@@milbertg.bongolo5342 5 members case

@@milbertg.bongolo5342 how did he did that??

@@adrian1622 with his army.

One day a Black Rod will bust a hole through that door and...um...penetrate.

Straight up pantomime villan

@@mpg272727 your picture scares me

id say the queen has it...

@@theriam6281 yes. Receiving millions of pounds from taxpayers for sitting there and doing nothing. And about how people say the queen plays a huge role in the interest of tourists, the money from that is mostly given to the queen probably. And even if we had the pm live in Buckingham palace, people love the palace more I would say.

@@GMA20494 you know the queen generates more income then she takes yea? also its not just our head of state she creates strong diplomatic ties with all the commonwealth realm.

I was waiting to hear something from Mr Skinner! 😂😁

😂😂😂 predictable!

Ha. Well now he has gone.

I thought he said I'm Not Going.

He gone gone now, will never be going again. :DD

"Not today... Not today." - Black Rod.

Well once upon a time…

Once upon a time this was true

Same here

Very depressing traditions and culture the English have even here in Australia no one really mixes with them unlike the Irish, Scots and many other cultures that make Australia who mix in pretty well. English are just lame, arrogant, greedy tight arses their with heads so deep up their own ass.

TokeE420 bet you’re a fun guy to know. Chill out

@@TaLeBogan710 Alrgiht mate, that's enough juice for one day.

@@TaLeBogan710 I’m gonna guess you’ve never been to England

Yes

Oof 😅 he got his turn now

@@jackwhite3934 can you pls stop, they didn't hate each other, that's how the media shows it, doesn't mean it's true The Queen broke royal protocol bowing at her coffin, she wouldn't have done that if she didn't care

@@jackwhite3934 no, you deal with the truth

this did not age well 😂

The MPs would think King Charles I was back from the dead.

@@GlyntTheCat they would all start running from the fuzz

@@GlyntTheCat PREPARE THE GALLOTINE!!!!

In the film 'Cromwell', the men at arms that Charles I brought with him in 1642 did use a battering ram of sorts (it looked like a bench seat to me) to break open the doors!

@@Hezkezl That's what this ceremonial process is based off of, reportedly.

It's exactly the contrary. The ceremony is a constant reminder of what happened to Charles I when he defied the House of Commons

Yes. The UK is a fair and just democracy. Its leaders are in no way the most venal, hypocritical people around, and Covid has in no way shown this. I'm glad some people haven't jumped the shark...

It's a joke... Seeing grown adults who are meant to be running the Country do shit like this is pathetic. It's so childish, just an embarrassment. Also why "God bless her Majesty"? She does fuck all

@@bushit123456 That doesn't make it the opposite

Too bad you brits took away from those other countries already.

@@77ghostx bro chill but yeah its true tho

@@77ghostx TOOK AWAY FFS THEY WERE GIVEN INFRASTRUCTURE IT AINT ANYONE ELSES FAULT BUT THEOR OWN IF ITS GONE TITS UP .

@@77ghostx what cultures ? Most of the colonies just had stone age societies

Yes and no, in order for traditions to mean anything, they need to be rooted in something that has happened that binds all the people of that tradition. This black rod ceremony (as you know) is done in not just for the sake of doing it, but in remembrance of a event. Trying to force creating a tradition in the name of being unique does nothing, and will just erode away, and block out what could be something greater, or a more defining moment of a nation.

My understanding is that Anti Monarchy was simply a causus Belli for Colonial landowners to avoid taxation. The majority of humble Colonial farmers were pro British.

@@neil5307 taxation was a huge part of the rebellion- dare I say the catalyst, but i'm not so sure about the "Pro British" piece. In what sense? Based on what I read it seemed to be of great importance for the First Continental Congress to form a unique identity for the United States. Some people such as John Adams still wanted titles of nobility but it was more for vanity rather than pro-monarchy or pro- Britishness.

@@rpk5216 The wealthy and powerful made the most noise, and the humble farm workers abd small farmers really had to comply with the views of the landowners. Brirain was protecting the Colonists from various enemies, so taxation was reasonable. I think the main issue is that a lot of Colonists were Arable farmers, and not growing cash crops such as tobacco and sugar, and so were less dependent on international trade, or alternatively wanted to start to dictate local cash crop prices.

As the Queen or the monarchy is the institution that hands out titles of nobility you cannot have them without her/it.

@@neil5307 actually many of the colonist living in the south were pro British at the start of the war and thought things could be peaceful negotiated. Many of the representatives from the southern colonies were initially against the Declaration of Independence. The northern states is were fighting broke out and Boston was home to lots of revolutionary activity and the region of New England wasn’t known for large scale farming, it was known for maritime activities and in particular smuggling. During the English civil war the colonies weren’t deemed incredibly important so the were left to there own devices and after the war ended England tried to reinstate restrictions and that pissed a lot of people off not just the wealthy land owners. Under English rule colonist weren’t supposed to trade with countries that England didn’t like. The common economic theory on the colonies at the time was that there only purpose was to provided the mother country with ressources and a captive market to sell goods to. But after colonist got a taste of economic freedom many didn’t want to go back to how things were. So yes taxes were a big part of the revolutionary war many of the taxes were on goods nearly everyone in colonies consumed. Also the some of the loudest supporters of succeeding from England was John Adam’s and benjamins Franklin’s both of whom were not large scale land owners. John Adam’s being a lawyer and Benjamin Franklin made a lot of money running a printing press.

