Pictured are the Yeomen of the Guard during the ceremonial search of the Palace of Westminster. 14 October 2019. . ▪️The oldest British military corps still in existence, it was created by King Henry VII in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth. As a token of this venerability, the Yeomen still wear red & gold uniforms of Tudor style. There are 60 Yeomen of the Guard (plus six officers), drawn from retired members of the British Army, Royal Marines & Royal Air Force, but traditionally not the Royal Navy. This ban on Royal Navy Personnel was lifted in 2011 & two sailors joined the ranks of the Yeomen of the Guard. . ▪️One of their most famous duties is to 'ceremonially' search the cellars of the Palace of Westminster prior to the opening of parliament, a tradition that dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament. . DID YOU KNOW? The Yeomen of the Guard are often confused with the Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, popularly known as "Beefeaters", a similar but distinct body. . . . #HousesofParliament #Parliament #PalaceofWestminster #Westminster #London #QueensSpeech #history #Traditions #Traditional #Yeomen #BritishArmy #BritishArmedForces #Royalairforce #Royslnavy #Heritage #Guyfawkes #British #GreatBritain #Monarchy #royalhistory #Royalfamily #TheQueen #Tudor #Tudors #Gunpowderplot #ceremony #Ceremonial #BritishMonarchy (at Houses of Parliament) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mcieLghQW/?igshid=1gt0vcgxt6r81

You know what, I’m politically active so let’s start this thing of with a rant, I know the topic is late, but leave me be I’m lazy.

The conservatives earlier in may mentioned many grave issues in the queens speech, firstly the continuation of the disastrous police and crime bill which any Brit will let you know is the gravest attack on civil liberties since the proposed ID cards act under Blair. They also mentioned the restriction of persecution of British soldiers in Northern Ireland in response to increased tension in the region. The Tories also have supported yet increased tax cuts -only for employers of course- despite the increasing debt as a result of the governments bungling of covid.

Moving in continuation from covid, the queens speech fails to mention Tory plans to aid the economy in the wake of it, and lacks any specific content on repairing the NHS which was so brutally attacked by Austerity and not relieved during covid. Instead the Tories have graver, more questionable focuses.

Having opposed constitutional reform since its inception it will come as a shock that the conservatives support constitutional reform. A bill to reinforce the outdated doctrine parliamentary sovereignty in the courts where Parliament already holds complete power was suggested, a bill removing the 5 year minimum election frequent disguised as a repeal of the Fixed term Parliaments Act which was so quietly repealed in 2020, and finally a plan to sow the seeds of a Trump-esque voter fraud myth by imposing Identification cards for voting which will massively effect poorer and minority groups in the UK, withholding their right to vote under the guise of defending against the single piece of voter fraud in the 2019 election are all the constitutional reforms they proposed. They are awful.

These policies lack a mandate, however the system of parliamentary sovereignty and First Past the Post tricks the majority of people to believe that they do, these are by no means wise decisions, continuing austerity will not recover the economy and reforming the law and constitution to make voting and Protesting harder is not what Britain needs, Britain needs to repeal the system of parliamentary sovereignty in favour of a true system of popular sovereignty.
