The English right-wing nutjobs are correct when they point out that the King of England doesn't even know what diversity is - or even what it means to do a decent day's work.
So however correct on point any of his messages may be, the messenger really isn't in any position to deliver the message.
The monarchy needs to go just as much as the far-right nutjobs.
How would it serve any of us, except the right wing nut jobs, for him not to spread this message though? I can't imagine why it's a good thing for him not to say this. It literally only helps the goals of the right wing nut jobs for him not to spread this message. It's a message we agree with, it's objectively true, it's objectively better for society, and it's something that needs to be reinforced and said over and over as much as possible. There's no reason to silence it except if you agree with the right with nut jobs. Literally none.
When the king of England, whose brother is a disgraced pedophile, whose entire family - including the pedo and his crooked daughters - enjoys immense undue wealth without lifting a finger and doesn't pay taxes, whose first wife died like a dog in a ditch because he had an affair with his current one, whose second child is probably a bastard, makes speeches to promote this or that moral value, it achieves the exact opposite.
The best thing King Charles can do if he wants to improve anything is keep his mouth shut. Or better yet, abdicate and abolish the monarchy.
You keep using that phrase, but there hasn’t been a “King of England” since 1702.
Andrew was not accused of Paedophilia and all alleged encounters were with women of legal age.
Only the King, as monarch, is exempt from taxation. He pays income tax voluntarily, and gives 80% of the income of the crown estate to the government.
Diana died in a car in a tunnel, because she chose to get in a car driven by a coked-up drunk driver and she chose not to wear a seatbelt.
Charles and Diana both had a string of affairs, starting off with Diana’s affair with one of her royal protection officers, before Charles resumed contact with Camilla.
Charles has the power to abdicate, but not to abolish monarchy.
As for the earlier comment about diversity, Charles’ coronation was the first to invite representatives of other faiths to take part.
There are plenty of things to bash the Royals for, no need to go making more stuff up.
Andrew is like Michael Jackson: he was never charged, but of-fucking-course he's a pedo. Only those who actively want to ignore the obvious can't see it.
And what about Eugenie and Beatrice? Next you'll tell me they're honest socialites making honest money, right?
Oh right. That's fantastic. Yeah Charles.
You know what? I don't get to choose what I give HMRC. Why does he get to choose his tax bracket? Also, he voluntarily pays taxes on things he never worked a minute of his life to deserve. So please! Don't try to spin a horrendous case of inequality into a positive nice-rich-guy story. Fuck Charles and his entire family with a broomstick: none of those fuckers knows what it is to pull a decent day's work.
How about he gave back all the wealth his family has stolen around the world during the time of the Empire? Hell, if he doesn't want to indemnify the countless peoples around the world the royal family directly took advantage of, how about he direct the British Museum to return all the stolen artifacts they're holding on to?
If I was Canadian first nation, African, Egyptian, Indian, Australian aborigine or New Zealand Maori, I wouldn't give a fuck about being invited to the inbred's coronation. But I would care about getting my cultural artifacts back - and also getting an apology from the crown, and some money for my people's struggles over the centuries, entirely due to the crown.
Britain is a constitutional monarchy. The King has no right telling the British Museum what coffee blend to sell in the cafe, let alone change a law and make it dispose its collection.
If you demand that people either only do the best thing or nothing, you will get a lot of people doing nothing.
Absolutely does not achieve the opposite. It just furthers the point. The only people it would serve for him not to say this is right-wing nut jobs. Only people. You can tell because they're angry he said it.
Down with kings and queens and emperors. But right now he is there, he does have that ability to get the message out, and millions of people agree with him about this issue.
They always say professional athletes should STFU about politics, right? But that's nonsense too. Send the good message. Haters will hate, but most of them were a lost cause anyway. It's everyone else that you're talking to, and they are listening, and they do care.
Still, though, it must be nice that your royalty are not the right nut jobs. I agree that they have to go, but as royalty goes, they’re pretty chill. You could do worse then king Charles.
That's like saying driving a Model 3 isn't so bad: you could be driving a Cybertruck. The premise is that you're stuck with a lemon.
I suggest that you could do much, much better than being stuck with any king.
Tell ya what, you take our Tangerine Shit-gibbon (who certainly fancies himself a king) and we'll take ol' Charlie-boy.
The British Empire ruled over very pretty diverse people alright. It’s still the same ruling families in power, that ran imperial colonialism.
Yeah but they didn't celebrate diversity, they subjugated and exploited it.
The ~~Battenberg-Saxe-Coburg~~ Mountbatten-Windsor family doesn't like to admit it, but most of its wealth is built on the exploitation of the Empire's colonies.
So when the head of that particular crime family makes a speech to promote diversity, you'll excuse me if I feel a wave of nausea.
That clan has managed to be on top for a very long time by playing the power game pretty well.
