This country has a problem with mega rich landowners on 12:42 - Nov 3 by Zx1988
It feels as if there's been a decent shift over the last few years. I can't imagine that an institution such as The Times would have been quite so critical whilst Liz was about.
The cracks are starting to appear. The Beeb will be the big one. If/when they turn, I dare say things might gather pace.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when Charles snuffs it.
Liz was an interesting one because, thanks to her time in the role, it was a real era-defining/ending moment, which gave a little bit of credence to the Establishment's stance that "now is not the time" for a discussion on the future of the monarchy.
If Charles doesn't find himself enjoying the same levels of approval as Liz, and ends up being more of a caretaker monarch, the end of the third Carolean era might be seen as a better time to have some grown-up discussions.
And then we have William jetting halfway round the world in a private plane so that he can lecture us all about the harm of fossil fuels, and advocate for renewable energy, such as, for example, offshore windfarms.
Which pay his family for the right to lay their cable.
If he was an MP, or even just a trustee of a charity, he would have to declare an interest.
