Who Are The Laughing Cavaliers?
The Laughing Cavaliers are a group of like minded individuals, ordinary men and women, who are heartily sick of the direction that Britain is taking and who seek to bring together other men and women from all walks of life who share their views, to turn the spotlight on those things which make life miserable for all of us and to change them.
They claim no distinction. They are not particularly clever. They are certainly not rich but they are giving their own money to create this Website as a public service-to create a Forum where ideas can be exchanged and developed and where a progressively more overweening state can be held accountable and in check.
By bringing together other people who share the same views, providing them with not just a forum but also the ability to organise their own free polls and petitions, The Laughing Cavaliers hope to stimulate discussion and action that will stem the tide of state sponsored idiocy that threatens to overwhelm Britain.
They love their country, its traditions, its ingenuity, its kindness and its tolerance and they make absolutely no apology for so doing. (This must be the only country in the world whose political and cultural elite, along with some of the Commentariat, seems to despise such a stance). They want to protect what is good from those Roundheads, who would seek to destroy all these things.
They prefer to retain their anonymity, as can all contributors to the Forums. The vindictive and vengeful nature of some of those bodies who may find themselves criticised by our contributors is well known. A certain amount of anonymity is therefore necessary, they feel. How sad that they have to say this in Britain but it is now so and is indicative of the power that some state funded institutions have taken to themselves. This is one of the very Stasi like attitudes that they seek to question.
They are of no importance themselves anyway. It is you, the contributors and the sponsors of polls and petitions, who are the drivers behind this movement.
They will not normally contribute to forums. They will however make various entries in the “Comments” section where contributions from Members on matters of the moment will also be considered for inclusion.
They do pay particular respect to those ladies and gentlemen of the press who are doing such a marvellous job, in many cases, in exposing wrongdoing, idiocy and arrogance by those who would be our masters and they would encourage these journalists to watch this site regularly for fresh incidences of bureaucracy gone mad as reported by contributors.
