MICHAEL WALSH. In England, the parasitical aristocracy is called the extended Royal Family but otherwise, there isn’t a great deal of difference. The idle rich speculate whilst royalty accumulates. It was this week revealed (in the Russian media) that the royals pocket the possessions of those Britons who die without leaving a will.

Comparisons: In 1940 Britain (at bay) on account of its declared war on Germany was on the ropes and facing an uncertain future. Fast forward 70 years and it is the banksters doing the bombing.

Their punitive raids are making people homeless, removing jobs; industrial estates are turned into wasteland; lives and livelihoods are ruined. Today there is no need for ration books. There is so little in people’s pockets there is little chance of indulgence. For many the stark choice is do we eat or heat?

Conquered by the banksters the nation’s assets are privatised and flogged off at bargain basement rates to international speculators. The nation is colonised and reduced to debt slavery by the usury of international banking houses.

The people are told ‘we are all in this together’ and in the 1940s they were told it was a people’s war. This was the politicians’ crafty way of making sure those who did the work, the bleeding and the dying were the people. Nothing changes.

Royal oligarchs Michael and Carole Middleton, whose daughter Kate will become England’s queen, are villa hunting; their likely haven is Mustique. This island paradise for decades has been notorious for ostentatious wealth and debauchery; a Sodom and Gomorrah where paparazzi are ruthlessly discouraged.

When in 1940 Tommy was vainly trying to hold off the Reich’s occupation of France after the latter had twice invaded and failed to occupy Germany few were aware that the Royal Family, with Britain’s privileged elite, was preparing to do a runner.

The Duke of Westminster was hurriedly appointed governor of the Bahamas as Britain’s gold reserves were shipped to Ottawa in Canada. There’s no need for that now; former Prime Minister Gordon Brown sold most of Britain’s gold reserves to international speculators for a song.

Back in those dark days, when the occupation of Britain was said to be imminent (it wasn’t), government minister Alfred Duff Cooper sent his son Julius to Canada.  He wasn’t very good at his job: This Minister of Information overlooked telling beleaguered Britons fighting the people’s war about the jammy lad’s departure. I am sure they would have wished him bon voyage from the pier.

The Sunday Times on May 21, 1972, revealed: “Parents who could afford to ship their families out to America or the Commonwealth.  Royal Navy ships, which should have been protecting Britain’s interests, were placed on standby to evacuate members of the Royal Family and key members of the government to the United States.

In June, July and August 1940, over 6,000 children took part in what P. Addison in ‘The Fears That Flawed Their Finest Hour’ termed ‘the exodus of the rich.’ In The First Casualty historian, Phillip Knightley, wrote: “The working class began to feel, with some justification, that the rich had plans to get out whilst the going was good.”

So, the years move on but human nature; all of its strengths and weaknesses stay precisely as they have always been. We still have inept politicians whose bungling gets us into the mire. The people pay for it and if things don’t go as planned, they rely on them to get them out of it.

The flag-waving serfs have placed their Will and Kate wedding souvenirs in glass cabinets and their photographs in albums. Britain’s finest squander the lives on the politicians’ foreign battlefields whilst the cloth-eared royals look on.

The Middleton family and other oligarchs will no doubt find themselves in ‘exalted’ company in a different kind of foreign field in the Caribbean. Rather them than me.
