On King Charles III

On King Charles III

Hope this does not come across as insensitive – but all this Royal stuff [and god there is a lot!] makes me wonder what all the pomp and profligate waste of resources looks like from someone’s perspective who is struggling with or cannot afford their energy bills this coming winter?

Great article that illustrates the waste and out of touch behaviour that frankly holds this country back, keeping it rooted in the distant past: – https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/12/new-king-comes-to-westminster

Oh and whilst we are at it – inheritance tax anyone?

‘One law for King Charles the billionaire, another for you. Bailiffs for the poorest in society, privileged exemption for the very richest. A society with all the latest technology and sophistication, yet still in the shadow of medieval feudalism…’
