Wimpo the Idiot
Disgraceful Partisanship from Prince William
by craig on August 4, 2014 11:12 am in Uncategorized
A jarringly inappropriate nationalistic speech from Prince William hit entirely the wrong tone and drew desultory applause at the commemoration ceremony for the start of the First World War, in Belgium today.
William’s whole attitude was based on the ludicrous jingoistic myth that there was a “right” and a “wrong” side in the First World War. This attitude pervaded the entire sickening performance. More than once he said we were “grateful” to Belgium for its “staunch resistance”. He mentioned the execution of Edith Cavell and the burning of the library of Loeven, with no balance of the equal war crimes on the other side.
In the dreadful nationalistic war between rival Imperial powers, the Belgian Empire was probably the most evil of all. To commend its resistance is ridiculous. Joseph Conrad’s great “Heart of Darkness” and “Congo Diary”, and the formal revelation by British Consul Roger Casement of the dreadful enslavement and abuse of the Congo population to provide vast profits to the Belgian crown, provide lasting testimony to the malignity of the Belgian Empire.
William referred to Cavell’s execution: he did not mention the execution of the heroic Roger Casement by the British, another key incident of the First World War.
The First World War was a terrible, terrible event. The millions of soldiers may have been activated by motives they believed to be noble, but the cause of war was the rival desires for aggrandisement of the very rich who ran and profited from the Empires. The Second World War was a fight against the evil philosophy of fascism, but there was no such cause for the First World War, which was simply a clash between Empires, and whose vindictive conclusion laid the foundations for fascism.
Commemorations which play to the “good side” “bad side” myth are uncalled for and should be widely condemned. That we still have a monarch-led elite which cannot admit the First World War is wrong is ludicrous. William stands baldly revealed as a reactionary ass.
The Russian ambassador in Bulgaria wrote in November 1912 that a representative of The Times claimed `very many people in England are working towards accentuating the complications in Europe’ to bring about the war that would cause the `destruction of the German Fleet and of German trade’. King George V reportedly told Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Sazonov in September 1912, “We shall sink every single German merchant ship we shall get hold of.”
What good cause, but to humiliate Germany and create the conditions for WW2? 60,000 dead Australians out of a population in 1914 of about 4 million was a good cause? That’s 3 out of every 200 citizens, 3 out of every hundred males, possibly 5 or more out of every 100 adult males? Triple or quadruple that for the maimed?
Shape our future? Perhaps to show obedience to the new Empire of the USA and go to war against China, forgetting the disaster of our involvement in Vietnam?
Tony Abbott is in good company with Prince William.

Re: Wimpo the Idiot
Just found this video on YouTube. From my small experience of lip reading waity appears to be asking President Hollande who is the person he just shook hands with (King Felipe of Spain no less). You have to watch the video, King Felipe arrives, the lamebridges appear to ignore him, King Felipe shakes hands with President Hollande and then sits down, which is when waity appears to ask PH who the man was. How, we ask ourselves, could they not recognise the King of Spain. Just how can HM let those two loose on any engagement representing the UK. With the above speech, and now not knowing who the King of Spain is - it beggars belief, big time. I am totally disgusted.

It is appallingly shocking but at the same time it is kind of funny in that the twit is so unbelievably ignorant and stupid. Somebody needs to lock her up.

It is the fallen, the men that died for us, that are disrespected. Wasty continues to giggle
Re: Wimpo the Idiot
Willy Worm, again, is mimicking The Moronic Stalker, by doing the crotch press. Now, he does this whenever he is nervous and uncertain of himself. Which is occurring more and more. He looks like such an ass when he does it. Copying that stupid little twit.
