REFLECTIONS ON THE QUEEN'S DEATH
Tom Leonard
BALMORAL CASTLE
The queen died on Thursday at a time yet to be announced, or maybe it was the previous night, or whenever. [ on 29th September 2022 the queen was officially reported as dying of 'old age' at 3.10 pm. See death certificate revealed] Since then the important news about the economy, and about protests and strikes against the new Tory regime, has been knocked off the media by a diatribe of propaganda that will immortalise 'Elizabeth the Great' into perpetuity. (even though there's lots of adverse reaction in the former colonies). The British population is being told how to think. I have been alive for the whole of her reign, and I see a truly monumental figure and a strong calming influence, together with
(A) Her failure to say anything about Austerity or to abdicate over it. I thought she'd promised to protect all her people, but maybe I was much too naïve. I was a fervent monarchist until about 2012..
(B) Her unfailing support for her armed forces as they helped our upper classes to extract the resources from our colonies and other nations, while, for example, supporting Apartheid in South Africa.
(C) Her leadership of the Church of England and heavy involvement in the Church of Scotland, that are also heavily colonialist. With the exception of some enlightened parishes, these churches tend to be class divisive and not particularly accepting e.g. on LGBT issues.
(D) Far too many palaces, including Balmoral, Windsor, and Buckingham Palace. Far too wealthy (at least £33 billion, maybe £72.5 billion) much of which came from the colonies.
(E) Several dreadful members of her family, at least two of whom (the alleged child abusers Louis Mountbatten and Prince Andrew) were protected by her to the hilt. Prince Louis (The royal family's much revered Uncle Dickie and the Viceroy of India during the partition) had a long-time propensity for 8 to 12 year old boys in orphanages, at least one of whom later committed suicide. Prince Louis was executed by the IRA in 1979, after being involved in a pedo-ring in Ireland. He was buried, with full ceremony in Westminster Abbey. The Queen and Prince Philip, both shocked and grief-stricken, were in attendance.
.
(F) The way Princess Margaret's life was ruined by the queen's refusal (while under severe institutional pressure) to let Margaret marry the boyfriend she loved.
(G) The Princess Di/ Camilla tragedy. Diana would have been a truly great queen, but now we've got Camilla.
(H) Her support for racist/eugenicist governments in Canada and Australia that have repressed and physically harmed the indigenous peoples to this very day.
(I) The cover-ups during the Profumo/Christine Keeler scandal, which could well have brought down the House of Windsor (depending on which royal personages participated in the orgies in Kensington Palace with the Russian spy Yvgeny Ivanov). There was a joke circulating at the time that 'Christine Keeler had been found dead under the peer.' Everybody knew who the peer in the joke was. He was president of the Royal College of Science at ICL, which I attended as an undergraduate.
(J) The racial prejudice in the Royal family e.g. just prior to Diane's untimely death, and against the Queen's own great grandson Archie (who wasn't made a prince in accordance with a long-standing agreement and who shouldn't be blamed for his parents' follies).
(K) Her support during her reign for her uncle 'the traitor ex-King', the Duke of Windsor, who wanted to rule Britain as a puppet state for the Nazis, and for his venomous wife Wallis Simpson,
While I have a vague suspicion* that the queen was hurried along her way (like George the Fifth, Princess Di, and the Queen Mother before her) my major concern is that the media will distort the news so much over the next few weeks, that the Truss regime will be able to get away with all sorts of neo-fascist stuff and further impoverish our working classes, who've felt scared to answer back ever since neo-liberalism set in, in earnest, during the 1980s. It's almost as if the queen's death has been incorporated in some sort of plot.
*Since writing this, a friend has quite independently suggested that the queen could have suffered from a stroke and might then have been given morphine, but this is just a hypothethical construction, Today (11th August) a lady in the choir at my Church came up with a similar suggestion. It has also been suggested that during her last days the queen was suffering from a heart condition (see last picture taken of her hand)

UPDATE ON KING CHARLES' PROJECTED HEALTH
13th September 2022
Some of my medical friends think that the King may be suffering from congestive heart failure, and that his recent more thickset features could be put down to him taking steroids. Therefore, the Prince of Wales may need to act as Regent, before he becomes King.
A number of Scottish middle aged people do not view Charles kindly because of the terrible way he treated HRH Princess Diana, his beautiful wife before God. It will never be forgotten.
To 'include' Camilla in their marriage generated huge problems for the generations thereafter, and we are all still suffering from the aftermath.
15/9/2022: The King has already 'flipped' and lost his temper about nothing twice in public. He is currently taking 'a day off to rest'. I wonder whether he will make his coronation? In the meantime he has made 100 of his staff at Clarence House redundant, so who gives a fig?
16/9/2022 King Charles has already been booed by protestors in Edinburgh and Cardiff.
A twenty-two year old, very pleasant man Rory is attacked and arrested after a relatively mild comment to the thoroughly deserving Andy Pandy. While constrained in police custody, Rory said " Powerful men shouldn't be allowed to commit sexual crimes and get away with it."
Randy Andy proposes to look after the corgis
Much of the Queen's effective 'deification' has been in large part orchestrated by archbishops and bishops in the Church of England, an institution steeped in child abuse. See, for example, Archbishop Cranmer.com.
19th September 2022, 1 pm. I have just watched the entire funeral ceremony in Westminster Abbey. I wonder what God is thinking? Putting the monarch between the people and their God creates a massive ant/sheep mentality that causes much of the harmful, soulless repression in this world.
