“A Country defended by Free men, enthusiastically devoted to the cause of their King and Constitution, can never be Conquered."
Major General Sir Isaac Brock
"With our common feelings of loyalty & allegiance to our common sovereign, influenced by all the principles which actuate British subjects to desire to live & die under the British crown, we should have in favor of this means of connection the pecuniary interests of British Columbia, inclining them to unite more firmly to the rest of the Dominion, all of the Provinces thus becoming one country in principle, loyalty and interest."
Prime Minister John A. MacDonald
"If I had influence over the minds of the people of Canada, any power over their intellect, I would leave them this legacy: ‘Whatever you do, adhere to the Union. We are a great country, and shall become one of the greatest in the universe if we preserve it; we shall sink into insignificance and adversity if we suffer it to be broken."
Prime Minister John A. MacDonald
Rise again, rise again; though your heart it be broken
And life about to end
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again
-Stan Roger's "Mary Ellen Carter"
Englishman, mid 50's, lived in southern Africa for years, these days in beautiful Australia.
Former professional infantry soldier. published writer, have worked at sea. Agnostic (cultural Christian) right of centre politically, generally reactionary and nationalist; these days dissident right. I love the natural world. Support wildlife conservation and animal welfare, like all dogs and a fair number of humans. I support ending all mass immigration into Great Britain, Australia and other Western nations
Dislikes: The regressive left, the unreformed Dark Ages ideology that is Islam (it is not a race and it is not just a religion) feminists and all things politically correct (and strongly associated attempts to destroy Western men and masculinity) adult babies who get 'triggered' by life, the idiotic and wasteful 'war on drugs', 99% of political types across all parties (generally speaking they lie for a living). censorship.
Likes: Free speech, the old Commonwealth (ie, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand and the Western democracy supporters of South Africa) the Anglosphere (ie, the English speaking world, including the USA) Brexit and British independence from the anti-democratic EU, Western democracy, Western civilisation, the Royal Navy (my son is serving in the Senior Service) strong defence forces that act as a deterrent to aggression and can win if you have to fight. Science, history, books, travel (been to almost 50 nations, lived on three continents) wild places, the ocean, reasonably cute women in short skirts and heels, Tradition (in the shape of things like Trooping the Colour, ANZAC Day parades and Naval Sunset ceremonies, it reminds us who we are, and what our, generally, proud history is) cricket, rugby union, sailing, humour.
Places I most love in the World, aside from Great Britain, Australia and South Africa (especially what is now KwaZulu-Natal) are the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. Check out my Youtube channel '99IronDuke'.
