Charlie was Pro-Gun Ownership and was Socially Conservative!

UK: Charlie’s Neck Wound was Fatal – But the Kirk Reassured Him – Despite the Discrepancy with the Date! (23.9.2025)

Although plundered, dismantled, and generally neglected, the stone slabs that constituted the centra aisle of the Chapel of St George were firm and intact. Although Henry VIII had only been dead for around 100-years – and given that much of his reforms had led directly to the Civil Wars – it is incredible to think that nobody remembered where he was buried. That is until the occupying Parliamentarians, having hit one of the slabs with a stick, noticed a hollow noise was returned. Having accidently re-discovered Henry’s tomb – it was decided that Charlie would be laid to rest with his fellow despots – even though he was a Stuart from Scotland and Henry was a Tudor from Wales. Although decisively hit in the neck by the executioner’s blow (using an axe) – there is some disagreement as to whether the head of Charles was sown back upon his neck – which was the usual practice. Some say “yes” – whilst others say “no”. Whatever the case, when Charlie gave the agreed signal – the executioner brought-down the axe and the bigoted rhetoric of Charlie suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Execution of King Charles I - Charlie Hit in the Neck!

On Why Charlie Was Killed With a Blow to the Neck – I Cannot Remain Silent Any Longer! (12.9.2025)

This privileged section of the peasantry left the majority of its class behind as the aristocracy granted it ever greater levels of political influence and social dominance. Eventually, this new “Middle Class” was trusted with procuring weaponry and hiring fighting men for the nobility – a position the bourgeoisie eventually used for its own empowerment. This is why across Europe numerous Civil Wars broke-out between the bourgeoisie and the nobility – with each vying with the other to attract the peasantry to their respective banners. In the case of the English Civils Wars (three conflicts that occurred in the 1640s and 1650s) – Parliament had been slowly infiltrated by bourgeois Members of Parliament (MPs) over a long period of time. These individuals played-ball for decades before showing their true class colours and finally taking on the English State.

Historical British Army “Ranks” & “Formations”! (30.8.2024)

There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”. The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.

London: Souvenir “Grenadier Guard” Lead Soldier! (26.9.2023)

In this sense the ancient ritual of ‘guarding’ is a charade – or a piece of very interesting ‘theatre’ that constitutes a living history. These guards are professional soldiers trained to fight on the modern battlefield – but also ‘volunteer’ to learn all the required skills to ‘march’, ‘stand’ and ‘patrol’ just like a British Infantry Soldier did during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Once upon a time – soldiers in the British Army used march into battle dressed in these uniforms and behaving in this manner – whilst advancing on the enemy standing in straight ranks and moving slowly but precisely forward with fixed bayonet! As the dead and wounded in the front-line fell to the ground – soldiers in the supporting ranks would move up and take their place without effecting the momentum of the attack!

Socialist Organisational Structures in Napoleon’s Elite ‘Imperial Guard’ [Garde Imperiale]! (6.9.2023)

In the UK, Oliver Cromwell’s ‘New Model Army’ possessed such structures (abolished after the so-called ‘Restoration’ of a Constitutional Monarchy in the UK) – as did the Soviet Red Army. Today, the Armed Fotces of Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and North Korea possess ‘People’s Armies’ all possessing a strict discipline which is coupled with egalitarian bodies where all constituent members are considered ‘equal’! The British Regiments of Foot which took on and finally defeated the ‘Imperial Guard’ at the (1815) Battle of Waterloo – picked-up the bearskin hats worn by the ‘Grande Armee’ – and after removing the regimental name plates, insignia and symbols of rank, were granted permission by the British government to wear these garments as part of their parade uniforms.
