led the country to this dreadful place, will be extinguished.

ah yes old Simon. red-pilled and outspoken on all matters, save the one that's the main source of our ills...

Absolutely and yet again, just yesterday, made another video refuting that he gate-keeps on that issue. Methinks he doth protest too much....

I agree lady. I have also heard mention of how much will now be spent on a massive state funeral? When we're skint. Why can't the royals pay for it all, I'm sure they can manage it.

I'm sure the rats that are running the sinking ship will be over the moon at the media running with this for weeks as it'll allow them to bury all sorts of shit.

100 percent. And anyone who objects to the flagrant waste of what public money is left after the Ukraine black hole, has a Chairman Mao-era ritual public shaming at the hands of Piers Morgan and Mike Graham to look forward to...The other day I was thinking that things couldn’t possibly get much worse - silly me....

There’s no shortage of reason to be objectionable about the queen. Her sons cosying up with Saville & Epstein. The knighting of Blair, selecting Rolf Harris to knock up your 80th birthday portrait etc.

It would be easy to pile in on the rage porn and vent the spleen but for what? Glad I read this article, it’s put things in perspective.

Well put Sir.

Never speak ill of the dead.

That's what I was brought up to believe. I think these values are no longer the norm.

I always default to John Donne at times like this http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/meditation17.php

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

I feel the same, I'm Irish so I don't feel particularly invested in the monarchy or the family that ruins it, but none the less I still hold it with respect as an institution and with the right people at the helm as a necessity.

While the Queen did watch as Britain desend into a shell of its former glory, I still would never laugh or gloth about her death, I feel she was the very last link we had of that old Europe, the old stock are now all truly gone. And we have now entered a very new stage of our crumbling civilization.

I agree wholeheartedly with all that you've said here mate.

I'm no fan of the royals but I've been rather shocked at people's hateful twitter posts. Ash Sarkar being one. "Right Turn Clyde" aka Finbarr o'keefe who I think is a fine historian and political scholar has been posting yt videos on this, I'd recommend a look.

I myself mentioned the "stuff upper lip" in comments recently, I meant it because it is, to me, part of what Britishness is about: facing difficult situations with stoicism and bravery, it's what my grandparents did through the war and poverty. It is the best of us. We don't scream and ululate at funerals like Arabs or (actually I better not give any other examples of behaviors I seein other racial groups).

I'm saddened not so much by the queen's death but by people's reaction, it seems these days that there's so much bare, naked hatred everywhere, particularly on social media.

I just posted elsewhere that I realise from worldwide reactions that many around the world absolutely hate us and seek to blame today's British people for colonialism/ slavery/ blah blah. The problem I see is that many of these same people want to come here or are here, that's not good for them or us.

I agree. We should be able to criticise the Queen's actions (or lack of) without gloating over her death. In a way it's nice seeing so many White people gathered together to mourn a very traditional figure head.

I'll find it very hard not to gloat over the death of certain figures who 'rubbed our noses in multiculturalism' and other antiWhite globalists, but I won't be doing so publicly.

I have never been one for the faux jingoism associated with the monarchy. It seems not to serve any interest of people who look and sound like me. I won’t make crass comments about the Queen’s demise or her son. I will keep a watching brief, noting how the system processes it all and how the many foreigners we have in Great Britain react.

I'm reminded of the feelings that went through me when Osama bin laden died. Was there a feeling of relief there, rejoicing? Yes.

That being said, I wouldn't feel the need to post to social media this. It is much easier to remain humble when one remembers that tomorrow, this could be you.

Perhaps it is best to approach it like in "The Godfather." It's just business.

There's actually a scene in the Godfather I nearly mentioned in this piece. Where he slaps Sonny because and berates him for letting everyone know what he thinks and allowing his emotions to run riot.

‘‘Oh, an unfortunate bit of business that’’.

This encapsulates the perfect English response and this is what I am going to say from now on whenever someone brings the matter up. Thanks once again to Morgoth for bringing this moment into clear relief.

This is the Queen’s Speech for Christmas 2004. She literally invented the phrase ‘diversity is our strength’ years before Sadiq Khan made it his own. This is depressing beyond belief...https://youtu.be/wkTJUZkpBnY

That expression was literally put in the front of school books in my school years before that. She didn’t invent the phrase she just regurgitated it, who knows who put it in her ear.

you know who(s) put it there

Interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve been at school - I wonder where it came from?? The next person I heard using it was Gordon Brown in 2007 I think. I remember feeling a serious sense of dread...
