Disrespecting The Departed Queen

Why Was it so Ugly to See?

5 min read

Not long after the Queen died, I saw a couple of posts accusing her of being a parasite. As well as this, there were quite a few art posts on Instagram portraying her in a very negative light, as well as regular memes done in bad taste—not forgetting that booing up in Scotland. It is sad this behaviour is churning out before her funeral! I'm not even a Royalist. In fact, I don't even read about them. 

It's The Principle

I think one particular moral value of mine is that decent folk shouldn't spit on graves, the flavour of disdain is not palatable for me. That and usually, before we start smashing the jokes out, we wait a month or so.

What's with the Parasite thing? 

Years ago, the level headed pop culturalist David Ike earnt a crust smearing the monarchy in his conspuracy books. He once said, The Queen and her bloodline were a reptilian alien. I could only think of 'V' that 80s show I used to watch imagining a young Ile blown away by the shows writer. I haven't a scooby how common it is for schizotypal conspiracy illuminates to enjoy charity fundraising. I bet the reptilian overlords family did a lot more over the last seventy years.

What Sort of Person? 

If the anti-monarchy agenda label our recently departed matriarch a parasite, what will they say about the rest of us? Are recipients of benefits also parasites? If not, are they called something else like bottom feeders, maybe? Circumstance has forced sections of the public to rely on food banks, generally, opinionated narcissists like to throw their intracranial excrement at the life situations of other people just to their own validate self image—perhaps this factors into it? 

The expenses scandal of the 90s revealed a 'parasitic nature' in politics which continues today. Comparably, working class families are richer than the countless starving children in those television adverts asking for donations; if £5 feeds someone and you have £5000, at what point do you choose to be a saint or an scrooge with your money? We are all shit. 

Bad Politics Bad Conduct? 

The age of retirement in this country is 67 for some and like my father, many are given a cheap watch, and a half-soaked speech before you clock out for the last time. Pensions and the life of retirement is fantastic for some but not all. My point being; anyone can call anyone a parasite, it's just low nonetheless. The Queen was working only two days before she died, nearly a sodding one hundred years old! Born into a life where public service was the norm, she was expected to learn the pomp and tradition, she did what was expected of her. Of course, we can't choose our family, heritage or the nationality to which we are born. We can choose how to behave. 

Become a Republic? 

Bringing up colonialism, as well as stealing the Jewels and treasures for her Royal adornments was another recurring dig. Let's just imagine she decided to abdicate and dissolve her monarchy and reset everything pre-monarchy just before her passing? We would see some international disinterest for a start, fiscal disadvantage and fewer international visitors. 

Anti-Elizabethan sentiment is passed around the playground by left-wingers. However, dissolution of monarchy would be a large democratic motion facilitated by The Palace, White Hall and Westminster, but it isn't going to happen. It serves a purpose. 

The Generation Blame

Also, with regard to historical blaming, in no form of logic can people be rightfully held accountable for the actions of relatives born years before they were: should we slam Prince Andrews daughters on trial for his antics with Guiffre and Epstein? In fact, I could be charged by the descendants of the murdered French soldiers my forefather arrowed down in the skirmishes under Edmund Mortimer in 1415. 

My Conclusion

You don't have to rush in and be a troll at someone else's expense. Give it at least a month.
