NOT MY KING

Charles is king. No debate, no legitimacy,
no questions asked. 
That’s not ok in a modern democracy.

‘There’s absolutely no way ANYONE should swear allegiance to a man who was best mates with Jimmy Saville, Who allowed his Peado brother back in the family, Who married his mistress after his wife was killed under very strange circumstances. Not my King.’
   – Benny James @Beno ldn

The UK’s largest anti-monarchist group announced plans to disrupt King Charles’ coronation, calling on people to express their dissent at the event next month with yellow “Not My King” banners.

Graham Smith, the leader of Republic, said Monday that the monarchy was in “quite a lot of trouble,” speaking at a meeting with foreign correspondents in London.

Ahead of the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as queen on May 6, a group has been preparing to hold a series of protests dubbed ‘Not My King’ in central London to express their opposition to the new monarch.

The demonstrations will be held in Trafalgar Square, less than 900 meters (about 2,950 feet) from where the coronation will take place in Westminster Abbey, and along the route of the procession to Buckingham Palace.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, said: ‘It’s time our country was represented by someone who had to work for that privilege, someone who doesn’t rip off the taxpayer and someone who doesn’t demand deference. It’s time we had an elected head of state.’

 

  • ‘Not My King’: Anti-monarchy protesters face police crackdown in the UK

They are trying to scare us into not expressing our beliefs and opinions.

The Human Rights Act

Article 10 – FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

We are free to hold opinions and ideas and to share them with others without the State interfering.

Article 11 – RIGHT TO PROTEST

We have the right to peacefully express our views. Authorities must allow us to take part in marches, protests and demonstrations.

The Governments Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act is a serious threat to human rights, particularly the right to protest.


It gives police extra powers, but does not give any new rights to individuals.



They are using these powers to take away our freedom of expression. Know your rights, read the new legislation. Fuck the Tories.
 Abolish the Monarchy.

One Response to NOT MY KING

    1. why do we need ANY head of state. figureheads and personality politics is the scourge of this country and indulges not just the individual, affording them authority over others, but all the obsequious lazy ill-informed people who vote for them. without calling for a republic, it’s perfectly feasible to form Civic State, where people’s contributions to social, economic and political decision-making through direct democracy is counted and rewarded. Check out ‘Forming Non-Monetary Civic State’ if we really want to get as close to equality as we possibly can.
