Why don't you run for parliament?


That's what a mate asked me in the pub last night, when I was expanding on my political views in a Guinness fueled rant. Well first of all it's not likely a pro-English independence socialist candidate would get elected, secondly er it's not likely I'd get elected if I was running for a mainstream party, thirdly if I was democratically elected by a significant section of the local population, I wouldn't be able to take my seat. No, I'm not an undischarged bankrupt or electoral fraudster, I'm a republican and as the Centre for Citizenship say here that disqualifies me from membership of our so called mother of parliaments...

Surely if we were a real modern democratic society, Members of Parliament would have to take a pledge of allegiance to the people, or some such formulation, not to Mrs Windsor, why should I make any extra effort to defend this woman just because her ancestors robbed more land than mine?

Meanwhile here is a spoof of the oath of allegiance that immigrants must make before getting British citizenship. Well spoof or just reading between the lines of what the oath really says? Now whatever your views on immigration, why should Liz and her parasitical intellectually sub normal family be first on the list? And why should authority derive from the crown? The only people who can grant authority is us, 'The People'.

Guinness? Shouldn't you be drinking English beer?

Ah. Now you're talking my language.

I would have thought a better reason to avoid Guinness was that the company was run by a bunch of crooks (although Wikipedia's suggestion of Anti-Semitism is new to me, and gives me pause...) OTOH the prospect that Guinness can seemingly cure Alzheimer's seems to be in its favour.

Wychwood do a very good stout, as it happens, but is a thinking nationalist - I'd like to believe I'm the first, but not the second - really restricted to "their" own beers?
