Really The Guardian? Another 'Harry and Meghan' story?
Sounds a bit like when you went all in on Jason Arday with the others...

"These anomalies exist only because government remains entangled with the Church of England. In a modern democracy, the state should have no role in appointing bishops. The long-term answer is a clear separation of Church and state."

Very lucrative this waving and ribbon cutting lark if one's a beneficiary of the magic vagina method of choosing a country's head of state.

Brian to get his brains fried...
I hope they ask for reparations. The so-called 'royal' family was up to its neck in the #slavery business.

"Yesterday, during the royal garden party at Holyroodhouse [sic], activists unfurled a banner on a nearby hill reading "Cut the Half Billion Royal Budget" in view of the royals and other guests."
No election = no legitimacy.

There is no such thing as a 'fair' society when the head of state is not elected, but the eldest child born into one single family.

I would never swear allegiance to Charles Mountbatten-Windsor and his parasitic family.

UK - Under-22s to be excluded from #incapacity benefits
by Mitchell Labiak, March 18, 2025
Excerpt:
'Trapped out of work'
"The reforms come as part of a wider push by Labour to cut spending by reducing the number of people on incapacity benefits, which is forecast to reach a record high by the end of the decade.
"Experts say the increase is due to a combination of worse #MentalHealth since the #pandemic and a higher retirement age meaning some are instead claiming incapacity benefits.
"#Starmer said he is 'not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people – especially young people – who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system'.
"However, #DisabilityRightsUK said that barring under-22s from claiming the health element of universal credit alongside the proposal to increase assessments 'mark dangerous cuts for all #disabled people'.
"The charity added that the package of reforms was 'not about supporting disabled people into work, but making brutal and reckless cuts'."

#UK government planning nuclear site in #Scotland - Jack
"The #SNP leader said the Scottish government would not support new nuclear power stations in the country, and was investing in #renewable energy projects."
"Scotland's last nuclear power plant - at #Torness in #EastLothian - is scheduled to be shut down by 2028."
May 16, 2024
"The UK government is planning to build a new #nuclear reactor in #Scotland despite opposition from Holyrood, according to Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.
"He told a House of Lords committee he had asked the UK energy minister to plan for such a site as part of a UK-wide strategy.
"The Conservative minister also called for the Lords to be allowed to scrutinise Scottish laws.
"First Minister John Swinney accused Mr Jack of being a 'menacing behaviour' and said his government would have 'nothing to do with #NuclearPower.'"

If #JoeBiden announced that he was stepping down as #POTUS and named his son #HunterBiden as his successor and the whole thing was going to happen automatically in two weeks time whether we liked it or not… I’m guessing that quite a few people would object, right? So why is it okay that #monarchy in otherwise progressive countries like #Denmark still works this way? #AbolishTheMonarchy #IkkeMinKonge #RepublikNu https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67854395

@SharonCrockett @2hip2bL7 @StillIRise1963 Behind every great fortune are great crimes. Problem is we don’t always have those crimes spelled out for us in history books & Shakespearean plays. When it comes to British Royal #wealth we can see exactly where it came from. A millenium of wars, theft, #slavery, colonialism & accumulation.
