If inane chatter could ****
the Blighty Monarchy would have died
ages ago
As it is the great Unwashed line the street
and wave flags
Royal souvenirs fly off the shop shelves
and millions are paid
by rubber-necks to traipse around the Palaces
somethings' called Reds
have terminal apoplexies causing red faces
and chase around
hounding African royalty and hollering revolution
Some say its their revenge
on the Zulus who despite heavy losses annihilate
the Blighty garrison and the Redcoats
some say the Reds were driven mad because their
Redcoat soldiers died for diamonds
which ended in Royal Crowns and the royal orbs
the red commoners got little
So to this day the Reds blame the African royals
Yes, its now Revolution time
hehe.....hahaa
The Zulu army suffered anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 killed. The battle was a decisive victory for the Zulus and caused the defeat of the first British invasion of Zululand. The discovery of diamonds in 1867 near the Vaal River, some 550 miles (890 km) northeast of Cape Town, ended the isolation of the Boers in the interior and changed South African history. The discovery triggered a diamond rush that attracted people from all over the Empire, and drew the attention of British imperial interests. In the 1870s, the British annexed West Griqualand, site of the Kimberley diamond discoveries. The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa, Conquest of Africa, or the **** of Africa,[1][2] was the invasion, occupation, division, and colonization of most of Africa by seven Western European powers during a short period known to historians as the New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914). The 10 percent of Africa that was under formal European control in 1870 increased to almost 90 percent by 1914, there were vast mega fortunes and natural resources to be plundered and looted plus a pool of cheap labour and yes they were duly taken. Only a few African Ruling Royalty protested and they were swiftly dealt with. The Reds are now after one minor African royalty for revenge because they, the modern reds never got any of the loots plundered. Most of them are on Welfare. They believe the small African royal has diamonds hidden away ....haha
