    The papers and bbc also have an agenda. Expressing monarchy is different to disrespect for the family and the corporation. This is possibly the only opportunity for another two or three decades we can influence change. If the prime minister had died we’d respect their death and discuss what happens next.

    Is it really too much to ask that wealth is created for the benefit everyone not individuals and corporations - especially that made out of the environment/land we live and is accessible to its people ?

    My point is it’s too soon, there may be a time when this nation discusses a change in its constitution, but not three days after its longest serving most popular monarch passes away.

    Utopia? Show me anywhere that this exists, the simple fact is that it’s in everyone’s natural manor to want to better themselves and do better for those close to them. In doing so you automatically complete with others, there can never be equality, much as that might be the theoretical goal.

    The trigger for me being honest was the announcement from King Charles. Maybe that happened too quickly - even for him. I feel sorry for him. He looks overwhelmed.

    I don’t expect total inequality but a bit more effort / some effort wouldn’t be a big ask. The cabinet - Eton. The royals -Eton. They all piss in the same heated swimming pool and are part of the 1% and while we accept this in our politics and constitution we make negative progress. It’s healthy to flag it up.

    Unfortunately it's never going to happen, if that occured here the super rich and rich would move abroad where it doesn't happen.

    Your asking for a unicorn

    Just vote for policies and parties that look after people. They exist. Maybe needs a change of voting system.

    And in this delightful country where big business and rich people give it all to those less fortunate, what happens when they take their business to a country that doesn't do that?

    That’s what you do when they take their business to another country. Can probably sell goods to the ones who left cos ‘Britain’s went downhill’ when migrants replaced ginger dole scroungers.
