Cenotaph Remembrances!
By Stanley Collymore
Brave Kate? Really? Give us a
bloody break! When her
sort, the rest of the
Windsors kind, the politicians, bankers
and the arms dealers, who collectively
obviously profit from war, tell the rest
of us we must distinctively fight their
induced wars as it's distinctly, a very
genuinely needed, and undoubtedly
too a noble cause! No, it isn't! So be
honest, obviously brave and clearly
defiant for once in evidently telling
them that they, and essentially also
their families, must actually be the
first ones to go to the front lines of
these disasters they've wilfully, for
vile, graspingly financial purposes
created, to significantly justify the
carnage they've induced and thus
maybe, when they've all been lost
in that 'noble' endeavour, we: the
ordinary people will possibly also
follow their example of sacrifice!
Of course, that will never happen,
as these avid warmongers but
bogus Patriots, along with
the multitudinous scum of evil keyboard
warriors who'll vow to defend Britain to
the very last drop simply realistically of
someone else's blood but never literally
their own, will ensure no such disaster,
specifically involving themselves really
ever happens. And accordingly in such
circumstances, will clearly want peace
while significantly really endeavouring
to find ways, that their desperate wish
effectively becomes a reality! Problem
solved; and consequently, crucially no
more needless and quite witless wars!

Author's Remarks:
For braindead, bogus patriotic simpletons to virtue signalling suggest that Keir Starmer and David
Lammy shouldn't be anywhere near the Cenotaph let alone laying wreaths there as neither of them nor actually any of their family members were obviously ever in the British Armed Forces, how do you in effect know the latter? Do you undeniably, unquestionably, and truthfully know their families personally? I think not!
And how very ironic you scumbags off the cuff raising this dubious argument of yours when Long Lost Families has discernibly and repeatedly shown that many of you, so odiously hateful and pathetic white bastards of both genders proselytizing yourselves as the quintessential Englishman/woman or even Britisher don't have the foggiest notion of who your actual biological parents are let alone the remainder of your own biological family; yet here you are in the MSM making ludicrous comments about politicians whom you don't know, have probably never met, as well also in this tirade of your senseless hate incorporating their equally unknown to you family members and genuinely extensive in actual regards, all their familial relations!
Sensible people well know that in your very sick minds both World War 1 and 2, which in effect were vainglorious European wars that were both started by Britain, were gloriously won wholeheartedly and extensively by exclusively WHITE MEN like yourselves; and no one else except your genocidal cousins in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and white America, that rather conveniently you overlook their late involvement in World War 2 and then they charged Britain monumentally for their miniscule role; a huge debt that Britain only eventually paid off in the very first quarter of this the 21st Century! So why bother to enlighten you actually about your sick and pathetic delusions?
Furthermore in criticising Keir Starmer and David Lammy for not being in any of the UK's Armed Forces, here are a few other names you might like to add to your actual list: Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Teresa May, David Cameron, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, John Major, Harold Wilson, Kemi Badenoch, and notably your perceived patriot and saviour Nigel Farage amongst several others.
Besides, it's not a statutory requirement to be a former member of the British Armed Forces to run for parliament as an MP or to become Prime Minister, with a similar state of affairs discernibly similar in the USA very relative to being a Congress member or quite equally a Senator or actually President of the country. After all, there discernibly has been no more effective an avid draft dodger in the entire history of the USA than Donald Drumpf aliasTrump, and it hasn't stopped this distinctly disingenuous, lying "patriot" becoming the President of the USA to which he's clearly a first generation, Nazi German immigrant!

Hey, we're not all genocidal maniacs in Australia (I'm not really offended).
There were indigenous Australians in the wars but yeah, they don't get a lot of recognition.
As for the attack on Pearl harbour the US knew that was coming and didn't evacuate because they wanted a "legitimate" excuse to join the war. They've only technically had about 20+- years peace throughout their entire 400+ years in existence.
I knew an Iraqi girl for a brief time. As a child she was shot in the leg after the US invaded (fully recovered luckily). Her view of the country beforehand was very different from what everyone was told to believe.
