A Sense of history is the real
VICTORY
THE CHILD stood on the spot where Nelson was hit. A rainstorm had made people run off the deck of HMS Victory, so he was almost alone. The brass plague showed the exact place on the quarterdeck. The child jumped up and down on the plague. Now the father read from a book
‘Lord Nelson was killed by a musket ball from a French sniper.’ The word ‘killed’ always makes children pay attention. If it comes with mental pictures of blood and agony, that’s even better.
‘Did he have his head blown off?’ Ryan, aged eight, asked his father.
‘Not everyone has his head blown off?’ the boy was told.
Then the story was explained and the Battle of Trafalgar, a majestic day in the wonderful calendar of this country’s history came alive.
Ryan could not get enough.
His school was near Kingsworthy, Winchester, and just about every child there had been to Victory.
This was his turn. His father, Kieran, was taking a few days off work because Ryan had some holiday had some holiday time to fill.
When the rain stopped, people climbed back on deck. There were 100 children at least. The next big group where the elderly, struggling with steep steps. The ship was alive.
On October 21st 2005
-it will be 200 years
Since the greatest
of all admirals
died after that sniper
shattered his spine
Ryan tried to lift a cannon ball, but only managed to move it. Did you know anything about Nelson before your father told you, he was asked. He certainly did, he said. There were posters on the school wall.
What do you know about Nelson then? ‘He was a titch.’ He was right. Nelson was only 5ft 4in Kieran was proud this was known.
Simon Willerton was acting as guide.
A survey had said more than half the schoolchildren had never heard of Nelson.
-he was told.
‘That’s not our experience on the ship itself.
Watch the faces coming up the gangplank.
Watch for the excitement,’ he said.
Kieran said he would like to know just where the children who didn’t know about Nelson came from.
‘Can’t say it any more, can you, but I bet a fair few of them weren’t born here.’ That sort of thing always upset statistics is what he thought.
Another guide, Terrence Hill lifted a small cannonball and gave it to a boy. He could manage the 12lb, but not the one at the far end, which was almost 60lb.
‘These guns fired at point blank range,’ Simon said. ‘I mean point blank: 20ft from the enemy ship, as close as 6ft or even touching.
The children were mesmerised by the stories of exploding decks and sailors cut to shreds by huge shards of shattering wood.
Terrence Hill walked the deck, explaining. ‘Were any French killed?’ a small boy shouted.
‘Oh, most certainly thousands more than the British. It was a great day for us.’
Blair would seethe and grind his teeth to hear such
Patriotism
He had to have his arm twisted to support any Royal Navy involvement
in the anniversary at all.
Blair should be made to walk Victory’s old decks and listen to the little hearts beating with pride.
Even some of the 12-year-olds had to duck under the beams of the lower gun decks. ‘How small were the sailors in those days?’
Terrence turned. ‘That’s the most asked question from all people who ever come to see Victory,’ he said.
‘In fact, they weren’t much smaller. The decks were built so low to give stability to the ship when the 104 guns were firing.’ Epic accounts of Nelson’s life raked the Victory like a broadside.
‘If they didn’t feel his heroics when they came aboard, they will by the time they leave,’ Terrence said.
Back at school, Ryan said the boys kept talking about the rats. ‘There were rats here all right.’ Terrence said to a bunch of children with huge eyes and blue and grey uniforms.
HOW did they get rid of them? In a special kind of way,’ he said, with a smile starting to beam. ‘Come on…you boys and girls must have heard of ratatouille.’
An old fellow found the steep stairs a problem. He had to pull hard on the handrail and pass up his walking stick. There were big gulps of breath at the top. Seeing the schoolchildren enjoying themselves cured it.
‘Wonderful they’re so interested,’
he said, with pleasure. ‘The emphasis seems to be to destroy the memory or, at best, to hide our history’.
No one had a chance to hide anything from the group on board.
‘Please, how did they get Nelson back to England? A guide told them it was in a barrel of brandy.
The children went wild. ‘Did they drink the brandy afterwards?’
‘I bet they tried,’ they were told.
More rain made people hurry down to the lower decks. The ship was all about guns. Nelson slept with a big cannon at his feet and one next to his head. The noise of battle stunned your brain and the smell was like anaesthetic.
Ryan had roamed for two hours. Now, tired, he was being edged towards the car park. He had his picture taken through the grey light with Victory right behind him.
Enjoy it? ‘Terrific,’ he declared.
Also he learned some history, his father said.
Which isn’t this Government’s idea at all.
Because apologising for the events of history is what they’re really keen on.

