A Scathing Indictment of Queen Elizabeth

Rain's picture

On June 5, the last day of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebration, PressTV published a video with only one sentence of text:

The Windsors PR machine has tried almost 60 years to indoctrinate the people with the cliché “The Queen has never put a foot wrong,” which its accuracy has never been verified by either the British people or any other official institution.

In other words, the video is a scathing indictment of the Queen's reign released with no fanfare or elaboration on its contents. This is odd yet intriguing.

Here is the video from YouTube:

Six Decades of Secrecy
The Queen has never put a foot wrong. The Windsors’ PR machine has tried for almost sixty years to indoctrinate the British people with this statement - a statement whose accuracy has never been verified by either the British people or any official institution.

A review of the last six decades in British history shows that the Queen’s intervention in Britain’s political affairs is unclear and untransparent and ordinary British citizens know very little about it.

Lack of transparency in the power structure of the Windsors is such that most decisions are made by the Queen behind closed doors.

Even middle-class politicians are not aware of the responsibilities or political decisions that have been influenced by the Queen.

The Queen’s role in Britain’s major decisions over the past six decades has never been truly investigated and she has never been held accountable for any of her decisions.

Republicans have always claimed that after sixty years on the throne, the British Queen’s reign has been characterized by profligacy, weak leadership and an obstinate refusal to allow scrutiny of her role.

They argue that the Queen, as a figurehead and national official, has failed to take any positive steps and no one can even point to a famous speech or an instance where she demonstrated decisive leadership during a crisis.

Nevertheless, one of Elizabeth the Second’s duties, of cutting ribbons before cameras, demonstrates her ability to make extravagant appearances to the press and the public.