I watched it as well and i find him more like a dictator no wonder they switched back to monarchy after he died

@@jongcook8288 Dictators last for some time MONARCHY IS ETERNAL

@Richard Schiffman and look both of their countrys now .

@TheRenaissanceman65 That's some interesting history. Thanks.

@TheRenaissanceman65 thanks mate !

This isn’t what every place in the country is like it’s just Parliament

No reason to watch anymore after yesterday's vote.

Shame she had to read such a crap speech. I would have cheered if she'd ripped it up and extemporised her own.

Foolsrushinwhereangelsdaretotread I reckon her popularity will drop after like a puppet, reading Johnson’s lies.

Long live the Queen

Barbara 1 Could you imagine her reading out Jeremy Corbyn’s I think she would’ve choked on her own tongue

She look like 52 in age not a rinkle in Face strange 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@@aidanthompson5053 that's a very tame thing to do. Go out to the countryside ok England and all you will hear are the sounds of shotgun's going off for pheasant hunting. They make for good food after as well

Oh No , he merely added to it .

I’m an American even we know of the legendary Dennis Skinner. I hope someone carry’s on his tradition 😂

well said!!!

@@wuey4520 mhmm really ? I think I’ve heard others say Britishers as well

Careful any more Long Lives and Charles might never be King!

@@marloyorkrodriguez9975 💀💀💀

correct :) they dont repair it so those chips are from the same rod knocking the same spot for many many years.

But also she's rich off the wealth her ancestors stole so

Politicians need to be afraid these days

did you make out what he said ?

@@JN003 sadly not

pull the other one LOL

He said "No... I'm not going".

@@charlotteice5704 Thanks!

Heyden Morales Santiago im not going. His words precisely

As opposed to showing the whole speech? Or cutting it off somewhere else? The video is titled "Black Rod Heads to Commons to Summon MPs," and the video ended when that part was over.

respect for tradition i guess

They are grown ups?

Because they have respect for tradition and themselves. And because they have working, mature brains. Try it.

@@mscott3918 agreed

The queen can't enter the house of commons and the black rod is the official how goes to the house of commons as the representative of the queen and its a custom to slam the door at his/her face .. this signifies the rights of the legislature and its just a another way of saying that you don't belong to the house and so you can't enter.

@@vishalpoddar I know but why cant the door just be closed

I think its like that the coming of the black rod was announced by some guards of the house ( a guard even soughted that the black rod is coming when she was on her midway) and the gates are closed by the gates keeper of the house. Thus I think ,in modern days ,this has been made more into a ceremonial sort of thing. She that slams the door which,i guess , signifies that she is asking for the permission to enter the house , and with the commands of the speaker the , gatekeeper might be opening the gates. But the MPs have there own right and hence some MPs may not want to comply with the order of the Queen which the black rod conveys and hence there is a tradition of hackling. I am not an expert but I think this the most rational explanation of this..

@@signalhd9793 its a ritual.

@@vishalpoddar its symbolic of the Queen having no real authority. They open the door because THEY want to. Not because theyre commanded.

Goes back to this event. When Charles 1 stormed Parliament. Since then, the Monarch's representative gets the door slammed in his (or her) face. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wDsAn_u70tw.html

It's traditional to show the authority of the Commons over the monarchy.

Adam Not necessarily to show the Commons authority over the Queen, she is still in theory head of state and the ultimate authority (even if not in practice), moreso to show the separation of the Commons from the Queen as their own authority and not an extension of her will.

I’ll not be going

I heard "No, I'll not be going"

Goodbye

He did, this is an old video

There were two state openings in 2019. This one was before the election where Denis lost his seat. After the election there was another state opening as it was a new parliament.

Yes, there is a member of the cabinet who stays in Buckingham Palace to ensure continuity of government whilst the State Opening of Parliament takes place. From what I have been told, they are served with a small buffet whilst watching the event on TV.

I couldn't make out the joke this time unfortunately, did you hear what he said? I looked forward to that every time.

@@Omni-Man "no, i'll not be going"

Don't give up your day job.

You become king by your fore bares being so relentless their names are on the deeds.

Pull the other one

Actually, when Otto the Great became emperor, the people had to give formal consent. (That was the last time in the Holy Roman Empire, though. In 962 AD.

same 💖💖💖

Lmao.

"their* heads" Off with _your_ head. Or, "Off with you're head" as you would no doubt spell it.

@@Nilguiri hope you can sleep now mate 👌 Also in theatre plays and movies its off with their heads. Your welcome.

@Bilal Khalid 😂😂😂😂😂

@Bilal Khalid thanks just seen it 😂😂😂 classic 👌😂😂😂

Bilal Khalid 😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe because they think it’s stupid having public officials act out a play on the public’s dime

@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 If they're unwilling to grasp the emotional and aesthetic sides of government and politics, then that's their mistake.

MrGtasan123 Im not going. Thats his words

what did Skinner say? "I refuse to bow, I'm too old and have bad knees".

As of yesterday, goodbye
