In December 1936, King Edward VIII abdicated because of his love for Wallis Simpson, a twice married American woman whose second divorce was still in progress. King Edward had embraced Wallis Simpson's admiration for Adolf Hitler and had not endeared himself to the fiercely patriotic British People. Neither had Wallis Simpson. As a result, he had to make a choice: to be King of his Country or to love in exile with the woman who made him choose her before his Country and Duty.
Edward chose Wallis Simpson. I could not help but be struck by the similarities between the two speeches - one given over 80 years ago and one given barely 80 hours ago.

One of the people I most admire in modern New Zealand is Rob Moodie. A man who wore kaftans and dressed as Alice in Wonderland to go to the High Court. What a man. What a great man.
Here was a bloke, a former copper, politician, lawyer and mayor . A man who was the former Secretary of the Police Union and fought to look after Police in troubled times.
Rob Moodie was a man among men and an example of how New Zealand has and always will be a tolerant Nation. All of this rubbish that we hear today and see today about the Conservatives that hate people who are part of a minority need to have a wee look at Mr Rob Moodie, alias Alice in Wonderland.
A heterosexual man who was happily married with 3 children and liked to wear women’s clothes.
I have just seen a clip taken in Equador of rubbish trucks backing into a shallow river and dumping their loads of household or rubbish of some kind straight into the water. The river seemed to be fairly fast flowing and it got taken away almost immediately. Out to the ocean.
A very important part of life is how the family all works in with one another. When you read of some of the things that different family members get up to and how it reflects back on the other members it can be very upsetting. Not only for the Parents but for the Grandparents as well. Everyone thinks they have done their very best to show the right way for their children but sometimes the teen agers think they know best.
I received this email a short time ago and place it here for anyone interested. I have no personal knowledge of the Party other than this email so please do not take this as an endorsement.
It is place here for informational purposes only.
An Australian perspective.
Now that Andrew has shat in the birdcage, put in the dog box and sent to Coventry ( which is Warwickshire, not York by the way) it seemed perfect timing for the Sussex Assassins to swoop in and gouge the eyes out of the Royal Family. They have become the Vultures of Virtue Signalling and have left what they thought would be the corpse of the Royal Dynasty to rot while they trotted off to Toronto to tweet and taunt, torture and torment what they abandoned: a Family in crisis.

He was an intimidating man. He lumbered up to us as we sat in rocking chairs on the front porch of the trendy restaurant; talking about nothing in particular as we digested the five-star meal my friend had paid for as a treat for me.
Australia has always been a compassionate country, maybe too compassionate sometimes.
Lately, we have been ignoring the needs of our own citizens, not building for the future, not holding onto the clever individuals, letting other countries benefit from our intellectual property.
We’ve been blessed with many smart people, people with ideas that would give us an advantage against our neighbours. But we let them all go and we don’t follow through with anything.

When I learn that children today are attending libraries to be indoctrinated by transgender, transsexual or cross dressing “ entertainers “ I somehow feel that kids are victims of theft. This precious and irreplaceable learning experience, this wonder of books and the magic of the written word, the joy of imagination – it is being stolen and stifled by those who want to sexualise, politicise and poison young minds to such an extent that they will never have the love of a library like so many of us older folk do. A young man, Wilson Gavin, dared to confront some of the drag queens with dreadful and heartbreaking results. The young man who confronted the folk at the library has been found dead. Suicide. Hounded by trolls on social media? Who knows... This is getting serious.
The Woke Warriors of Hypocrisy are trying to dance the hokey pokey – putting their left foot in, their right foot out, dancing the hokey pokey shaking the Palace about. They are guilty of the greatest crime in the western world : Hypocrisy.
They apparently live in a toxic environment of unbelievable wealth and privilege that is driving them to seek mental health therapy, seclusion and privacy - while endlessly posting on Instagram about the tragedy of their pitiful and horrific lives in the public eye.

We all accept, no matter what genre of music you love, that Elvis is King. He sang rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul and gospel. He sang to our hearts and souls, our inner selves and our inner child and older heart. There was something about how he connected with us. He managed to be modern, yet traditional; old fashioned and cheeky; provocative yet respectful. No doubt that is why is and will always be “ The King “.
