  1. Perhaps the time will soon come to have a debate about the future of the monarchy. Charles and William spend much of their time wandering around telling anyone who cares to listen about how horrible the British are, and seem to have the perverse delusion that, in some strange manner, only British slavery was 'bad' slavery, the other versions being branches of social services. The positive manner in which the English/British abolished slavery at an early date, and the manner in which the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron systematically destroyed the slave trade, is, in their privileged eyes, seemingly not worth mentioning. Perhaps when he gets back, he will tour the Midlands, the North, and Wales, apologising about the brutal treatment of the peasantry who lived there during the industrial revolution? I doubt it. As someone whose antecedents came from Ancoats, Manchester, I can state with total certainty that, several generations back, my family were certainly not benefitting from their slave plantations in the West Indies. In short, I will never regard this poseur as my Monarch, however posh a frock his wife wears.
