Our Royals!!!

 Our Royals!!!

I am your original republican -- don't like the idea of monarchs anywhere. So, forgive me, if I take a clear look at our monarchy in the light of all the recent shenanigans. I blame our press -- when they are not actively covering up for the Tories' most recent blatant act of corruption or cronyism, they are promoting one or the other member of our royal family.

   Do I need to know the details of the births in the family, the illnesses, the clothes, the foreign trips? I think: go forth and do whatever you like and leave us alone.

   As with the Tories the Press seem to have an agenda handed out to them:The last few months were spent seeking cracks in the person of Meghan. Harry marrying a non-white, especially a non-white with opinions, for Heavens Sake!  Harry was my favourite of the Royal brats, but he was hounded out efficiently. 

   Not a great lot to choose from, them royals. I have a sneaking regard for the queen, her devotion to duty and her unflappable character when the whole royal edifice is crumbling around her. However, her determination to perpetuate royalty in this country is off-putting.

   I also feel a little sorry for her -- Can't she see what will be left when she goes? Charles? As they say in the U S A, God Bless England. I am satisfied he will support the green revolution and hopefully surrender his motor car (s) and go about in a carriage and foursome. But command respect from the average person in the U K after his watery opinions, his past amatory performances? Not a hope. 'One' might have to do a lot of mea culpa ing.

   Then there is William, who always reminds me of buttermilk -- diluted, not milk and not quite yoghurt. Nothing to it, it is probably harmless. And his entourage? The less said the better. The wife is almost pretty, the children are divine... 

   Andrew is something I am trying hard to forget. Let's not go there. Edward stays out of the limelight; so does Anne, more or less. Those two know how to survive without censure. I am on their side.

   Harry had spark, humour, a will to serve, and compassion, but he is now self-exiled, more or less. He got out just in time. I hope he knows how to keep out of sight of the rabid press. The Oprah interview was probably a bad decision.

Now, if David Lammy wanted to be King for a week or two, I wouldn't mind, so long as we voted him in. But any country that votes Boris in must get its head examined. It is along way to Lammy.

   How does one stop a monarchy going on for generations of stodge? Retire them with pensions like India did to its myriad rulers. Now, there's a thought. Then they could even stand for elections and get defeated.
