    I realise that I could do that if I so chose but I'm not that bothered to, really; I've said what I have to say in response to one particular comment and I don't think that it needs any elaboration, frankly!

            ahinton is far too much of a gentleman to pick me up on my spelling

            P.S. It was the right word though, wasn't it?

                I think I'll defer commenting on that until we've had a minimum of 2 years of King Charles, or whatever he chooses to call himself, then we won't be so limited by the cult of personality

                We'll just have to wait and see
                King Charles Espanol?

                  But when 'real power' is referred to here, it's to do with the governing of the country, legislating. The 'let's demolish Buckingham Palace and build affordable housing on the site' isn't a valid argument for abolishing the monarchy: it's an argument for wholesale appropriation of property.

                  There are perfectly valid arguments: but Chelsea Barracks - or 'they've got too much money' - aren't them.

                  Yes, I agree in principle with your point about the 'anti-democratic EU'. Do they equate national sovereignty with the monarchy (I don't know)?
                  It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                      The way Spain's assets and banking system is going at the moment, I wouldn't be at all surprised, S_A

                        I've had an idea. Let's start a movement that seeks to skip old big ears and make William the next King, or better still, Harry!

                        What do you think?

                          I was thrilled by the first part, Beefy!

                            But the latter would do wonders for the night club and armaments industries.
