“If Charles cared so much for the homeless and hungry we're sure he'd rush to open the hundreds of empty rooms of his palaces to house them and dip into his £millions to feed them. He won't, because he doesn't,”
Never ever say that what is happening post Brexit is a surprise. Millions of us marched, millions of us shouted what the outcome would be. Millions were right. Millions were lied to

Millions of people marched for the right to a referendum and/or signed a petition to revoke Brexit. Don’t tell me that nobody knew what a shitshow Brexit was as going to be. These were some of the biggest marches in history and the largest petition.

when reporting on popularity of royals at Sandringham perhaps you need to tell the truth and not what you want it to be. “Look how far the crowd stretches back” says reporter. It’s literally about 30 people. Even the person interviewed said they expected more.
If they weren’t royal (whatever that means)
You’d have absolutely no interest in these dull people.
And let’s be honest, despite what the papers tell us, most people have no interest anyway.

Look at the arrogance of this Tory MP. “End of story” he says. We’re supposed to forget it. Nothing to see here. This Tory MP doesn’t care about you, he cares only for himself and his employers.

Mogg loves to do this. He did it with his son at the Brexit demos. It’s his style. He just likes to be seen as the sensible one amongst the revolting. It’s all about him.

Whether you agree or not with this protester, he was yanked backwards and thrown to the floor by a member of the public. That is assault. The police witnessed it, but arrested the protester. They did nothing with the perpetrator of violence.
@EdinburghPolice
This is really powerful stuff. It’s what parliaments with monarchies as head of state do. They make you pledge allegiance to the monarch, or you can’t be in parliament. The UK is the same. Norman Baker’s book explains more. It needs changing.

Royal reporters spent years having every word lapped up as fact, they’re not used to dissent. When it comes they think it must be “coordinated”, but fail to understand that people have moved on, and seeing very privileged people seeking PR opportunities at food banks isn’t great.
The “queens sister, and her friend Lady privilege aristocrat” say the king and queen are ace.
What a pile of PR sycophantic guff.

Hi
@chrisshipitv
given that you’re happy to quote this, as a journalist will you be asking why Prince Charles was not investigated in this matter. I find it hard to believe that honours can be bought without the knowledge of the member of the royal family involved, don’t you?
@PrincesFound
Statement from Prince of Charles' office:
It is important to him "that the charities which bear his name operate to the highest standards... We are taking this opportunity to reinforce guidance to these charities, particularly in respect of their relationships with supporters.”
This is a beautifully educational thread that everyone should read. My heart goes out to the poor family of

But there needs to be an end to language such as “kill, orchestrated execution, and murder”. My heart also goes out to the incredible NHS staff involved
Not linking in the current news story, although my heart goes out to all involved, family and staff, for what be an extraordinarily hard set of circumstances to be navigating.
But it might be a good time to talk about brain stem death and how confusing it can be as a concept.

In the last 6 days the BBC have published no less than 14 articles on the royals. License fees funding PR for taxpayer payer funded elite. And you ain’t seen nothing yet.
If Remainers are so unhappy with Brexit then why don't they move to a EU country? Or do something novel like move on and accept the result of the referendum

can you include in the article the qualifications and experience that Kate has in early years childhood teaching that warrants this article please.

Qualified nurse with three years training at degree level, and four years experience earns less (pre tax) then royals spent on one trip in a car to Cinema. If that doesn’t make you furious, then it should.
