Not our values

One of claims monarchists use to defend that archaic institution is that the royal family symbolises our values. I'd like to go on record and say that this is not one of my values, and neither is this (and neither is the fawning obsequiousness of Britain's aristocratic system, which means that the victims of this abuse cannot be seen to complain about it. "True humility" indeed...)

If we want a head of state which reflects our values, then we should elect our own, rather than continuing to be reigned over by this family of racists.
