Monarchy is beloved by this country

I FEEL I must reply to Mr Craig’s letter of February 17th, “Reason for the monarchy is no longer apparent”.

The distress shown by so many people filing past the late Queen lying in state, which stretched for miles in London’s streets, the outright joy expressed by the people with the coronation of King Charles and street parties on his coronation belie Mr Craig’s letter.

Observing the ongoing antics at Westminster, the highly intimidating marches on our streets by so-called supporters of Gaza, the very threat of violence from every direction everywhere throughout the

United Kingdom including mobs surrounding residences of anyone who dares to argue for law and order, should tell people that it’s not the constitutional monarchy that needs to be replaced but the ineffective parties currently pretending to run the country, whilst at the same time pandering to any militant grouping of people.

Can anyone imagine a president being elected from the rabble at Westminster?

I predict that very few, if any, of Mr Craig’s predictions will ever come about. Scotland, for example, has now been so reduced by the

SNP that the Scottish people would never vote to remove that country from the union because they would go bankrupt without the Barnett Formula subsidy; the same with Northern Ireland and most certainly Wales, currently run into the ground by the Labour Welsh majority government, so badly governed that Welsh NHS patients are being sent to England to be treated.
