Not at all "like the rest of us".

 Prince Charles at 65: A portfolio of jobs and no plans to retire, so he's just like the rest of us




The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall


 
The headline reads: " .....so he's just like the rest of us".
Yes of course he is. He and "Parker Bowles" regularly visit the Kensington Foodbank to get their weekly rations and they frequently switch energy suppliers in the naive belief that they might get a better deal from another cartel member.
Every 4 weeks, when his pension is paid into which ever bank account he has nominated for that purpose, he takes his "Casio" calculator and works out to the nearest penny, whether he and the Mrs. can afford to have that pound of meat for a liver and bacon treat they have been thinking about, or whether that spare money should be used to buy another British Gas savings stamp for the fuel bill, so they can have the bedroom heater on for an extra hour.
Trying to sell us the fairy tale that "he is just like the rest of us", the media generally insult the intelligence of millions of people in this country.
Charles Philip Arthur George and the rest of the Windsor family, occupy a distinctly unreal world where people (predominately tourists, regardless of what the press may wish you to believe), frantically wave little bits of coloured paper at them, in the hope that they may see a wave of the hand or even in some cases receive a limp hand shake which they will treasure for their remaining days on earth.
He (and they) are not "just like the rest of us at all" and the media should stop trying to sell us the myth that they are..

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Workers face ban on striking .

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.
