No Race But The Human Race


I pledge alleigance to The Queen.

Read that, will you?

I pledge allegiance to The Queen.

No. NEVER.

Under our laughable legal system, I - and all of the people in this country - exist at liberty solely at her discretion. Remember the phrase “At Her Majesty’s Pleasure”?

Make no mistake. The idea that I - or any other human being - exists to act solely as a subject of anyone else is repugnant. I’ve been brought up to believe that all human beings are born equal, and that we are all in control of our own destiny. Isn’t that the central tenement of Democracy? The precious, poisoned chalice that our leaders use as the club with which to batter into submission foreign countries and crush dictators? Democracy?

Face it, Democracy is just a word. A handy idea upon which they can hang a multitude of sins. After all, the crusade in Iraq is nothing more than installing an unwanted dictatorship on top of an unwanted dictatorship. Nonetheless, it is an act of utter hypocrisy - not to mention illogical stupidity - to install democracy into another country against its will, whilst at the same time, demanding that citizens of our small rock pledge Allegiance to the Queen.

In America, every day, millions of children are taught to stand and salute a song and a flag and to pledge allegiance to…. Whatever the fuck they declare allegiance to. But surely the point, the central tenement of democracy is that you can believe in whatever belief structure you want, whatever religion or creed it is. That said, apparently you still have to pledge allegiance to God.

Remember, legally, here in the UK, we have no rights. No constitution. We are nothing in the eyes of the law.

I feel really strongly about this. I don’t belong to the Queen. I’m not her subject. My taxes paid for her. Her and all her useless parasitic family. Personally, I wouldn’t have been heartbroken had the Silly Prince - known as the Bullet Magnet to his ‘comrades’ - had his inbred millionaire brains blown out by a Afghanistani.

The idea that, even now, that there is a ‘superior’ family that deserve to lord it over the rest of the unwashed scum and steal their money through taxes to live in palaces is such a ridiculous concept that it should have been made illegal hundreds of years ago. Still, mankind is a race that thought 150 years ago that women weren’t clever enough to vote, and only recently decriminalised homosexuality, that I guess nothing surprises me. Maybe in 150 years time, mankind will look at what we currently think is morally acceptable with horror. After all, the idea of a Royal Family is such a fundamental affront to any liberated and tolerant thinking that is practically Social Apartheid.

I will never pledge allegiance to anyone or anything except myself. I belong to no nation, no royal family, no army.
