The Ghost Of Baron Wreath | 3

EDITORIAL Coronation Street Subjective lovers of freedom, humanity and sanity it is with some incredulity that we stand slack-jawed at world events occurring since our last issue. The last few months, despite our delusion that things could only get better, have not only gotten worse but plummeted into an abyss of despair. But here, to placate the masses, is the coronation, costing millions and garnished with a public bank holiday!

Welcome to this special edition for the coronation of King Charles The Third or as they might say in Eire, Charles Der Turd. The theme for this issue, following global meltdown, artificial intelligence, war, energy crises, gender fluidity and continued political bankruptcy is Rue de Coronation or Coronation Street but as ever we present various expressions including musings on human evolution or despair at the blind worship of the aristocracy and those in power. Not my king is heard from the sidelines. He’s not relevant anymore, he’s not diverse and he’s got millions! But with new protest laws rushed through parliament in April 2023 a zero tolerance to protests confirms a police state. Attending the London circus on 6 May 2023 will be an alleged 30,000 police including armed officers poised like malevolent gargoyles on the adjacent rooftops. Maybe pigs can fly after all! And just to make sure mass facial recognition will be deployed to scan the identities of masses before burning their asses.

There continues a naive belief that we, the people, are powerless to affect any real change to our monarchistic regime. Indeed, unlike the old days, our observation, disenfranchisement and humiliation by the state and those in power seems hard to challenge and remove. However, around the world there are, and have always been, examples of those not only willing to question but to confront those threatening their human, political, democratic, social and economic rights. Consider the vexed French who, outraged by the recent delaying of their (rather generous) state pension arrangements, took to the barricades. European monarchies also point to the difference or perhaps indifference between Blighty and the Continent in generally preferring a slimmed down monarchy and younger politicians across the state and constitution. But don’t expect a Harrow March just yet. If we want change we will need to fight for it and it doesn’t seem that we on this Fair Isle have the wits, strength or stomach for a fight to equalise the discrepancies inherent in an archaic and corrupt ruling class. So one supposes we will just have to suck it up, again.

It is the right and habitual bent of uKUNST to lampoon or ridicule those in positions of privilege and power. This is done to challenge the apathy, disengagement and disinterest exhibited by the common folk in their lot. However what we seek is the realisation of not only what is being done to ourselves but also the twisted and criminal activities carried out by those in power in our names. Surely the people give a shit about their historic collective legacy. Or are we just another generation perverted by position, power and money at the expense of our consciousness? In presenting our works we employ art as a weapon of alternative engagement with the future of humanity and a balm for those of independent persuasion. As ever, please yourselves.

The political shenanigans and genocides continue to grow and spread across the globe. Is it conceivable that there are more countries at war than at peace? It does seem so often. And here, in the UK, there is another war in progress. A war against the people and their few remaining rights executed by the very people enriching themselves from the public purse and their nefarious position as the privileged. This means that certain individuals and institutions cannot be challenged and probably cannot have legal action taken against them. Further, the regulatory system in the UK is so generous and sympathetic to those it regulates that they should just book a room together. Oh, they probably do.

As we enter the reign of Charlemagne perhaps it really is time to dismantle and re-imagine the world that we all virtually live in. Let’s create a harmonious world with education, opportunity, health and wealth for everyone and the mandatory defenestration of those gatekeepers blocking reform, lobbying for the CBI or being caught with their elitist (no offence to the couchon) snouts and trotters in the public trough. As we recover from the national and media hysteria and bunting street parties it occurs it really is time for the abolition of the royal familia.

Welcome to this deliberately unpatriotic and bemused special edition. uKUNST Special thanks to all the contributors and our supporters for their continued interest in our art movement.

Enjoy Der Herausgeber May MMXXIII

CORONATION The coronation of a British monarch is a ceremony steeped in arcane tradition, and here at uKUNST we thought it might be helpful to detail and explain some of the more obscure elements.

The monarch is crowned sitting on The Stone of Destiny. This is a block of sandstone blessed by the arch wizard Sauron. This stone was stolen by the Picts from the land of Mordor before the Roman conquest. All British kings and Queens since Arthur have been crowned whilst sitting on this stone. It is traditionally warmed over a fire of Mistletoe branches, to ease any discomfort from royal piles.

At the head of the procession into Westminster Abbey, the Archbishop of Canterbury will hold a sacred fragment of the True Cross, a gift from the Pope. There were two fragments, but one was returned when it was noticed it was made of chipboard.

Princess Anne will hold the Gold Stick in Waiting position. At various points during the ceremony the Princess will wave the jewel encrusted, golden stick in front of Charles, to remind him of his wealth – particularly if he can see a preponderance of poor people in front of him.

An even more prestigious position is the holder of the Pointed Golden Stick position. This is used to poke any undesirable relatives and keep them at bay during the ceremony.

The Anointing of the King. This fabulous oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive trees Noah rescued from the deluge and sailed to the land of Shinar. The olives are crushed under the bare feet of monks from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and then scented with essence of rhubarb, kumquat, mackerel and cabbage. This oil is flown in vacuum-sealed casks to Luton airport, where the Grand Paraclete of Dunstable blesses them. This is the most holy and secretive part of the ceremony, performed in private. The prospective monarch sits in a jacuzzi full of this sacred oil, while the oil is poured over his head from the Holy Silver Ladle of Antioch, with any left over used to fry chips, which are distributed to the poor of the parish.

Groom of the King’s Stool. Not the position that some of you filthy minded perverts might think, (that is actually the Arse Attendant Pursuivant) but this is a rare honour granted to a poor peasant family to have one of their children kneel in front of the king, so he can put his feet up on them.

King, when the hazards of life direct from your fallen church and government flourish, what happens within a substitute of reality placed in the faces of the public?

WHAT YOU SAYING KING?

Does the reality you accept, create an illusion to capture the attention into believing something that is not?

Do the laws you sustain, serve to isolate the individual from their equality and human dignity?

Do the administrative controls over the population change people from what they are, into something people would never have chosen for themselves?

After help from your fallen government, what happens when people are left with no way to protect the self as a person?

Do you feel an increase within your non-existent power, when the rights of people have been stripped away and replaced, by a shadow and a copy of freedom of thought and expression?

When multiple controls are used to keep the self a prisoner inside the self, will stress, depression, and anxiety become the norm?

Do you believe you share an unrealistic optimism, or real pessimism about the skills of your pseudo-religious politicians?

With you seated on the throne, are you far more likely to perform unsafe acts of emotional and psychological violence?

King, do you know you have a spiritual responsibility to take care of your own health, and the safety of everyone on the planet?

Where is your moral responsibility to help create a positive and safe environment?

Whom do you report to for the promotion of highly damaging toxic information through the media?

Do you implement equality, inclusion, and diversity from the throne onto the Great British Public of many Immigrants?

King, how much do you believe people can take, before they take no more?

My face isn’t naturally blue.

I’m holding my breath as I wait for your answer.

YCNYD Your Country Needs Your Data

Record you race.

Record your face.

Signature, And preference.

Step forward now.

And take the vow.

To accept all, With no choices.

Where data goes.

Well no one knows.

Or asks just, Out of deference.

And when it’s done.

Then every one.

Is recognised, By voices.

Chorus Don’t ask Mater, Don’t ask Pater.

Why your country.

Needs your data.

Repeat Chorus

They often sigh.

As they reply.

You’re the lowest Common denominator.
