King Charles and the Demise of Britain

Britain is still officially a Christian nation, but in practice, it is something quite different, and now King Charles is busy paving the way for what it is obviously becoming. According to GB News, Gavin Ashenden, who was once the chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, has recently accused the king Charles of “violating the oath he swore at his Coronation to uphold the Christian Faith.”

Ashenden is quite right. That is exactly what Charles has done, and the fact that it has caused so little of a stir in Britain is an indication of how much the nation has already departed from the values and principles it once not only upheld, but spread throughout the world. Britain is now in a transition stage. Charles has made a sharp break with the past, but he has simply acknowledged a vacuum that has existed for some time. He has not made any move to fill that vacuum, but what’s to come is quite clear. It just isn’t there yet.

“The accusation,” GB News explains, “follows Buckingham Palace’s decision to alter the monarch’s traditional title in this year’s Sovereign Grant Annual Report, replacing “Defender of the Faith” with “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”

Yeah, no. That one clearly isn’t going to catch on, and it won’t have to, as soon Britain will not be as multi-faith as it is today. A hint of what’s in store for the Sceptered Isle, or Perfidious Albion, if you prefer, was clear in the circumstances of Ashenden’s leaving his post as the queen’s chaplain: “Ashenden departed his role after criticising a church service in which a Muslim student had been invited to recite from the Koran.”

Soon enough, there will be no need for a Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation, but only for a Protector of the One True Faith of Allah within an Islamic Nation. A successor of Charles, however, may not bear such a title, for by then, there won’t be king, either.

Meanwhile, Ashenden noted correctly that Charles “has deserted Christian allegiance, turned his back on his Coronation oath [and] repudiated the support and promotion of a Christian culture.” That’s all true, but in Charles’ defense, the Anglican Church forsook Christianity for leftism quite some time ago, and so there wasn’t a whole lot of Christian allegiance to protect in Britain by the time Charles became king.

Ashenden added: “Some are asking whether his behaviour is sufficiently subversive as to raise questions about his capacity to fulfil the office of King.” Charles, however, represents the wave of the future. The next king, assuming there will be one, will be even less Christian than he is. And the situation is unlikely to improve from there.

A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.

This kind of thing has happened before, but few are aware of that fact. Back in the days when our schools and universities concentrated on teaching actual facts rather than leftist propaganda, race hatred, and gender fantasy, every schoolchild learned about the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Nowadays one would be hard-pressed to find someone under twenty who knows what a “Norman” was (they were people from Normandy, in northern France, where a large number of Norsemen from Scandinavia had settled), but a few decades ago, any random student would have been able to tell you that this conquest was not just a military victory. It heralded the thorough transformation of English society.

The invading Normans were few in number compared to the English, but once they had defeated the defenders, they set about systematically to ensure that England would remain theirs in perpetuity. They removed the native English from positions of political and ecclesiastical power. Norman French mingled with the Old English language, ultimately creating the English language as we know it today. Historian Richard Southern observed that “no country in Europe, between the rise of the barbarian kingdoms and the 20th century, has undergone so radical a change in so short a time as England experienced after 1066.”

Until now. Charles’ change of title was just one small sign of the radical change that is underway,  and much more is to come.
