So writes the ever-controversial Peter Hitchens in his Mail on Sunday column:
"The present Queen is undoubtedly very nice. But she has badly damaged the throne by failing to speak out when she might have done - especially against the surrender of our independence to the European Union, which undermined her own position. And it is a myth that she has remained carefully neutral. Far from it.
In 1998 she went out of her way to endorse the Blair Government’s abject surrender to the terrorist godfathers of the IRA. Her stance on this contentious issue helped Mr Blair to bamboozle Northern Ireland’s Protestants into voting ‘yes’ in the rigged referendum that will eventually place them under Dublin rule, so that they cease to be the Queen’s subjects.
In her 2004 Christmas broadcast she proclaimed ‘diversity is indeed a strength’ - a Royal endorsement of the multiculturalism many oppose and dislike."
The Hitch hopes Prince Charles will be much better.
