the main jobs of the Queen :

-eat cake
- wear silly hats
- be polite and do not make a scene in public
- speak anodyne platitudes about the weather but actually say nothing of any import.

There's been so much chipping away at the foundations of this country over the last 30 years or so that it's not just the monarchy that's going to crash and burn over the course of the next couple of generations. If you continue to weaken the base of a structure, it's going to come down, no two ways about it.

In her Coronation Oath, 1953 the Queen answered 'I will.' to following from the Archbishop.

Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, pakistan, and Ceylon, and of your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?

The Queen signed into assent the Treaty of Rome 1957, the EEC act 1972, the Maastrict treaty 1992, the Barcelona treaty 1995 and Lisbon 2007.

Then the soon to become Queen answered 'All this I promise to do.' to the following.

Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?

Now I'm not religious but I've seen the rise of other religions in this country even dent the rule of secularism.....with parallel district courts and laws almost amounting to blasphemy being introduced here.

Whether it is to do with signing away sovereign powers to outside institutions or watching the decline and loss of Christian hegemony in the country the Queen has said and done nothing.

I know she is only a representative but she should have made a stand at some point but she has done nothing. Perhaps she is weak or badly advised but that's no excuse for her position. Indeed when we look at what she has said all that appears important is maintaining the monarchy....while watching what it's meant to do vanish.

I'm coming to the conclusion that she probably has betrayed her Coronation Oath.

You know what I'm kind of proud of that post.

I guess I was just displaying my disillusionment with the weakness of our institutions and how there wasn't even the semblance of push back.

That oath meant that one really should have happened.
