If the 7 in front of “randy” Andy met their end does anyone think the British public would be seriously accept Andy as their monarch?? Use the time to move the UK to modern constitutional democracy

What an utter waste of performative parliamentary time, the monarchy is a ridiculous outmoded concept, surely this whole episode shows how shoddy and corrupt the whole model is.

That'll be it
