REQUIEM FOR ENGLAND'S ILLUSTRIOUS PAST
THEOPINIONATOR says - I wish I could lay claim to the below post as is so exquisitely expresses the thoughts of many English "old" boys (and gals).
My thanks to "Albion" for placing this post on the ABEX website - the full post is below:
Many times I have heard the phrase ‘life is too short’ and when you have lived more of your life than you have left to live one is inclined to agree. I have got to an age where I have to seriously consider whether I am too old to take up the violin. I don’t feel old; my brain is that of a teenager but the all-consuming drive to own ‘stuff’ and to impress the opposite sex has gone. That is a good thing as I now consider those youthful impulses as no more than a trivial distraction, being immaterial and of no consequence to ones future. That is the crutch or heavy baggage that one unknowingly carries in their early years.
I served in the British army when Stalin was in power in Russia, when Franco was in charge of Spain, Tito was ruling a ‘United’ Yugoslavia, Chiang Kai Shek was being driven from mainland China into Taiwan and it was another 12 years before the Berlin Wall went up. I was a British soldier defending England, its freedom and its way of life, who the hell would I be defending now?
Things change very quickly. I lived in an England when her empire was beginning to crumble. Time passes, now its own children are beginning to lose their sense of racial identity, and indeed the whole country is made to feel guilty of its proud history and ethnic uniqueness and is tragically losing its sense of purpose and direction.
Our leader’s talk of embracing British and British-ness, they tell us we are not English any more and very shortly we will even cease to be British and become European. The England as I knew it will be no more; all this change has occurred in one person’s terrifyingly short lifetime.
In my youth my country did not spawn ‘home grown’ terrorists, the person sitting next to me on the bus was English so was the bus conductor and the driver. Stop and think; what or who caused these catastrophic negative social changes to our once relatively lawful homogeneous society? It was not the people; it was our traitorous narcissistic politicians in collusion with the power hungry, corrupt European federalists.
When my son reaches my age what will my country resemble? If nothing changes the descent into a European authoritarian autocracy will be total and absolute and the England I defended will be no more, the England my uncle died for will be unrecognizable and the England my grandfather God rest his soul, who fought in the boxer wars, would have recognized, would be a horrified.
The politicians are still telling the grubby peasants they have the country and its peoples best interests at heart at the same time they are breaking up what was once a ‘United’ Kingdom and eroding the very fabric of a proud nation who feared no-one, who kowtowed to no-one and most certainly did not allow a totally foreign or exotic Eastern culture to affect, influence, dictate, threaten its security, its way of life or its future, and to change the English character of many of its major cities. What total screaming madness is changing the face of my country?
What have our government done for its own people you might ask? Well they have put in place legal mechanisms to threaten and to silence its own people with incarceration if they dare object to this horror.
This is the country I gave the best years of my youth for. I will make doubly certain that my son does not waste his youth as I did, sacrificing his immature youthful years believing in the lies of ‘home grown’ renegade, lying, and treasonous bloody imposters.
Albion.

BRAVO, ALBION!
Albion....splendid stuff. I have just returned from Crow Nest park in Dewsbury with one of my sons listening to the Brass Band. The reason was because my old Dad at 86 yrs was playing his cornet as a guest player as they were short of cornet players. My Dad, an old coal miner, has been a Brass bandsman for 77 years and has never missed a performance. As we listened I felt we were edging towards a closing chapter and there were as many foreign faces in the park as white faces.
I talked to my son of my fears for this country but he has a more resigned attitude towards this than me.
"Well, what can you do" he says, "you can't send them all back." He's right, perhaps, but you know, I'll never stop plugging away as long as there's breath in my body! I'm hoping that Freddy Thielemans has got Europe fired up enough to come to their senses and start slapping down these incomers, but then I look round the park today and they've all got 4,5,6 children & I know they're out breeding us.
Learn the violin...I got my Dad his first computer for his 86th birthday & he's mastering it fine.
It's up to the youngsters who read this to make more babies, that's our only hope now.

the covenant between the British forces and the Government is clearly in tatters,
A military coup is not unthinkable

You might be right Gandalf I think that there are only a total of just over 800 muslims in the British Forces. Most of the Soldiers are still recruited from the working class, who to put it mildly are not pro Islam under and circumstances. The muslims certainly blotted their copy book when they daubed the house of those officers in Windsor during the riots there. The Army if my memory serves me correctly swear allegiance to the Queen and not too parliament. If circumstances were to occur where a British mob in answer to muslim atrocities were to get out of control and the Police could not control them. Would the troops brought in to control the situation fire on there own people. What I could imagine is that the Army in trying to come between the waring parties the army would be seen by the muslims as colonial oppressors and fire on the Army. I hate to think what the consequences would be then.

The one saving grace may be that HM forces still pledge alliegence to the crown as do the police i believe so come on Your Majesty remember the courage your wonderfull mother showed when the UK stood alone against the Nazi jackboot LEADERSHIP PLEASE

I pledge that I shall go to a rememberance day event 11/11 this year and take at least 4 people with me. The people have forgotten.
We are even now forgetting the brave men and women falling now in war.
Gandalf, The covenant between the Government and the people is also clearly in tatters as well.

If only it were so, Gandalf ..........if only it were so. Maybe it's just a very "bad" day but after surfing the web and reading various news articles my fear for England has mushroomed whilst my hope for my Country's salvation has declined. But true to the English - I (like you and others) will get up tomorrow, put on my "stiff upper lip" and continue to "plug away" towards awakening others to the imminent Islamisation of Europe and the irrevocable death of England thru multiculturalism, political correctness and rampant illegal and legal immigration.

New Fjordman essay. As usual, a superb read.

Albion (if you're reading)
In the mid to late eighties when I hung up my gun and went to get an education, I thought I would never need one again for the rest of my life.
You might care to consider, as I have recently done, that I might have been in error, and that we old-timers may still have work of that nature to do (I'm 55).
We may no longer have it in us to do a full soldier's job - all that humping heavy kit around at speed, which is mostly what a soldier's job comprises (can you remember ever being NOT knackered?) - but we can still sit in a hole with a FAL and make sure nobody passes. We can all do SOMETHING to contribute while the young men get on with hauling stuff around.
Anyway, I never did expect, or fancy, slowly falling apart in old age. How about you?
Prepare yourself - at least mentally.

REQUIEM ??
The only requiem will be for the EU, and its tool, Islam. Muslims, I hope, we will treat leniently, and allow them to go back to dar ur islam.
Hells bells, I would not have spent writing about the threat of Islam since the Rushdie fatwa, and then give up hope, just when the population is waking up.
