Brexit's epilogue

Great Britain did it. The people have voiced their dissent and their express wish to remove the shackles of the EU, and sail off on their own once more. In spite of all the celebrities, pundits, and politicians wagging their fingers, threatening to send them “to the back of the queue,” and telling them exactly what they ought to do, the Britons held their ground and told them, in no uncertain terms, to fuck off. This could prove to be the beginning of something much larger. Or not.

As many might have guessed, this morning the bankers and the globalist plutocrats threw their expected huffy temper tantrum, under the pretense of having been “surprised,” and sent ripples across the world markets, but there mustn’t be, I believe, cause for much alarm in the next few days. London remains a major financial hub, and in the end their greed – the very same one that led them to make the case for markets over people – will bring them back.

And although I would love more than anything that this newly won independence would lead to a rebirth of nationalism and a reaffirmation and recognition of the Crown’s place in society, I won’t be holding my breath. On the contrary, even the end result expressed in the vote itself might not be as certain. With the initial enthusiasm dying down some problems will start. Now that the government will officially have to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union, the protracted negotiations will begin and may take up to two years. This was done intentionally by the Eurocrats from the start, making a practical exit for anyone rather difficult. And though the vote indicates which way the people wish to go, politicians – ever the stalwarts of decency and honesty in the UK and the world over – have a long twenty four months ahead to pull a fast one.

 

The Eurocrats themselves will not go down easily either. Although the first stone has been cast against their Goliath, they will continue to push for a further dissolution of national identities and traditions with their insistence in reinvigorating a thing-that-should-not-be. Their tactics are clear after the Treaty of Lisbon. Thus, the days ahead will be interesting for the future of all of Europe.

In the meantime, nonetheless, a standing ovation for the Kingdom of Great Britain and God save the Queen!

On Brexit

About ten years ago, we had another of Hollywood’s “masterpieces” vomited upon us under the name of V for Vendetta, based loosely on the graphic novel of the same name. It told the story of a daring revolutionary, once tortured and abused, who dares to stand up to the corrupted, fascist party that runs the United Kingdom with an iron fist and imprisons political opponents and “undesirables” willy-nilly.

Throughout its duration, the film loses no time, in true hollywoodian fashion, in presenting a bishop as a pedophiliac party official, in introducing a closeted homosexual with a comedy show who collects Korans as a victim of the totalitarian state, and in sparing time for an imprisoned lesbian to tell her love story before behind dragged into the night, etc. etc. etc. Yet in the end, when the hero is dead but triumphant and the bad guys are even deader, thousands of Londoners donning Guy Fawkes masks march on the Palace of Westminster, to behold the final scene, which sees the representative building go up in flames, signifying the death of the overthrown regime.

Britain in the next few hours stands at the threshold of regaining or forsaking the je-ne-se-quoi that, since Henry VIII turned his back on the continent, granted it endurance, strength, and a world empire. During the vote that is to come, the nation is reliving the struggles of Gravelines, Trafalgar, and the Battle of Britain. It is again, the chance for the Kingdom to go on alone, and hopefully restore sanity and tradition (eventually), or succumb before the latest, and worst possible, incarnation of the Pan-European project; but one which differs greatly from Christendom of old, and even from the Napoleonic Order, and which instead serves naught but the interests of plutocrats, bureaucrats, and leftists and, furthermore, threatens even the continued existence of the European peoples themselves.

If the cinematic barf referenced above is any clue then, I would most certainly hope that the voters show up in droves to show their disdain for the unelected officials that rule their lives with greater power than their true and legitimate monarch. From the depths of this monastic cell, it is with earnest hope that, to quote from the flick, in the words of High Chancellor Adam Sutler: “England prevails.”
