Get Over It, Chuck: The Sun Has Set on the British Empire Long Ago


We learned recently from The Mail on Sunday, which had obtained copies of the Prince of Wales's diary, that he had opposed the handover of Hong Kong to Mainland China in 1997. He mocked then Chinese President Jiang Zemin and other top Chinese officials as "appalling old waxworks."

This is hypocritically delicious from a chap who has not worked a day in his life and whose handling of his flawed private life leaves a lot to be desired. These "old waxworks" were/are responsible for China's rise, which has eclipsed the importance of Britain and will eclipse the European (dis)Union's standing in the world. They have done more for more people in a shorter time period than it took Charles to drink his dainty tea and ride his girly pony.

It is this kind of arrogance on the parts of the royals that will hasten Britain's path to becoming a republic...
