Royals vital to our stability

What a fantastic spectacle we had over the Coronation weekend. I have long been a Royalist, believing that we are fortunate to live in a stable country with its many privileges and freedom with a hereditary monarch as Head of State, governing constitutionally with an elected Parliament.

We have been exceptionally fortunate in our late monarch Queen Elizabeth ll, of blessed memory. I firmly believe King Charles lll will follow her example and prove to be a fine King.

For those who have republican views, they only need to look at the terrible actions around the world, which in this day and age are horrendous, particularly as they don’t seem to have learned lessons from history.

Turning to those in the Not My King camp, those in the BBC (Biased Broadcasting Corporation) once again picked on the police for arresting some of the offenders.

I have researched the number of arrests carried out by the force in the last year, this information being in the public domain.

They have arrested 30 of their own officers, a small percentage of the force, compared with other public servants: 31 youth workers, 256 nurses and hospital staff, 12 doctors, 472 carers, 178 teachers and school employees and 30 social workers.

Furthermore, in their support, while many are on strike over pay, the police cannot do so, despite their poor starting salary of £24,000.

We live in a stable nation because of our monarchy, our democratic process and the protection of our exemplary police force.

Those who don’t feel comfortable are not forced to live here.
