[Politics] State Opening of Parliament

It’s pretty shameful in a way to force one of the most prominent environmental campaigners of the last 50 years to put on a shiny hat and read out a load of anti-green nonsense designed by a dying government to give them a short term electoral boost at the expense of the long term health of the planet

If he had the confidence and "big balls" he would just refuse to do it.

"I'm not reading this shit out - find some other mug to do it"

His popularity would go through the roof.

But he doesn't. So he won't.

He would have to abdicate if he did that.

Probably Scunthorpe too (if he's heard of them)!

Some people might say he’s already in the middle of Scunthorpe.

Am pretty sure that would make him one of the coolest British kings ever (or at least in modern history).
