The question has been asked of the ghastly Green Mereen Faruqi ( "I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire...") by a immigrant writer why she left the republic of Pakistan to live here, a constitutional monarchy.

She should heed Pauline Hanson, who suggested that she "piss off back to Pakistan".

Mehreen Faruqi's insensitive comments on the passing of
Her Majesty were inappropriate for an Australian federal
senator to make. In a time when the world and Australians
unite in their grief at the loss of a much loved monarch
her comments lacked common courtesy, good manners, and
civility. As a federal senator of a colonized society
she should have known better. It just may cost her
her seat in parliament.

Talking about skin colour?

A few thought come to mind.

So many colours in the human race
So many cultures and different forms of face
Why so much hatred and so much dread
We should celebrate our humanity as we all bleed red

Dear Hasbeen,

How's it going old cock? Good?

So it seems you have sat there with the cogs whirring thinking of a retort to what I had put, but nothing surfaced out of that poor old atrophied skull so your resorted to that comment?

Well what ever gets you through your day I suppose.

<<On Friday (Mehreen) Faruqi, the deputy leader of the Greens, expressed condolences “to those who knew the Queen” but said she “cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples”.>>

Like my good friend, I held no personal animosity towards Elizabeth Windsor. Do I grieve her passing, not in a personal sense, no more than I grieve the deaths of countless anonymous people who die in the world each day. In her position of monarch she represented the as yet unrepentant behaviour of the now passed British Empire.

"racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples" stating an obvious fact.

I think it was Maverick who said; we are now being subjected to "mourn porn" I must agree. For those who want to weep tears of sorrow and flagellate themselves in the name of grief, go right ahead, but the demand we all do it, is beyond the pale. What is being demanded is all should pay adulation to the "Establishment", which Mrs Windsor as the titular head represented....corgis, flower shows and school fetes included.

I'm also considering ELxit or Queenxit for our Queensy Babe's Exit.
