Contrary to the propaganda of the political establishment, republican opposition to the British royalty is not based upon anti-English racism or religious sectarianism. It is instead based upon an unfaltering opposition to British imperialism in Ireland and elsewhere.
Irish apologists for the British royalty often attempt to portray the Windsors as ‘an ordinary family who are just doing their job’. Nothing could be further from the truth. The British royal family is in fact an institution of the British state and one with particularly strong links to the British military at that.
The head of the British royal family is, as of birthright, the Commander-in-Chief of the British military and the British Head of State. Virtually all male, and many female, members of the British royal family serve in the British military at some point in their lives. Indeed every single British gunman swears an oath of allegiance to the incumbent monarch before they are packed off to wars in foreign climes.
Pictured here is Charles Windsor, the next in line to the British throne, Commander-in-Chief of the murderous Parachute Regiment, meeting and greeting with senior members of Sinn Féin.
Charlie Windsor’s regiment is responsible for some of the most heinous and notorious crimes committed against the Irish people during the most recent period of conflict, including the Bloody Sunday & Ballymurphy massacres; events which have yet to receive the necessary ‘justice’.
