Tyranny does not ends well for the tyrant
WHEN the godless forces of Chinese communism unleashed their Death Plague on the world, little did they know quite what effect it would have.
And they must now clap their bloodsoaked hands in glee.
Our civilisation has been reduced to a ruin of its former self.
Bad enough that the pandemic has killed countless thousands here and abroad.
But the illness has struck at truth, liberty and democracy, the very things most hated by the sinister rulers of Peking.
The freedom-loving peoples have cowered in the face of increased state control.
Whole populations have been forced by state terror to comply with arbitrary and nonsensical rules.
Our rulers have become a sect, detached, aloof, and uncaring.
The scandal of the Downing Street Party is, perhaps, just the most visible manifestation of this.
Great Britain, the very cradle of parliamentary democracy and the crucible of liberty has become, in many ways, a clone of the evil People’s Republic of China.
Exaggeration
An exaggeration?
We have a nation where security forces use space age drones to spy on ramblers in the hills.
We have daughters arrested for hugging their terminally-ill mothers.
The full weight of the law crashes down on those who refuse to wear pathetic rags on their faces.
The police REFUSE to investigate those in power who are caught out breaking the rules.
There is a word for this: TYRANNY.
We British are a peace-loving people, quick to grumble but slow to anger.
But one thing that angers the Briton more than any other thing is overweening rulers who would deny our nation the freedoms uniquely granted to us by the Lord God Almighty.
Centuries ago, a king was beheaded in Whitehall when he grew too big for his boots.
Of course, nobody is calling for such extreme measures to be taken against our present rulers.
But Boris Johnson should know that tyranny seldom ends well for the tyrant.
Ask Herr Hitler, Nicolae Ceausescu, Saddam Hussein or Colonel Gaddafi.
And as a classical scholar he should tremble at the words, Sic semper tyrannis.