This world is cracked.
We're fodder to these people.
I'm not trying to dispute anything you're saying, I'm just commenting.

First let me thank you for reading my work and employing your time subsequently to respond to it. Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments which you've actually expressed. Of course I'm fully cognizant of the fact that there are discernibly decent and very conscionable Australians and not everyone there is a clearly
and distinctly, empathetically, genocidally and a thoroughly inured moron. But that candidly said there are significantly huge numbers of them of British and Irish stock for that fact to be literally ignored!
As an Academic I'm absolutely pleased to truly see you full and objective knowledge of history as it pertains to the USA and the vast numbers of wars it has had and also commented in its entire history; more wars in overall total than it has truly been in existence as a country.
Brotish myself by birth and colonial existence, my most influencing culture is Barbadian, as it was in Barbados that I was raised and had my formative education. The links literally between Barbados and England are very strong as it was England's first colony, albeit a self governing one since 1627 and with th establishment of a parliament there in 1637, and which ongoingly is the second oldest continuous parliament in the world after the House of Commons in England itself. No concept then of a Britain far less so a United Kingdom, as the latter simply didn't exist. So I'm perfectly at liberty to actually criticize the UK because of the exceedingly and hugely significant contribution that Barbados as a realm has made to Britain. And even when George Washington implored Barbados: the only country outside of North America that he ever visited or lived in and where he learnt his own military skills, as the Military Garrison there, the oldest in the subsequent British Empire and from where England then Britain gained many of its subsequent colonies including Carolina in what subsequently became a state or rather two of the USA, to also break from England, bearing in mind the massive help that my ancestral country Barbados gave him, not only for saving the lives of himself but also his older brother physically, stating openly that without the medical help they got there there they would both have died, Barbados declined that suggest and poignant request of George Washington.
The archive records in Barbados clearly show the Barbados response. We'll help you as a friend to gain your independence from Britain but what decision we make regarding ourselves will be our own. George Washington accepted this response from his Bajan - as we Barbadians warmly, affectionately and proudly call ourselves friends, but who continued to hugely assist him in gaining independence for those initial 13 British North American colonies.
Furthermore to that the American Constitution is based significantly on the Barbados: Oistins Treaty, signed in Barbados between Barbados and England, when the latter tried to abrogate Barbados' Parliament, and likewise invade the country and failed miserably to do so because Barbados stalwartly from its renowned garrison them bravely defended our country. England was forced to concede defeat and compelled to sign the Treaty of Oistins, named after the town of Oistins on Barbados' south coast where it was signed. What was all this about? Oliver Cromwell was displeased because Barbados wasn't fully enamoured by what he'd done in England, demanded they apologised, something that Bajans don't do unless they subsequently realize they8in the wrong and will happily and magnanimously do so, but saw no reason to apologise to Oliver Cromwell for the manner in which he achieved power, which apparently insulted Cromwell's sensitivities, so he decided to teach my ancestral Bajans a lesson and contemptuously failed. The resultant outcome of which was that Barbados carried on retaining its self-governing status and its proud instituted and still ongoing quite independent parliament, known locally as the House of Assembly!
All this before George Washington was born or any English colonies on the North American continent. But George Washington did his own homework well while in Barbados and lived in a house near the Barbados Garrison, which is now a national emblem. So the subsequent USA has much to thank Barbados for. And incidentally, it was a Barbadian company which was given the contract of printing the first edition of the new USA Constitution.
