Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.
It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century
I'll settle for a few billionaires, I guess...
The billionaires are japanese. And the yen billion isn't much more than a slightly well off commoner.
The only billionaires in the UK are Japanese? Sure about that?
No, in Japan.
I think you missed the joke.....despite the fact that I explained the joke as part of the core concept ofthe joke.
Apparently everyone missed your joke.
Right???
I’d much rather this happen to billionaires. They have actual power.
Why not both?
There's actually a very good stage play about this exact subject.
The queen dissolved parliament a few years ago, and while she is dead now I don't think her death was related
Parliament asked her to do it though. That's a bit different. If a monarch tried to force the issue it would go very badly. It's one of those technical power versus real power things.
A lot of troopies in the Commonwealth swore an oath on enlisting that then transfered to Charles. Charles has the biggest gang ever but Musk just wants to troll aus and canada more.
Keep up.
Okay but how serious do they take the exact wording? In the US they swear to the Constitution and take that very seriously. It's why Trump will need to destroy the military if he wants to eventually use it as his personal force. Are the British soldiers willing to arrest or kill their elected leaders on the word of a monarch?
