“The British royal tour of the Caribbean was a big mistake...” | Rudolph Brown

The Caribbean tour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be remembered for the small scale protests which have met them and the move by some of the island nations towards being republics. Whoever thought that this tour was a good idea was sadly mistaken. Surely, the Foreign Office had informed Buckingham Palace that there was growing support for replacing Queen Elizabeth with a President in some of the island nations they have been visiting?

Time to get rid of the monarchy.
The tabloid hero Randy Andy now a sex pest how the world has changed. The question of states independent for 60 years having a symbolic foreign head of state is a question for themselves to answer. The local politicians that hide their own failures at the door of colonial oppression after that length of time need to cast their eyes east to the likes of Singapore to see how it can be done. As a lapse republican I am most great full to Mrs Queen for the stability of the last 70 years of no intervention tradition. The question of the establishment blobs control of U.K. politics is something that will need to be challenged but the thought of a U.K. head of state coming from the U.K. political and administrative class horrifies my .
There was a time, decades ago, when the monarchy actually meant something outside of Britain. This was a time when the "United Kingdom" still had a respectable reputation and some influence in global affairs. But obviously, that's changed. And it's no longer desirable to be aligned with the UK particularly by having a British monarch even as an an honorary "head of state".
Andrew the sex pest, Charlie creaming a tidy fortune out of the duchy of Cornwall, and married to the Rottweiler. The Cambridge’s are as dull as ditchwater and Hewitt’s son and Megan making a mockery of themselves stateside. Phil the Greek has gone and poor Liz looks totally lost in this family of misfits. But they are not the real issue. It’s the vested interests of all the aristocracy and old money snobbery wrapped up in a still suppressing class system that will keep Britain in the past. Brexit loving Etonians a la Johnson have made a giant leap backwards for The British. Rule Britannia?