So there's much that bigoted white racists and delusional supremacist don't know or if they do quite conveniently ignore or bury about the real facts of life. The bogus patriots who will defend the country they're in to the last drop of someone else's blood but never their own. The likes of serial draft dodget Donald Drumpf, alias Trump, a first generation American born in the USA because his dad fled there to avoid serving in his Bavarian Armed Forces, and with a wife heavily pregnant with the sprog we all now know as Donald, hence this pillock being born in the USA; South African apartheid prats like Elon Musk, and Franco/German Nazis like Nigel Farage. Scenarios that play well with the feudal mindset morons of British and Irish stock principally, and who according to them the two vainglorious wars exaggeratedly referred to as World Wars 1 and 2, both started by Britain, were solely won by white men and women. How I earnestly wish that they were the only participants. But sensible, intelligent and well-learned folk are fully conversant with the truth: 2 million Indians, 1 million Black Africans; hundreds of thousands of Afro-Caribbeans, the Australian Aborigees; Black Americans when their country the USA belatedly and self-servingly joined in! And the list goes on. But quite conveniently no mention of the volunteer Waffen SS Das Britische Freikorps comprised exclusively of WHITE British, Irish, Canadian, New Zealanders and Australians. The Boet and other white South Africans likewise had their own Waffen SS units!
So thank you again for responding to my poem. And all the best to you. And I'll finish with the words of ERROL WALTON BARROW, the man who took Barbados to full independence in 1966, was an openly acknowledged RAF war hero, is universally regarded as the Father of the Barbados Nation and was a personal, great mentor of myself, who I knew well and greatly admired - God eternally bless his soul - on the accession of Barbados as a member to the United Nations following its independence said these Bajan immortalized words: "We Barbadians will earnestly endeavour to be friends with everyone, but under no circumstances will we ever be again slaves or subservient to anyone!" Sentiments enamoured within me irreversibly!

Barbados sounds like a pretty good place to live.
I noticed it has a high literacy rate and free public education, its always good to have an emphasis on education (unless common core is involved, a Montessori approach is preferable personally).
It's also a Republic I mean why not thats one way England can meddle in your affiars.
(We voted not to become one, which is unfortunate).
You clearly demonstrate the benefits of a higher education with an impressive way with words and encyclopaedic knowledge.
(I'm guess you're very driven and goal orientated as in an A type personality).
It also seems like you had a very impressive role model, such influence has clearly served you very well.
"We Barbadians will earnestly endeavour to be friends with everyone, but under no circumstances will we ever be again slaves or subservient to anyone!"
I very much appreciate this mentality.
I like that you just say what you think.
Be well.

Thank you for your very appreciative comment to the earlier response I made to a previous reader's remarks. I always ask for honest opinions as I relush the truth and am never put off or actually afraid of what others might have to say about what I write. And in every case, irrespective of whether the comment is actually complimentary or otherwise I read what is said and objectively decide whether it's truly worth dealing with or being totally ignored; but never with any hatred engendered towards a critic of mine, however vile or vitriolic they are. All part of my Bajan cultural upbringing. Namely that we should never hate anyone, since by doing so we simply become just like that odiously and awful person, and in the process of actually doing so, basically utilize very significant energy and also emotions becoming just like them. Detest such individuals, of course and if necessarily so for what they are, but actually hate them? NEVER!
Yes, Barbados has a truly excellent educational system of which I was a former beneficiary. It was initially, significantly based on the Oxford and Cambridge Universities system and equally to our cultural pursuits has always been literally free and open, except at Grammar School level where a fee was charge and entry was by purely academic merit. After he became actually, and very popularly became Prime Minister, Errol W. Barrow changed the system, making grammar school educational quite totally free as well of any sort of tuition fees. My generation was thus the last one to pay tuition fees initially precisely before they ended. My oldest sister's generation and she's 2 years my junior and all others quite subsequently have never and don't pay any kind of tuition fees; as education right across the board in Barbadis is absolutely and legally free across the board from nursery school to post-graduate University level. Understandably there is a great love of education in Barbadis and kids as well as their parents and guardians do take a huge pride in the educational system. So plainly no absenteeism as is quite so commonplace in the UK. And I personally knew of sick kids who actually pretended to be well so as not to miss school.
Both at primary and non grammar elementary schools, just as with the grammar school ones promotion up to the upper class was thoroughly by academic merit, which meant if you didn't cut the mustard as it were and didn't reach the quite requisite mark academically for promotion you simply stayed in the class you were in and didn't go to the one above that until you clearly proved you capable of dealing with the academic work there, during which time you were given all the requisite help you required to do so.
