    He ought to have sparked a constitutional crisis and refused to say it. Then he should have devolved the government.

        Presumably it’d mean either the end of the monarchy or the end of the government as we know it, so it’s a win-win for us lol

          I mean he’s 70-odd and has basically been powerless his whole life, if the options are to rock the boat or kick the can down the road and live out his last decade or two doing bugger-all in unimaginable opulence, I can see why he’d pick the latter.

          Like it’s not necessarily the morally right option, but I get it.

            They may not have direct power, but with their wealth and land ownership they’re definitely pulling strings behind the scenes.

              Liz used to have a weekly meeting with the PM every Thursday, I suspect Chaz does too. I’m guessing they don’t just talk about the weather and the cricket

          Yes, I can understand that, but he’s been a lead voice on the environment a lot longer than most. I guess he’s swapped his beliefs & scruples for the trappings of monarchy, and that diminishes him rather than elivates him in my eyes.

            You expected him to be making political statements as the monarch?

            The only reason the monarchy still exists is because the head of it remains apolitical.

              I guess I had some inchoate expectation that he’d be more influential. Sunak’s just turned him into a hypocrite.

        He said, he likes sucking the red Sea out of the giant vag. Swallowing isn’t a problem.
