      As someone living in one, fuck that.

      Someone being born out of one particular vagina shouldn’t determine his life as being able to dictate what I do!

        Exactly. In America, the supreme court is answerable to the president (Trump) who changes every four years on a whim of democracy which is fragile.

        In the UK, everyone is answerable to the King who changes every few decades- and we always know who the next will be. And they don’t get involved in politics either.

        The first step towards fascism would be to replace the King

            So an heir apparent - not the monarch wrote a few minor letters to the government. That’s nothing compared to other people being corrupt.