At grammar schools we took the Oxford and Cambridge GCE A AND O LEVEL Examinations and Scholarship level certificates, which had in effect replaced the previous system of a mass of combined subjects, not the now customary individual ones. Promotion through school was strictly through Academic merit. At the end of each term - there were 3 annually - there was a term exam, all subjects were graded and placed in each pupil's individual Record Book that had to be taken home and perused as well as signed by the parents or guardians. At the end of the 3rd term the exams taken were to simply determine whether the respective pupils moved to the next class above their own or stayed in their current class because they had reached or personally attained the requisite mark which was 51%. If they did they moved up, if they did not they remained in the class they were in. The commonsense precept being that if you cannot do the work academically in the class you're in how can it be realistically expected for you to cope in a higher class. However, if you got over 95% overall in your subjects pass mark you skipped the class you would normally have gone to and instead entered the one that was immediately above that. So if for instance you were in Form 1 you went to Form3 and so on if you managed such academic ability. Without boasting I went from Form 1 to 3 to 5 and began my GCE O and A levels.
Barbados additionally has some of the oldest grammar school throughout the Caribbean as well as all three Americas. The oldest ones are Combermere School, Harrison's College, my own grammar school the Alleyne, whose actual founder was the elected Speaker of the Barbados Parliament for almost 3 decades and is known as Sir John Gay Alleyne, a white Bajan benefactor and philanthropist whose family was also connected with the oldest rum in the world, still going, and manufactured in Barbados where rum was invented. And if you look carefully on a bottle of Mount Gay Rum, the Gay is relative to this great Bajan!
The oldest tertiary educational system clearly throughout the aforesaid regions is also located in Barbados. It's called Codrington College and was a faculty of Durham University in the UK but when the University College of the West Indies became a fully university in it's own right having be affiliated to the University of London, Codrington College became a faculty of the University of the West Indies.
With very pertinently obvious failing educational standards across the UK, in 1972 Barbados very literally, rather distinctively scrapped the Oxford and Cambridge GCE O, A level and scholarship examinations and brought in it's own effectively tougher CXC Exams, not for my country the very Mickey Mouse GCSE farce for examinations. As well Barbados scholars who in the past happily went to Oxford and Cambridge Universities also skipped these institutions. While increasing so a number of expatriate Bajans or citizens of all their requisite countries but of Bajan heritage, sent their children to Barbados to be educated. Notably among such individuals is the late but undoubtedly outstanding USA politician and outstanding individual who became the first Black female to seriously run as a female for the presidency of the USA and who was a very notably, first Black USA Congress woman. I leave you to research her name. Shirley Chisholm rings any bells?
Added to all that Barbados has a very excellent health care system that is actually quite free to all Bajans when they live or were born in or out of Barbados. And this statement which I'm very sure will blast the minds of all white bigots; do guess, or rather more sensibly research, who in effect invented what you now know as the Google online research system, copied by the said Google and the other research companies.
It was a Black Barbian - yes you read that quite correctly - who was born and fully educated in Barbados and was a Barbados scholar. His name: ALAN EMTAGE! Don't take my word for it, Google it, no pun intended. Alan quite purposely refused to patent his invention preferring for it to be beneficially and altruistically for the benefit of mankind; but Google had other ideas. And I suggest you also read Alan's response when the USA Huffington Post asked him why he didn't patent his invention and become a multi-billionaire! Incidentally we Bajans also invented the grapefruit. And why despite being born British I'm most proud of my Barbadian heritage.
Barbadians have progressively as well as quite mentally matured both as a people and a nation while in dismay and very increasingly so seeing white Britons discernibly and extensively become rather pathetically and asininely, simply fatuously dimwitted and exceedingly gullible and hopelessly insignificant in their everyday lives, and became a state of affairs that rather particularly accounted for why Barbadians per se have sensibly, logically, intelligently and quite voluntarily, happily dispensed with 500 years of being an Englsh realm and chose instead to be a mature, 21st Century, technically advanced; truly modern and quite discernibly meritocratic democratic Republic, while disdainfully sensibly eschewing Britain's obsession with its odiously class ridden and feudal mindset compulsion!

