199 years ago today....the anniversary of Waterloo."UP GUARDS AND AT 'EM"

Today is the anniversary of the last time the French tried to lock horns with the British. Sunday 18th June 1815. The Battle of Waterloo. The little Corsican corporal watched in horror as the 1st Foot guards and the 52nd Regiment of foot stopped , staggered and then turned back his elite Old Guard.
The victory placed Britain in a leading position in the world.  Taken together with the Industrial Revolution and Nelson's victory ten years earlier at Trafalgar, Britain was the world's first super power.
Two centuries on the strange noise you can hear is that made by the 'Iron Duke' turning in his grave.

I've been to the battlefield at Waterloo twice and have since become fascinated by this battle. There is now a restaurant where the battle took place and on the floor is a silver plaque commemorating the exact spot where Napoleon surrendered.

Below is the battle cry of the British soldiers at Waterloo, 1815.

Labour Party = traitors who hate Britain and proud native Brits said...

Great article TC. More historical articles would be appreciated. Wellington and all other great Britons who have no departed would indeed be spinning in their graves if they could see what the traitors have done to this once great country.

What's happened to this Country is really bad.
In 1955 Winston Churchil said "keep Britain white" would be a good election slogan.
Now you can get pulled by the police for saying "just off the boat"

Sir Winston Churchill - Keep England White said...

Sorry it was "keep England white"
In this fine British tradition Sir Winston Churchill attempted to introduce a Bill to control immigration in 1955. He also wanted the Conservative Party to adopt the slogan “Keep England White”.

It wasn't the Old Guard that went up the hill and got pointblanked, it was the Middle Guard.

Yes, I have read sources which say that,as well as sources which claim the British Foot Guards attacked the Chasseurs s Pied who were Old Guard. Or were the 3rd and 4th battalions not regarded as "old" Guard? The fact that David Chandler refers to Grenadiers/Chasseurs and not Fusiler-Grenadiers/Fusilier Chasseurs led to my use of he word "Old"

The Labour party is no longer the party of the working class, it is increasingly the party of the exponentially growing immigrant vote, particularly the non-White Commonwealth vote, 85% of whom vote Labour.
Labour are fully aware of this as it is simply the coming to fruition of their policy, circa 2000 - 2008, of mass importation of replacement voters for their White British working class vote who were and are dying off.
The Conservatives are fully aware of this too yet are led by people too cowardly to react to it, even to the point where it could electorally destroy them.
This is because the Race/immigration issue is an unmentionable subject to the spineless upper echelons of their leadership, and it is absolute anathema to the gutless, public school twit and man at the very top, Cameron himself. Without any question the most disconnected from reality and public opinion, Prime Minister Britain has ever had. Witness his obsessive support for: homosexual marriage (his wife's brother is one); bombing Syria; the total lack of Tory party reaction to the (disastrous for the Conservatives) massive electoral rise of UKIP, etc etc.

I am hard pushed trying to think of a better way to put it!

You make valid points and remind us of facts "They" would like forgotten.

I am reminded of Dr Frank Ellis who said, if I may paraphrase his words, "Such are the problems caused by the multi cultural experiment that it is not for those who oppose it to prove their case (though they can easily do so ) but for those who support it to prove theirs"

50m refugees would like to settle in good old Blighty said...

According to the race industry every one of these 50 million refugees have the right to settle in Britain and anyone who disagrees is a nazi/fascist/racist/hater/bigot. Until people stand up to the race industry carpetbaggers they will continue on their mission to destroy the country. Next time you see some grinning Labourite at your door, Labour are at the centre of the race industry, give them a piece of your mind.

stabbed 16 times 'for wearing a hijab' (no proof whatsoever for this outrageous claim) said...

The horrific stabbing of James Attfield went virtually unreported but the murder of a foreign national becomes main news. Why? Because it proves beyond doubt that the murder of an Englishman is far less important than the murder of a muslim from Saudi Arabia. Why can't our people see the contempt that they are held in from the ruling elite and the Zionist controlled mass media? What will it take to rouse these sheeple from their slumber? It would appear they are more interested in flying a tatty English flag made in China (once every 4 years) and supporting a bunch of overrated Africans playing for the national team, rather than defending their Race and Nation from hatred within and without!

Pair jailed for Mosque bacon attack said...

A teenage girl and 39-year old man who desecrated an Edinburgh mosque by attacking it with strips of bacon have both been jailed.

Chelsea Lambie, 18, from Paisley, was sentenced to 12 months and Douglas Cruikshank, from Galashiels, to nine months.

They attached bacon to door handles and threw strips inside Edinburgh's Central Mosque on 31 January 2013.

Cruikshank pled guilty. Lambie was found guilty after denying the charges.

Desecration eh, no desecration here though when Christian graves were truly being desecrated in Longsight.

Never let it be said that this country would be better without third world immigrants. Think of the sporting glory these patriotic newcomers bring us. Where would the England football team be if were not a team full of immigrants? Britain and England were nothing before the immigrant invasion. We had nothing and won nothing. Since the immigrant invasion we have become a leading world power and a footballing colossus.

@ Pair jailed for mosque bacon attack, 12 months in prison for putting bacon on a door handle when hundreds of thousands of repeat offenders with long and appalling criminal records are routinely fined, given suspended sentences or merely cautioned (naughty boy don't do it again) for crimes as serious as burglary, violent assaults, vicious street robberies, rape etc etc.
This absurd, draconian overreaction of a sentence is based on the establishment's fear of, and realisation that, their lunatic, multicultural mass importation of millions of hostile aliens has led to a situation where one spark at the wrong time and place will ignite an unstoppable conflagration.
Sentencing should reflect the seriousness of the offence, and provide appropriate punishment and deterrent, not be based on political correctness and hysterical fear of reaction from the 'community'.
Re the horrendous stabbing incident, the perpetrator should be executed.
As for other attacks/killings that are PROVEN to be Race/community related, committed by whatever section of society, I predict a significant increase in such incidents in the near future, as cultural and racial tensions rise on all sides, particularly if the British indigenous people have an awakening and realise what has been done to THEIR country.

The Friendly Face of Colonisation said...

Should anyone not believe that we are close to the tipping point of a catastrophe of biblical proportions, please I beg of you, if you have transport go to Platt Fields Park in Rusholme and the surrounding area to see what awaits you. You may say I am in Hyde/Dukinfield/Stalybridge etc and it is miles away and it doesn’t affect me but you are wrong. An army of conquest and occupation is currently building its bridgehead. I guarantee you that when they launch their attack, first by stealth and then a full on assault, the scenes we are witnessing on our TV screens today in Iraq and Syria will in the not too distant future be happening in a street near you. The political criminals and traitors who have allowed this situation to develop will flee when the assault begins and it will be us and our children who will be slaughtered by the hordes. People wake up or you will one day regret you took no action when you still had chance.

Red Dawn said...

@ The friendly face of colonisation, debate with an enemy like this and its indigenous British traitor allies is pointless.

It's obvious what's coming. The true Brits who already KNOW what side they're on are prepared. The talkers, appeasers, cowards and fence sitters better make their minds up ready for when the civil war starts.
