LADY THATCHER R.I.P.
It is a short fortnight ago that Lady Thatcher's funeral dominated the
headlines both here and abroad. Although this is now a memory, it nevertheless
crystallised a choice for the future of England.
There has been much said as to the bias of the television coverage. The
view of the English Rights Campaign is that the BBC has attracted more that its
fair share of adverse comment – although as the national broadcaster funded
with taxpayers' money then it should be supportive of the national
interest than is regrettably the case. The main hostility to Lady Thatcher was
voiced in the news bulletins and Sky News was as hostile as any. One
broadcaster even had someone from Argentina voicing his opinion as to the harm
Lady Thatcher had allegedly done to that country [would we have had Germans
complaining of the harm done to Germany by WWII at Winston Churchill's
funeral]. The lies about the sinking of the Belgrano were peddled yet again.
The BBC can take credit for its excellent live coverage of the funeral, as well
as the documentary by Andrew Marr which was objective and informative. The
Church of England too can take credit for an excellent funeral service and the
Bishop of London made a fitting address.
Newsnight, as ever, resorted to cultural Marxism and advanced the line
that the service was out of date and even imperialistic!
Yet what the funeral demonstrated was the stark alternatives facing
England and the UK as a whole. The funeral represented traditional British
virtues of patriotism and Christianity. Lady Thatcher was unashamedly proud of
our history and our culture. It was this pride and these values that Lady
Thatcher presented to the nation at her funeral. This was why it attracted the
venomous hostility of the alternative view – one of political correctness with
its hatred of the West and of everything that Lady Thatcher stood for.
This is the choice we now face. We can rally to campaign to rebuild our
nation and defend our culture and values; or else we can sit back and watch the
politically correct systematically destroy our country.
