Rethink over UK monarchy

Madam, – There is a very small demographic group of people in this country who have everything in their favour.

These few have the best houses, the best access to knowledge via books and state of the art computer access.

They are surrounded by highly educated people working on their development from birth.

They go to the “best” schools and universities and have free access to tutors and experts in any subject.

They marry people from families at the very echelons of all the professions.

They are replete with all the advantages of both nature and nurture.

There is one glaring anomaly however, which makes one doubt the efficacy of such benefits. Most seem to believe in an anachronistic unjustifiable, antidemocratic, divisive institution called a monarchy.

None of this elite demographic has ever called for the abolition of it nor a return to a republic.

Their educational and intellectual loftiness should have induced at least some of them to be Republicans.

This is a paradox. The truth is that none of this group has ever admitted to seeing the light: that being the absurdity of royalty. Why?

Because they are those royals.

One got into a little local difficulty and abdicated, but what about the others?

William and Charles must see the truth that you are not superior nor inferior to your fellow humans but have been assumed so by this absurd system from the moment of birth.

Abdicate and stop the absurdity and gain intellectual respect and get a real life.

Robert Ferguson. Viewforth,
