I did not, as it happens,

I did not, as it happens, vote for the present government. That is not an issue for me. Their election was democratically mandated in the way it has always been in Britain. But I most oracle training certainly did NOT vote for the monarchy. None of us did. The monarchy still has its place, and the Queen has been the perfect example of its place. It is not Prince Charles’s place to try to overturn the elected government’s position on war or, to be frank, on any other issue, lobby as he might.Peaceniks may cheer at Charles’s position. They pmi certification would not cheer so loudly if it had been the opposite position and he was a monarch with many decades to reign and this kind of political interference bicsi rcdd as a legacy.I find Charles’s ‘defender’ re-writing utterly objectionable, even treacherous. I also find his interference over a political decision, even failing as it ultimately did, equally offensive.So, Your Highness, please RH302 go practise your form of ‘defence’ elsewhere and do take your little tools for the wreckage of the British constitution with you, kind Sir. I am suddenly cooling substantially in my support for the monarchy.
