A Simple Request

My Queen,

Your country, that you have so diligently served for 56 years, is in terrible danger.

Since coming to power Prime Minister Tony Blair has taken us into 2 wars, corroded civil liberties with acts of parliament such as the anti-terror laws and ignored your parliaments due process by enacting European Union via the vastly undemocratic system of "statutory instrument".

His successor, Gordon Brown, who has never attained a mandate to govern your people, has undermined the economic standing of your currency - Sterling, that was once the watchword for safety and security on a turbulent world stage, has been brought to near death. Billions have been wasted on so called "public spending" which has only succeeded in increasing a criminal underclass, reliant on handouts, whilst dehumanising what should be acts of kindness and grace; the welfare of the weakest in our society. Under his watch it is increasingly likely that his inaction on tough decisions such as power generation and infrastructure will lead to the lights going out by 2012, and your people left at the mercy of criminals, illness and lawlessness, all for the want of a few extra police, doctors and entrepreneurs.

Additionally much of what remains of your parliament's decision making power has been spirited away to Brussels with little or no consultation to either yourself or your people; more than 70% or all laws in Britain are now made by the EU "Colleagues", sanctioned by a compliant group of EU parliamentarians and paid for by taxpayers who have not seen true account of this money or whether it has been spent wisely (or honestly) for over a decade.

Yes, your country is in danger, and I ask you to do something.

I am a simple person with simple goals in life; I wish to live free and with as little imposition from the state as is possible, that my labours remain my own save for a modest part to be used in defence of your realm, the welfare of the weak (and not the work-shy) and to ensure that justice is not only blind, but available to all.

I believe you are capable of doing this by doing the following:

When a Prime Minister wishes to dissolve Parliament and call a general election, he or she is obliged to seek the permission of the Sovereign to do so. For this purpose, the Prime Minister usually travels to Buckingham Palace before announcing a general election. This role is widely seen as ceremonial. 

My request is simple; that you dissolve parliament under your own volition - I do not believe this role is ceremonial, only taken as so by men who see you as obsolete; I see you as the last defence against tyranny. 

I beseech you, my queen in all urgency to rid us of this rouge government before it thrusts us further into the abyss.

May the Lord our God bless you and keep you. Amen.

Your loyal subject,

Tomrat

Anyone with me? If so go to this website, copy this message to it and hope she will listen to reason.

UPDATE: IPJ, has commented that any message sent to the Queen will be redirected if it contains any referrence to the EU; to avoid this happening write your own letter and send it to her, sans EU-references.

Reality has most certainly left the building; the creep towards totalitarianism seems to have stopped outright; but only to put on its running shoes for a much more rapid journey down the road to serfdom.

Plans are underway to protect us even more from the Eevil teworwists & dwug dealers by creating a compulsory national register for all unregistered Pay'n'Go phones:

"A compulsory national register for the owners of all 72m mobile phones in Britain would be part of a much bigger database to combat terrorism and crime. Whitehall officials have raised the idea of a register containing the names and addresses of everyone who buys a phone in recent talks with Vodafone and other telephone companies, insiders say."

I'm not with Vodafone and if this goes ahead I will most certainly not consider them in the future; if the push in the future is to incorporate more mobile phone networksI will continually move away from that network; if all British networks are "incorporated" I will move to these guys.

Its been a few years since I had to change my sim card; as I recall I had to provide my details to my mobile service operator in order to get some of the better offers and other stuff; fine, I said - it was to both our benefits - they sell me more stuff which I want. If I were a terrorist the security services could, with some necessary difficulty, get a wiretap in order for them to monitor a potential criminal: You do not need this for any legitimate reason.

I am not a terrorist and I am not a thug. I am a normal guy who does normal things; I go to church, have a loving family and I help run a youth group (filled to the rafters with kids who's homelives have been given the once over with NuLabour's decade of social engineering) . I drink fancy beer in expensive irish themed bars, have the odd cigar over a poker game with friends and play way too much Wii; I will not be made to feel a criminal because the chimps in power feel a little insecure.

That said I offer a suggestion; this is the head of GCHQ, David Pepper:

He will be the one in charge of putting this database together. May I suggest you make his job a tiny bit harder by visiting a site like this, registering for as many free sim cards as is humanly possible then registering every last one. If every person in the UK did this with the 12+ sim cards they would pretty soon get the message that we dont like being unnecessarily monitored.

And in case anyone is curious I got the idea from a TV show...

For even greater emphasis why not take part in the following activity? Mines heading to this happy camper, John Battle, my local MP. You may not know him but like George Forman he puts his name to some interesting stuff...
