I can't be the only Brit who's deeply ashamed that King Charles is making a state visit to the USA.

@ApostateEnglishman This is exactly what royalty are for! Although I have to say, despite not being a fan, I actually feel a bit sorry for King Spaniel in this case.

Trump threatened Canada, still part of his majesty’s commonwealth. We pay more per capita to the crown than Brits. So unless it’s to get Trump to back off, he can fuck off.
Our PM Carney is brother to Sean Carney the financial advisor to Prince William.
I’m very curious what gets discussed also considering Epstein connections getting investigated in UK & elsewhere.

Which is a good theory but given the omnishambles of his cabinet and his clearly decreased capacity... it doesn't work in practice as it's not his rectum that needs the smoke blown up it.

It is a more sensible idea to back off and just let America implode at this point.

@JoBlakely Excellent point, which I've duly boosted. Thank you.

@ApostateEnglishman You are absolutely not the only one.

I guess I'd be ashamed too if I in any way identified with the monarchy or the British state.

To my eyes, as an Englishman, both are representatives of the hierarchy of scumbags who #enclosed the commons that our ancestors lived off, driving them from the land of their birth.

Which leaves my feelings more an intensification of the desire to be rid of the lot of them than any kind of personal shame.

@ApostateEnglishman In 2066, William needs to dissolve the monarchy, abdicate all lands and titles to the state, be called William the liborator and bugger off to Normandy after a thousandish years of foreign rule.

Once upon a time it was thought that Charles would be a reformer and modernizer of the monarchy. No such luck. Although he may succeed in making it less popular than ever.

Royalty, like all the other super-wealthy, need to be taxed down to reality.
