KINGS WHO NEEDS THEM


The idea that we need a figurehead, a monarchy, however benign and well meaning is outdated.  People do not need to be told what to do.  They know. However unpredictable the outcome of their actions may be, humanity belongs to all of us and all of us have a part to play in its destiny.  The overwhelming desire to take to the streets is not some anomaly in human behaviour.  It is the legitimate and instinctive wisdom of individual members of the species to influence the direction and destiny of the human story.  Where once kings were made, now they can be unmade.  What does it tell the world that Britain, a modern democratic state, still bows to a monarch.  Before very long, Britain will be the backward country, overtaken by history and the compulsion of ordinary people to have a voice in how they live and what they think.
