  1. Of course he couldn’t be prosecuted. Everyone knows these cunts are above the law, that’s why they need to go.

    I don’t like it but I can, if I squint very hard, see some merit in not prosecuting the head of state.

    The police would be in and out of balmoral and Sandringham every day on frivolous offence charges.

    Look at the response to the hate crime bill, thousands of complaints lodged none with any real merit

    The King is above the law, so I don’t see why he felt the need to ask for those assurances.

    If the monarch can’t be arrested, then what would happen if the heir to the throne killed the sitting monarch, since they become monarch the instant the previous monarch died?

    Why in 2024 do we still have people who the law doesn’t apply to because their blood is magic?

     >B-b-but the royal family are figureheads with no real power who have to follow the law just like the rest of us! Muh tourism! 

    Monarchy is an anachronism that perpetuates inequality and should be abolished.

    This is outrageous:

    “The monarch has been given personal immunity from swathes of British law, ranging from animal welfare to workers’ rights.

    More than 30 laws stipulate, for example, that police are barred from entering the privately owned Balmoral and Sandringham estates without the king’s permission to investigate possible crimes, including wildlife offences and environmental pollution.”

    It’s so when the Epstein connection comes out he can point to his blessed blood and we all go back to work
