The splendid era of Elizabeth is over. Can Australia now become a republic? : Comments

By Everald Compton, published 14/9/2022

So, lets cut out the emotional nonsense and get down to discussing how Australia formally severs its connections with a decadent Downton Abbey society and becomes an independent nation.

"sworn allegiance to him (except the Royal Navy)"

Why is that?

King Charles went to Northern Ireland
To show the people their new king
While signing documents he lost his temper
A leaky pen was not his thing

It wasn't fitting for a monarch
To lose it quite so easily
Her Majesty would not have lost it
She'd have continued signing peaceably

We shouldn't blame Charles for having lost it
He's got a great deal on his plate
There's so much now he has to carry
Being a monarch is no easy fate

If he's wise he'll take it slowly
We can invite him to our shores
Where he can leave behind all the regalia
And bask in a country that he knows

The king is trained as a commando
This is something we've been told
He knows how to jump from a plane
But would he for us be so bold?

Can we rely on the British
If our country was attacked?
We didn't excite Churchill's interest
And sadly that's a historic fact

Signing treaties helps a lot
And the AUKUS we have got
So the only thing that we can do
Is trust our gut and stay true blue.

Cumberland,
The Royal Navy was created by the Crown and is considered loyal upon enlistment, whereas the Army was created by Parliament and by extension the Royal Air Force, and so, swear allegiance.

Maverick,
Doesn't Charles look just like Spike Milligan in this clip ?

Dear Is Mise,

You wrote: "If he ever needs to call on the Armed Forces I am sure that they will stick by their oath."

Like he stuck by the oath to his wife?
