Tea and cake or death

As I write these words, I do not know what the English Democrats stand for and I do not care. The day the police instruct a political campaign to take down the English flag in England is the day the police are guilty of treason against the Crown, blasphemy against God and the rape of common sense.

The incident occurred when candidate Derek Allpass and his team were out campaigning on June 21, for the Henley by-election (held June 26). They had set up a table with promotional material, and strung bunting sporting the red cross of St. George around it. However, the team was soon approached by the police and the Town Clerk, the latter of whom allegedly told Allpass, “we don't want that flag here in Henley.” Darren Riley, the Party's Kent Chairman, responded by pointing a church that was close by, and likewise flying the England flag (because it was under the denomination of the Church of England), and remarked, “if you don't want England's flag flying in Henley you had better take this up with the Vicar too.”

And still the bunting came down. In a totalitarian state the police do not uphold the law but trample on it and it becomes necessary to oppose the police by any means necessary. The only question is at what point the English people decide the police - like Charles I - have crossed the line.

Update: Fascism wears a smiley face.
