Waterloo

Waterloo 200 years ago Wellington and Blucher with soldiers made up of ruffians and ISIS type henchmen, beat Napoleon’s army won and that was sad kings and the nobility continued to rule unelected and setting back an European revolution that could have saved us from a world one brought fraternity and equality to a reality which is not today where aristocracy do as they please while paying lip service to democracy. And I saw them today the crowned head and nobility safely under canvas protected against nature wilful play, the privileged people talking about equality while they want nothing of the sort if they cannot control its outcome. Flags and salutes they like uniforms and men. Yes, for this is a male oriented celebration.
