• The Death of a Monarch ~ England & Scotland;

• The Emerald Island of Ireland ~ A State Visit.

As a sad prelude to the death of such a Noble Lady and a good decent Human Being who the Bugler served  for 36.5 years he had written presciently of the final collapse and demise of the British Empire and with it England’s Self respect, Decency, and Integrity both individual and severally.

This historical turning point was previously addressed… Go Here… and also subsequently sadly drafted at the point of the interregnum….

This self-fulfilling prophecy was supported with prime examples of the Knavery of Thiefdoms originating in both England and Scotland but kept secret from Her Majesty the Queen in spite of all those involved having a personal duty to their Sovereign at the exclusive monthly Privy Council meeting to which they are called by the Monarch to reveal to her what they knew and the fact they were associated with criminal fraudulent activity, whether by error or design, to be placed before her for the exercise of the Royal Prerogative. Those in knowledge were Oath bound to do so…

“You will not know or understand of any manner of thing to be attempted, done or spoken against Her Majesty’s Person, Honour, Crown or Dignity Royal, but you will lett and withstand the same to the uttermost of your power, and either cause it to be revealed to Her Majesty Herself, or to such of Her Privy Council as shall advertise Her Majesty of the same”.

The Bugler and his comrades had considered raising this scandalous fraud with the Sovereign Lady but declined to do so because everyone is entitled in their old age to time for themselves, peace and tranquillity and who should know it better than they?

These Thiefdoms in Seditious Treachery were originated and created by one of Her Majesty’s own Scottish Knights of the Realm Rt Hon Sir George Ian Duncan Smith PC MP, a leading Freemason, and progenitor and controller of not only the Senior Judiciary but the Smith/Johnson/Truss right wing putsch governments; governments which personify scoundrelism and rascality in all its shape and forms.

Politicians and these most senior Justices including the Master of the Rolls and the President of the Supreme Court who provided neither Justice, pastoral care nor comfort, nor any rational leadership to its Citizenry in distress; to any perceivable normal ‘Standards’ of decent political and judicial behavior. ‘Standards’ which ignored any public moral compass and imperiously dismissed by silence just plain old English or Scottish fair play and decency.

These scoundrels cannot now seek refuge for their criminal misdeeds behind the Throne of this Great Sovereign because it is universally recognised that Queen Elizabeth II was an exemplar of all that was decent and fair minded in a Human Being which she encapsulated in her daily devotion to the religion which she was born into and by which God and Destiny had chosen her to serve her people.

But these human qualities did not just come by accident of birth nor Destiny, they were formed on the streets of London during WWII where not only did this Regina-in-Waiting directly serve those for whom she felt an admirable kindred spirit; a spirit which they returned, but from whom she also learned in return an inimitable and enduring sense of duty, self-discipline, endured hardship, and self sacrifice before self; values which were to shape and meld her character for the decades of duty which were to come.

Elizabeth Regina was quite simply a fine Human Being and England , nay Scotland, will long wait to see her like again.

But as Firefighters well know that when Death comes, as it will, whether by old age, or not, it will come not a moment early, nor a moment late when the Angels will lead us all towards the final greatest adventure of all, Judgement Day.

We can be certain that Queen Elizabeth II will have drawn immense consolation and tranquillity from a well-served life simply knowing as a decent Human Being that she had done her very best for those who had been placed in her caring Trust…including the knaves she unwittingly ruled over.

Professor Mary Patricia McAleese LLB(Hons)-Queens University Belfast;
Reid Professor Trinity College Dublin was sworn into Presidential Office.

Professor McAleese LLB-QUB, the second female President of Ireland, was the first Ulster woman from the Province of Ulster to be born in the Six Counties of that Nine County Province at Ardoyne in the City of Belfast.

Her chosen Presidency Theme was the ~ ‘Building Bridges’.

In keeping with her Presidential Theme In March 2011, President McAleese invited Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to make a State Visit to Ireland.

The Queen accepted, and the State Visit took place from 17^th – 20^th  May 2011. The first state visit by a British Monarch since the Republic of Ireland had gained its independence from the UK in 1922.

From Ireland and the UK point of view this State Visit was an event of great significance, indeed the choreography for the intended scheduled venues reflected the sensitive nature of programme by the choice of those venues.

Ireland’s transparent objective, in conjunction with the UK Government, was intended to commence a significant  new Chapter of ‘Bridge Building’ in Anglo ~ Irish relations which arose from the arrival of the Anglo-Norman Earl of Pembroke, Richard de Clare, (known as ‘Strongbow’) who ironically was  ‘invited’ in 1167, with an army of opportunists and adventurers to engage in a military adventure to support an indigenous renegade exiled King of Leinster Dermot MacMurrough who offered to become a vassal to England’s King Henry II in return for military aid in repossessing his Kingdom, which both he, Strongbow and his antecedents  failed to attain over the following 855 years…

The 4 days of momentous historical venues included in the State Visit culminating in a State Banquet in Dublin Castle which provided the historically noteworthy backdrop for both Ireland’s President Professor McAleese LLB-QUB and HM Queen Elizabeth II  to express their diplomatic views on the historical relations between both Nations.

The setting of Dublin Castle for the State Banquet was also meaningfully significant. This austere and sinister Castle was constructed in the early thirteenth century on the site of a Viking settlement (Dub Linn ~ the black lake).
Since its construction this grim and menacing Castle served in the ensuing centuries as the headquarters of the Anglo~Normans becoming, with time and the use of its of dungeons , fire, and sword the primary instrument of oppression of the indigenous Gaels by the British Crown Forces until Ireland’s Independence over a century ago.

International Journalists’ have described how Queen Elizabeth II, in the close presence of the President of Ireland Professor Mary McAleese seated to her left, presented a lengthy, and as might be expected, a carefully crafted and embracing emotional speech commencing by uniquely addressing those attending in Gaeilge at this State Banquet.

The theme was how much, as close neighbours, we all have in common, including families, as opposed to those aspects which might appear to divide us…

The speech was commenced in Gaeilge by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in an obvious mischievous mood breaking her own Protocol by using Gaeilge, saying…

 …. “A Uachtaráin, agus a chairde…” (President, and friends’)…and in the speech which followed Her Majesty reflected on our mutual history…

“Prince Phillip and I are delighted to be here to experience at first hand Ireland’s world famous hospitality.”

“Together we have much to celebrate, the ties between our people; Madame President speaking here in Dublin Castle, it is impossible to ignore the weight of history, as it was yesterday as you and I laid wreaths at the Garden of the Remembrance.”.

“Indeed so much of this visit reminds us of the complexity of our history, it is a sad and regrettable reality that throughout history our islands have faced heartache, turbulence, and loss.”

The Queen added: “With the benefit of historical hindsight, we can all see things which we would wish would have been done differently, or not at all.”…

Throughout the world Irish Men and Women, their descendants, and their Diaspora listened with a studied  intent that will never be exceeded.

This statement coming as it clearly did from the heart of a decent person who happened to be the Sovereign of England and Scotland was simply a recognition that in spite of cruel famines, dungeon , fire, and sword the Irish still are; and one fine day soon will be a ‘Nation once again’ on this Emerald Island of Ireland.

This historical speech of pure integrity was sublime and wholesomely demonstrated an accomplished diplomat at work. The centuries of Ireland’s suffering, angst and hurt, just simply melted away in a spirit of mutual forgiveness…Blessed are the Peacemakers.

Today the World, lacking in Integrity, became a much poorer place when Queen Elizabeth II of England and Scotland passed away.

She was a unique Noble Decent Human Being and sadly we shall not see her like again…

…Requiscant in Pace.
