Brutal Despots & The Queen ?

Angry protests erupted outside Buckingham Palace as the Queen lavished hospitality at taxpayers expense on brutal dictators accused of hideous human rights abuses.Officials said the Foreign Office had approved the controversial guest list. Why were these brutal despots sharing lamb, asparagus and strawberries with the Queen at Windsor castle? The unsavoury guests are creatures of British imperialist policy. The role of the Saudi and Bahraini monarchies in the Gulf, is to violently suppress any democratic freedom movements and kill the freedom fighters. Their role is also to destroy Arab nationalist governments that have been a thorn in the side of US and UK imperialism. The Queen, Wills, Kate and Harry wined, dined, chatted and rubbed shoulders with Bahrain’s King Hamad Al Khalifa who has been condemned as a despot for violently suppressing pro-democracy protests. The Saudi, Bahraini and Qatari monarchies financed and armed the Libyan counter–revolutionaries who swiftly removed and murdered the Gadaffi regime so that the West could steal Libya’s oil.

These absolute monarchies demonstrated to “their subjects” what would happen to them if they got any ideas about organising regime change at home. The Queen’s despotic guests are now involved in organising a civil war in Syria to destroy and divide Syria for the benefit of the imperialist powers so that the US and the UK can proceed with its planned war against Iran. Graham Smith, chief executive of anti-monarchy group Republic, said,“The Queen owes a personal apology to all those fighting for freedom in those countries, and to the families of those who have died doing so.” One protester at Windsor Castle, waved a placard that read: “Oppressive tyrants, your days of plenty are numbered.” The 22-year-old said: “I don’t see how these lavish lunches can be justified when there’s decent people struggling to eat.”

 

Royal Murder Mystery?

British Police are investigating a murder at the Queen’s Sandringham estate after the body of a woman was discovered there on New Year’s Day. Sandringhamis the private 20,000 acre country estate of the Queen. Jay Leno joked that this is what happens to you when you don’t polish the silverware correctly. The murder scene is a short distance from the Royal Stud where the Queen breeds race horses. A resident at Sandringham estate said, “There have been three police cars there all day and it is completely cordoned off. It looks like they have closed a big area. The Sandringham stud is less than quarter of a mile away and the Queen rides across this country.”

“What is really strange is that no one knows anything about it. On the estate everyone knows everything about what is going on”, said the resident. Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry said at a press conference in Anmer: “We are at the very early stages of the investigation and it could be a complex inquiry. The body had been there for some time. The remains were discovered close to the village of Anmer by someone walking a dog. The circumstances suggest this is a murder case and we are looking at missing persons reports and cold cases both locally and nationwide.” The Sunreports that the police officer said further: “Entomology and pathology work is under way and we expect the body to be recovered and taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn later today.” According to Associated Press (AP), this is not the first time a dead body is discovered on a royal estate. In November 2010, the body of Joana Brown, 46, was found on the Crown Estate in Windsor. She appeared to have been killed by hammer blows to the head. In March last year, the body of an American Robert Moore, 69, was found 100 yards from Buckingham Palace.
