You don't want to be undemocratic, do you?

I do! grin

It's clearly not what the people of Britain want. It's more of a necessary weakness of the democratic system.

[up] Well if you want to make it impossible for forests to be sold or state charity to be reduced when the composition of Parliament changes, hand over forests and welfare to the Queen. grin

Irrelevant, he's Prime Minister, which means whatever he does is what the people of Britain want him to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been elected.

Oh, I get it. "If the President does it, it's not illegal." I guess Tories are the same no matter time nor place.

I'm not sure how many tropers here read Private Eye magazine but there was a section mentioning the sales of forests.

It mentioned that the private buyers once they'd bought the forest, could claim grants to plant trees sustainably for cutting and for maintenance. In effect we'd be giving them money to make money on logging...

You'd never get Prince Charles out of the forests. People would be saying, "You have to come and become King now, sir," and he would reply, "Not now, old chap, I'm in the middle of a conversation with this old oak."

I don't think people would be saying that for very long. It would soon shift to "fuck this noise, we'll crown William instead".

Charles is unfit for the throne because he's crazy, huh?

That massively inbred Spanish king managed, I suppose. There's no reason Charles couldn't do likewise; all he does is talk to his vegetables.  *
