British Republicanism: A Necessary Evil

Sep 20, 2024


My posting of this rather controversial video should in no way be construed as an endorsement of its content. Some parts of it, I agree with; other parts, not.

Rather, I am posting this very interesting video because it shows how much the stability of this once proud and homogenous nation has been rocked by events in the past decades, and especially, in my opinion, by the disaster that was Brexit. The nation has been thrust into a period of navel-gazing.

For what it is worth, as the nation is being impoverished by Brexit and other world events with catastrophic consequences for the UK economy and the fact that we are now governed by a far-left administration, the longevity of our established institutions — and that includes our monarchy — can no longer be taken for granted. The death of Her Majesty the Late Queen Elizabeth II, a source of great stability to the United Kingdom, has had a profound and lasting effect on this once proud, unified and successful nation. Its centre of gravity seems to have tilted. — © Mark Alexander
