Yea, I don't wish death upon the guy but come on, get a job now

As an American, if I got cancer like this dude has, having a job there is a very high chance I'd be destitute IF I lived. World class medical treatment off the backs of his subjects.. yeahno my dude, worlds smallest violen playing.jpeg

He can wipe his cancer tears up with whatever the largest denomination of pounds you guys use is xD

And when a president gets COVID he gets drugged up and gets the best treatment on the taxpayers dime. While the people are left with life shattering medical debt.

While these subjects can get medical treatment, for just a fraction, and no debts... Like the king...

So what is your point?

We have been playing the whole sad orchestra for you guys, seeing you push out this attitude like it is a win over something.

The president has an actual job tho??? Like wat lmao 🤣 and if you think the king is getting the same medical treatment as Mr jo British bong water, I have some EU membership to sell you.

Our royalty are really just diplomats with better PR and a lot less privacy. Poor guy just lost his mum, now he's got cancer - I hope he recovers.

He will receive better healthcare than 99% of the population after living a life drenched in privilege.

My sympathies lie elsewhere

I mean, I also feel sympathy for you.

There is a lot of hate there, and someone/something must have really hurt you to make you feel that someone deserves cancer because they've had money in their life.

I hope whatever you're going through gets better, that whatever has happened in the past becomes more distant, and that today is a lucky day for you.
