Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray for today Naseby Day!
On these Northamptonshire fields in the middle of England
in 1645 (given a calendar change around a century later)
the Parliamentarians defeated the Royalists in the most
decisive battle of the Great Civil War, to in full time created
this royal republic that to tell truth to power Whitehall and
Westminster will be brought to book as to tell truth to influence
much of the media specially the oligopoly Press with its self-righteous
arrogance will be altered for good by the judicial Leveson Enquiry
untying the Gordian knot tying party to papers as today most rightly,
should be sad too the as today is Liberation Day in the Falkland Islands
as we and the Argentinians remember the war dead, praying that
that these two Christian states and liberal democracies may truly
try to keep to the high principles that both claim as their truest cause.
Hip Hip Hooray for Naseby Day, for Leveson Days, and for Falklands Day!
