The British Monarchy

I would, but the alternative is vastly worse. President Truss, Blair, Brown, Jenrick. May, Cleverly, Mandelson, Mind, President Pannick might fit the bill (no pun intended!)

This is a good point. Who would decide the method of appointing a head of state?

Who would you trust to create a method that provided a distinction from the prime minister?! I'm not sure I'd trust most current politicians/media not to try subverting the process.

An excess of missionary zeal perhaps but given the absurdities I omitted hardly dishonest.

The old time class warriors on here and elsewhere really need to recognise the imminent right wing threat to democracies on both sides of the Atlantic. I've mentioned before the late Roger Scruton's powerful analysis of growing globalization as an enemy of the open society. Our monarchy, albeit anachronistic with all its unfashionable trappings, is nevertheless a crucially important in defending our democratic constitution through the power it denies to those who would harness those forces in this country.

Sometimes I worry. The absurdities was the whole point. It’s called a joke and you turned it into a boring political rant. Have you no sense of irony?

(Sorry, sense of humour failure on my part. Anyway I was editing in a different Scruton vid when you replied so here it is.)

Scruton is a know nowt ****.

I’ll read up on him, is it true what Kobayashi said about him though?

Utter drivel. His ideas are interesting but dangerous in the hands of some and his early analysis of the rise of the right wing on the back of uncontrolled migration in Europe has proved disastrously accurate. I never met Scruton but a friend of mine had his PhD Viva conducted by him and became a friend, by every account a charming and very clever man.

Can always can rely on you turning up when things get a bit nasty to add your extra little pot of poison. Ignorance and malice combined, a role model for Mr K.

It’s true though. You look at Scruton’s life and musings and they align with yours. You even quote him to promote your feelings.

He wrote anti gay and anti female stuff. It’s categorical really.
