This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Has become this:
Britain sits like a yellow septic thorn between the open liberal democracies of north America and western Europe, although I have to query how EU member countries are any better off under Von der’ Lyin than we are under fascist Starmer.
Truth be told, if you hover over the UK on the map, you can see that the censorship rot set in before Starmer even, around about 2020. I wonder what happened then? So it was probably Theresa May/Boris Jonhson who set this ball rolling, especially Boris the Red with his Covid lockdowns and his eco-Marxist ‘Saudi Arabia of Wind’ Build Back Better crap. But four more years of Weird Stalin and Labour and we will probably go from yellow to orange (Restricted).
So Gaunt’s poem should be updated thus:
This royal throne of WEF-King Charlie, this septic isle,
This earth of solar panels and windmills, this seat of conflict,
This other hell, lost paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
Now open to both
This unhappy breed of far right men, this ‘Little England’,
This dead stone set in the EU-plundered sea,
Which no longer serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house
But as a taxi route for foreign invaders
Incredible! It’s probably a malign organisation as the main funders of Article 19 (source ChatGPT) include various state development agencies including USAID (now defunct) and various philanthropath foundations: Ford, Open Society, Hewlett.
It is notable that the main thorn in the side to the corrupt EU, Hungary, has been downgraded.
The USA should be above the EU (and Brazil) now that Trump has repudiated Biden’s censorship of free speech and has chastised the EU (and UK) for their ongoing censorship.
As you indicate, the rot set in during the tyranny of the Covid “plandemic” when anyone who spoke out against the official government narrative was derided, cancelled, sacked from their job or even jailed, e.g. Reiner Fuellmich in Germany.
Excellent.
