You were doing so well till you started with the insults.

I'm not the one insulting other posters from the safety of mummy's basement. You should see someone about your anger issues, IMO.

 

   There wasn't any insults , stop playing the victim

We are not all snivelling, boot licking sheep. Whilst still a minority, more and more brits are questioning why we have this grotesque and utterly disfunctional family as our unelected and unaccountable head of state. 

Look at the heads, past and present,  of some of the Republics around the world. Have they done much better?

Of course not, but that's no reason to embrace entrenched, undemocratic entitlement so tightly.

Mummy's basement!!

My mother never owned a basement (not common in Australia) and has been dead nearly as long as Kerr. 

I've been a member of this forum for nearly 20 years, have lived in Phuket and now Isaan for 15 years. I own property and residences in both places.

I think my assessment of you being somewhat short of factual opinions is not misplaced. You haven't seen my anger, you're just a lightweight know-it-all. 

Still with the insults! Is that all you have?

IMO 90% of the people on the planet don't care whether the head of state is elected, hereditary or imposed as it makes no difference to most- we all get screwed regardless.

You can go and lecture the tens of thousands+ who will come out to welcome the King. 

The fact is that the Crown has acted on behalf of First Peoples and takes its role seriously. The role is still obviously needed since the Republicans have completely ignored the views and stated positions of the First People. Unlike the Australian occupiers, the King will receive a polite and hospitable reception from the  First People of Australia.

 

Looks like not everyone got your message. 

 

"King Charles faced shouts of "you are not my King" from an independent senator just after he finished an address at Australia's Parliament House on the second official day of his engagements in the country.

 

Thorpe, who is an independent senator from Victoria and an Aboriginal Australian woman, has long advocated for a treaty between Australia’s government and its first inhabitants."

A view and actions that have been condemned by an aboriginal elder who earlier welcomed the King and Queen. 

 

It's all there in the article. You cut your quote just short of that bit.
