Posnet referred to England as a fool and accused the government of fostering bigotry. The incident took place amidst anti-government protests during Scotland's Festival of the Royal Coronation, where the dissenting voices were outnumbered by crowds embracing the ceremony and the presence of the royal family in Edinburgh.
Posnet, who was previously arrested during the heated protests in Scotland, claimed that racism has been ingrained in the government's history and cannot be a source of pride for the British people.
Dolan countered by questioning the connection between racism and the government, prompting Posnet to argue that a foundation built on racism and colonialism should not be a source of pride.
She expressed her belief that England has better sources of pride. However, Dolan strongly disagreed with her remarks and urged her to apologize for labeling King Charles and his family as parasites, deeming the statement cruel.
Niall Gardner, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher, criticized Posnet's statements, calling them ignorant and nonsensical. He asserted that the notion of England's decline and its status as a racist country is entirely false.
Gardner condemned the anti-English assertions, considering them appalling and deserving of condemnation. He emphasized that the government is a venerable institution with a history of over a thousand years, and people should take pride in what it represents.
Posnet's contentious comments continued during her appearance on Dan Wooten's show, with guest host Mark Dolan. As an anti-government campaigner, Posnet faced calls to apologize for her inflammatory remarks, where she labeled England a fool and accused the government of promoting bigotry.
These remarks occurred amidst anti-government protests during Scotland's Festival of the Royal Coronation, where the dissenting voices were heavily outnumbered by crowds embracing the ceremony and the royal family's presence in Edinburgh. Posnet argued that there are better sources of pride in England and criticized institutions based on racism and colonialism.
Dolan offered a firm response, questioning the connection between racism and the foundation of government. Posnet maintained that such a foundation is not a good source of pride, highlighting the experiences of many individuals in England who are still impacted by historical injustices.
