Skipping a Generation
I think it's about time that the fictional faction pushing for William to elbow his father out of the way so we can all have a young, attractive, i
nexperienced, wonderkid King, checked their demographics.
The UK, like most western countries, is facing an ageing population. Speaking as one of the millions in my age group I can honestly say that I am diverted by the Royal verson of
"The Young and the Restless" however, when push comes to shove, I don't want a Kid on the throne for no other reason than his father is older and therefore redundant.
Isn't age discrimination against the law over there?
Besides, the
"Kid" hasn't shown what he's made of yet! And we can be absolutely sure that love him or hate him,
"King" Charles will be making his own decisions based on his own experience and life lessons. Noone is going to manipulate him with any ease.
In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that our next King will be his own man and, breaking with tradition, continue to speak out for sustainability, spaces for living instead of concrete jungles, local farming versus Monsanto et al. etc, ad nauseum.
Wasn't it only a couple of weeks ago that Charles topped a poll of those that care for the countryside? How soon these yellow journo's forget. Oh wait, you have to actually know something to be able to "forget" it and since these guys are incapable of accurately researching a story let alone doing any reasearch whatsoever, my guess is we will just have to wait for the next thrilling installment of "Jealous Throbs the Heart at Court". I think the chapter heading is "Hamlet/William: Hopelessly misunderstood or just plain brainless!"