So You
Want Out Of The EU
THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE
RENUNCIATION of EU
CITIZENSHIP
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout
Details from petition creator
With the signing of the
Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship
was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many
cases knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN
should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN
CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to
provide those who have opted out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU)
passports, driving licences and other national documents.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to
those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN
CITIZENSHIP
[PETITION OPEN
UNTIL OCTOBER 08]

(John Mortimer)
YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH.
WILL THIS CHRISTMAS QUEEN'S SPEECH
BE THE
LAST IN A FREE INDEPENDENT ENGLAND -SCOTLAND AND
WALES?
Will HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ASSURE YOU
THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM BECOMING A PROVINCE OF EUROPE.
OR
WILL THE QUEEN MAKE IT PLAIN THAT OUR
FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE IS SACROSANCT BUT THAT IF THE PEOPLE WISH
TO BECOME SLAVES -THEN A REFERENDUM THERE MUST BE.
WE BELIEVE THAT NO ENGLISHMAN SHOULD BE
ASKED WHETHER HE WISHES TO BE A SLAVE OR FREE!
THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL FIND OUT IF OUR
PROTECTOR OF THE
'Rights and Liberties'
of
Englishmen
Will keep by HER SACRED OATH
or the MONARCHY be nothing more than
a
THEME PARK in the future
THIS IS THE TIME FOR BLUNT SPEAKING AS
THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR UNIQUE NATION STATE IS IN DIRE PERIL.
We are told on
the BBC (Brussels Broadcasting Service) at 11.30 pm on Saturday the
23rd December, 2007, that the QUEEN now has a website which has footage
of the Royal Family in the past and that the QUEEN is NOT
'Stuck in the past'
Well! as far as many patriotic subjects
are concerned we need to remain in the PAST when it concerns the
protection of our
FREEDOM and COUNTRY.
Change we have had and will continue to
have but it must not threaten our very WAY-OF-LIFE our Common Law of
England and all which makes our country the most unique parliamentary
democracy in the world.
THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER!
Should the Monarch fail to protect our
inherited RIGHTS and Liberties then we shall have to fight for a
REPUBLIC as happened in the 17th century because the Monarch of the day
ignored those very
'Rights and Liberties of Englishmen'
which will still survive in the English Speaking World today in December
2007. How can the MOTHER of PARLIAMENTS give away what is already our
and our children's INHERITANCE which cannot be taken away by
PARLIAMENT or the QUEEN.
If the above publicity exercise is to
be used to soften the impact to the population of the BETRAYAL of their
CONSTITUTION and COUNTRY then it would be the greatest TREASON by a
Monarch since James II who wished to sell our COUNTRY to the FRENCH for
MONEY and RELIGION.
WE ASK WHAT
PRICE ARE OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES WORTH?
THEY ARE
PRICELESS!
*
*
The Choice is Yours!-but time is
running out FAST!
6 months to be EXACT!
*
THE EU
WE-AND
THEM!
WE are
to join THEM
THEY are
not joining US
WE have more to LOSE
THEY have
more to GAIN
WE have been clear of
dictators from EUROPE for most of our HISTORY
THEY have
been cursed with that abomination for most of their HISTORY and NOW!

MESSAGE TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH
THE II
*
We now learn
from the Daily Mail COMMENT on Christmas Eve that the Queen's Speech
will cover the catastrophic fall in Values and Moral behaviour since the
beginning of her 56 -year reign. This has been brought about by the
actions of HER MINISTERS and the greater number of those in HER
PARLIAMENT who have placed THEIR CONCERNS before the INTERESTS of THE
PEOPLE and NATION STATE.
As for the
fact that HER PEOPLE feel LOST that has been the direct result of the
actions of HER SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS and the TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS
including PRIME MINISTERS who have stealthily over the 56 years of HER
MAJESTY'S REIGN have almost achieved their aim of ENSLAVING the PEOPLE
to a FOREIGN POWER.
The reason for
the marked drop in the number viewing THE QUEEN'S SPEECH is no doubt
because the mass of people have realised years ago that the MONARCH is
powerless to PROTECT their WAY-OF-LIFE and events up to now have PROVED
THEM CORRECT.
There is a well know saying
'Nero fiddled while Rome burned'
Is it the case on Christmas Day 2007 while the Monarch
talks our Rights and Liberties are being taken from us under our very
noses?
Of course the QUEEN under HER CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE can
only 'Advise and Warn' HER MINISTERS but when the matter concerns
the very LIFE of an INDEPENDENT STATE we expect that HER MAJESTY
consider the arrangement to be AT AN END as it would make a MOCKERY of
the PRIME IMPORTANCE of the MONARCH to protect our inherited Rights and
Liberties which HER MINISTERS are endeavouring TO GIVE AWAY.
We as loyal
subjects of the MONARCH who is the living embodiment of OUR RIGHTS and
LIBERTIES ask at this late stage with only months to the eradication of
a FREE NATION STATE some veiled comments that HER MAJESTY will PROTECT
our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES.
As for the
MORAL tone of the NATION STATE at this most crucial time in ENGLISH
CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY this matter should be left to CHURCH LEADERS
who's responsibility it is to CARE for their FLOCKS particularly at this
FESTIVAL of CHRISTMAS.
IF HER
MAJESTY'S SPEECH has not been pre-recorded we ask HER MAJESTY to give
those MILLIONS of HER subjects some hope that their PROTECTOR has NOT
FORGOTTEN THEM.
Should
this APPEAL not be answered we can at last confirm that the MONARCHY is
after all nothing more than a talking shop suitable for YouTube and
therefore nothing more than a
THEME PARK
