In a monarchy you can criticize the Prime Minister or any other minister in government, but it's treason to speak out against the King.

What?

The king can go fuck himself.

Yes it's also serves as a litmus test to determine whether or not someone has any real problems in their life.

If you're upset at the PM about policies, there might be a real issue. If you're upset at the King because of symbolism, you don't have any real problems.

Disliking paedos eating at Pizza Express doesn't mean that I don't have legitimate problems with leeches on society.

As for the quote, you are quite wrong. We criticise the king all the time, and refer to his brother as a nonce.

You don't mean king, you mean despots can't handle criticism.

Fuck the king.
