Mercurius Aulicus

The Mercurius Aulicus is a Reactionary Queenslander, a Fervent Monarchist, an Anglophile, a Pessimist, an Anti-Egalitarian Elitist, a Traditional Conservative, a Male Chauvinist, a Modern-day Luddite, an Intolerant Prig, a Terrible Snob and, on occasion, a Pompous Oaf with the unfortunate habit of speaking about himself in the third person. His interests include among other things: Being Intolerant and Judgemental; Maintaining Standards; Having a Fine Sense of Discrimination; Shouting at Foreigners; Sneering at the Hoi polloi (οἱ πολλοί); Deferring to One’s Betters; Noblesse Oblige; Declaiming “O Tempora! O Mores!”; Bemoaning the Decline of Western Civilization; Keeping a Stiff Upper Lip; Defending the British Empire; Fearing God, Honouring the King; Fighting the Red Menace; Opposing Women’s Suffrage; and Applauding Privilege & Elitism & Inequality. He is presently rusticating in genteel poverty on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Hinterland, far from the decadent fleshpots of Brisbane and the Coastal Cities.
