If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.
If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.
If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."
Why would anyone want that at all?

The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

Farage appointed a

How long are we going to hear about βlegitimate debates and concerns about immigration?β Itβs time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

Walkinshaw: Bondi is going to have to answer questions about her failure to follow the law with respect to the Epstein files. Missed the deadline, continues to hide 2.5 million files, redactions that are not consistent with the law. What's she covering up and who is she covering up for?

Damn right. There's still time to transform a wasted govt into a transformational one. It's not as though nobody knows what needs doing, or we're lacking ideas about how.

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us?

Funny how Robert Jenrick, Reformβs latest signing, says βBritain is in declineβ ,considering he helped run it as a Tory minister under May, Johnson,Truss &Sunak.
At this point, Reform looks less like a fresh start and more like a reunion tour for the people who caused the decline in the first place.

Farage, who had previously said mass deportations were a "political impossibility", said his party had now come up with "a credible plan, so that we can deport hundreds of thousands of people over the five years of a Reform government".
During the news conference, Farage asked Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf whether it was realistic to deport 500,000-600,000 people within the lifetime of the first Parliament under a Reform UK government, to which he replied "totally, yeah".
A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.

The tide really seems to be changing on Brexit. The government is finally admitting the immense damage it has done to us. But is still only taking baby steps to deal with it.
