"Off with their heads," as Charles and Camilla
were driven through.

The last words that Rachel used, that this is what other governments are hoping does not spread... Rachel I love you, but this is building.

This is pushback.

And I will say it again... that car is armored, that includes the windows... and thankfully they did not follow ACTUAL procedure, (to my shock) or they would have run over a few people...

I am also expecting the security team to change a few people... that was impressive footage.

1. Forget Charles and Camilla. Off with the head of the biggest bankster of all - Lord Mayor
of the City of London.

2. Why do you think they were where they were?

It was incredible footage.

And this one, I am posting because a line was crossed today. The Royals have no power... really... they are nominal rulers, but they have no real power.

The words, last time they were said if memory serves was the glorious revolution.

This is the closest to a real life anti nobility riot we have seen in close to 300 years.

Oh and I am with the students but my historian trained ear just definitely perked up.

6. Only the royal family
and that is the agreement coming from the Glorious Revolution.

Britain has had that discussion.

But that is neither here or there. This foofage showed the real sentiment in the UK... as that line was crossed.

That is why it sent chills down my back... I get it why this is so damn serious. I am sure Charles gets it too... and hopefully the PM will get it too.

The austerity is leading to something major there.

Which is part of the at least European and American confluence of events. This is starting to have a feeling of something familiar that elites hate.

Last time they decided to destroy a well fed middle class...

11. It's not just Austerity - it's that everyone KNOWS it's for the very wealthy to get even more.
That the austerity is only for those us in the 90% who own a mere 7% of wealth.

12. Exactly
and I mean the RF is small potatoes really... it is at the banks.

But as I wrote bellow thread... I am starting to think that this was not just a goof from the security team. There is no way in hell they did not know where the students were, and for the security team to avoid the whole mess, even if the route was longer.

There are times I wish I did not know some of the stuff I know.

of course motive would be a good question... since geting Charles killed or severely injured could have interesting effects.

Oh and does my tin foil show too much? but on this one... there is no way they did not know... he is too valuable of a goose egg... a package in the parlance.

5. I thought about Charles I - his head went rolling some time ago also.
While royals have no power there is one reason they might have been attacked. Taxpayer money is what pretty much supports the whole royal family. These students are being cut while I seriously doubt that the Lords and royals are taking any cuts. Just like our rich.

7. What the heck were they doing driving thru that
crowd in the first place? Camilla with all her jewels on in a Rolls Royce. It's like throwing salt on an open wound.

I hope they were scared shitless.

8. You can bet they were
and actually it is not them... their security team punted... severely.

On the bright side, once they punted, they did not follow procedure.. from the footage I think for about thirty seconds they could not.... if they had... some people would have died tonight.

9. Yes, I am sure that it is the practice to go full speed ahead regardless
of who is in the way. They were smart not to do that because that would have really opened the royals up as THE target.

10. I watched a few times
and I think they really could not.... until the cops showed up.

One of the cops looks scared for his life, which I am sure was at risk.

The review will be something to behold.

And what is sad, is that the real targets are not even Charles and Camila, but the people in Parliament and the Banks. I am sure those people are having the good sense to stay away.

Do I want to go into the conspiracy ground and even sugest this foopah was NOT a mistake? Serious... been part of a team, and you pretty much know where is trouble before you form a convoy.

13. Re: "I am sure those people are having the good sense to stay away."
One can always bank on the powers-that-be slithering out of the limelight.
