Duh! Tribesman is obviously a royalist and a loyalist.

I actually suspect Charles - and I find this shocking and hard to admit - I suspect Charles of having a sense of humour.
Those letters to Camilla! 'I wish I were your Tampax'. Genius.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Although not a Brit... I could tell he was basically a good guy when I meet and shake his hand on his tour of duty to Indonesia... Everybody could made mistakes, just try to give him a second chance to approve himself...

Like Baldrick, I should go to Jamaica and become a limbo dancer - everything goes over my head.
Bah. It's not just the man, it's the very institution itself.
Monarchy makes a mockery of our democratic system and values. We teach that everyone is born equal in standing. We elect our leaders and our representatives. Our society is based on the notion that the hard-working and smart people end up at the top, and noone will get far without hard work.
A king is born into his position. He has no need for any qualification whatsoever, from the moment he is born, he is chosen to be king. It really is shameful for our society to behave in this way.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Any kind of government is originally intended for the good on its own people... even those "undemocratic monarch" that you've seen is actually someone who his ancestors were "elected" to made his lineage leaders for (hopefully) countless generations. At least, they should have some sense of duty, and your "real decision - maker" is the Prime Minister, who was elected, right? so denying monarchy rights of their title and institution, is basically the same thing when you rob a rich, but innocent man, all his riches, and then let him die nude in cold slums... If they still stand, it was because God still wants them to a good efffects... And to say they are useless, you just prove of your "disloyalty"...

To be honest, I think democracy itself has a pretty good track record of making a mockery of its own institutions.
And democracy can teach and preach whatever they want but the fact is not everyone is born equal - although I suppose the difference these days is genetic and economic rather than aristocratic.
In fairness if I could pick a head of government, I'd take Charles over Brown or Zapatero or Berlusconi, or even Merkel. He's highly educated, patriotic, has some kind of values, and he won't be grubbing money off the public coffers because he's only in power for 4-8 years.
