“The Firm” under attack as Andrew squirms in the gutter

The main point is the contrast between the respect we are supposed hold for these people (the Royals) and the reality that they are a dysfunctional bunch of pompous, privileged prats.

The moral improprieties reach their apogee in Andrew Windsor but from the King and his consort downwards they are an unappealing family. There is a “droit de seigneur” imperative which means that virtually all the male members have had liaisons galore. 

The whole edifice is preposterously phoney. The presumption that accident of birth should give one power, respect, money and and rights is repellent. And they parade their privileges in a way that is medieval. And to say that the Emperor and his crew have no clothes (which is often true) is challenged by the shameless royalists amongst us who kowtow and genuflect at every contrived opportunity. 

We only have ourselves to blame. Andrew gave good service in the Falklands but later in his twenty year naval career his deficiencies meant that his earned promotions were few. So his mother made him a Rear Admiral! It would be comical if it was not so offensive. 

It’s a while since we beheaded a King and I’m not suggesting we do so now. But surely at last the pantomime is over?