You certainly sound like the sort of person i figured you were (Thats not a bad thing).
Clearly highly intelligent and driven, with a slight hint of perhap feeling like you need to say somethings at a more interruptible level (thats speculative, it could just be the need to be clear). I'm going to guess you were born around 1951 (or at least 2 years either way).
Obviously theres no obligation to confirm or deny that.
Remind me of an ex of mine she basically didnt need primary school (she was her mothers experiment, as she says).
She finished uni at 15 and passed the exams to be a dr and was told she couldn't practice til 18 so she said "I'm not doing it then". Became an interior architect and designer.
At school here you move no matter what it is up to the parents if you want to keep them back but of you fall behind it doesn't seem to matter.
I'm in a lot of ways, the antithesis of what you are, i was simply never interested in school. Then in high school i fell in with the "wrong" crowd, never finished. I had a lot of confidence issues (still do to a degree). Anxiety, depression (very likely O.D.D according to the person i mentioned before). Im not so much saying that as excuse more it certainly doesn't help (that and my perspective really doesn't line up with a lot of things). Plus I've never really had anything i felt I was good enough at to pursue. I got into uni later in life but i can't do structure and my anxiety kicked in. After the first lot of holidays i couldn't face people.
So now that I've lost any respect you may have had for me.
I hadn't actually heard of the woman you'd mentioned (I'm not a politics person).
In saying that she at least seemed like she was trying to do the right thing by people and i do like the fact she chose veterans affairs, they dont seem to get the help they really need so hopefully she made a good difference there (though it may have been undone since). You have to wonder what things might be like now if she'd actually became president (though I'm a firm believer that if they get to problematic they just get assassinated). I dont have a lot of faith in a lot of how this world works. I'm not saying that in a disparaging way against anything you've said I'm all for respectful dialogue (sorry for other comments I've made it was more to see how youd react, i do actually have respect for you).
I never knew the first search engine was invented by Alan Emtage, that's impressive. I'm a fan of Alan turing and Ada lovelace, so he firmly belongs amongst the pioneers of computer science/software engineering.
The fact he said there wasn't money in it at the time, despite him not being bothered. Certainly was one that deserved to get rich from it (but i guess thats why people like him dont need the money, he's already rich in something money couldn't buy... integrity).
I think its a noble occupation being a teacher though as a teenager, you dont necessarily have the same views.
They often don't get the recognition or respect they deserve and that's sad. Considering they're only trying to impart/share the love they have for a particular subject and probably feel disheartened a lot of the time.
Sorry, my grammar is lacking.
Clearly highly intelligent and driven, with a slight hint of perhap feeling like you need to say somethings at a more interruptible level (thats speculative, it could just be the need to be clear). I'm going to guess you were born around 1951 (or at least 2 years either way).
Obviously theres no obligation to confirm or deny that.
Remind me of an ex of mine she basically didnt need primary school (she was her mothers experiment, as she says).
She finished uni at 15 and passed the exams to be a dr and was told she couldn't practice til 18 so she said "I'm not doing it then". Became an interior architect and designer.
At school here you move no matter what it is up to the parents if you want to keep them back but of you fall behind it doesn't seem to matter.
I'm in a lot of ways, the antithesis of what you are, i was simply never interested in school. Then in high school i fell in with the "wrong" crowd, never finished. I had a lot of confidence issues (still do to a degree). Anxiety, depression (very likely O.D.D according to the person i mentioned before). Im not so much saying that as excuse more it certainly doesn't help (that and my perspective really doesn't line up with a lot of things). Plus I've never really had anything i felt I was good enough at to pursue. I got into uni later in life but i can't do structure and my anxiety kicked in. After the first lot of holidays i couldn't face people.
So now that I've lost any respect you may have had for me.
