Farewell, Brittania.

I won’t be coming to your funeral, O once great lady.

Haven’t the Hindus been British subjects for a very long time? Something tells me it’s not the Hindus who are objecting or they would have done it before now.

It is amazing how quickly the British are flushing 2000 years of magnificent history and civilisation.

This due simply to abject cowardice before hateful, dead-end barbarians with comparatively zero accomplishments in their own “culture”.

Well, this could cause a bit of problem with Britain’s Honours System. Just to name a few:

Order of the Garter (highest honour): Star has Cross of St George, badge is St. George and the Dragon

Order of St. Michael and St. George (diplomatic order): Cross of St. George on Star

Order of the Bath: induction ceremony is that of the consecration of a Christian Knight.

Order of St. John of Jerusalem (Medical Order) Cross of St. John

Victoria Cross (highest valour award): Cross Patee

Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (second highest valour award and created only about 20 years ago): Cross

Distinguished Service Order (military order): Cross

Military Cross: Cross

Distinguished Flying Cross: Cross

Don’t you just hate it when these Christian countries go around willy nilly using Christian symbols.

It will be replaced with the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

That won't do, either. Trinidad is simply Spanish for "trinity." Gotta stamp out all Christian references.

That’s what happens when your politically correct leaders and your Muslim/Islamic Prince Charles rule.

This actually has nothing to do with the Queen and British law.

Trinidad and Tobago became a republic in 1977, replacing the Queen of Trinidad and Tobago (Queen Elizabeth II) and her viceroy, the Governor-General, with a ceremonial President elected by an Electoral College.

However, due to a quirk of law, The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago kept the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom as it’s highest court of appeal. In making this ruling the Privy Council would have relied on the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago, not British law.

This ruling does not effect the United Kingdom in any way shape or form.

Bet there is no such thing as being "too Islamic" or "too atheist" though, is there?
