If we got nuked today it would go unnoticed by the media.

When I got discharged from the hospital yesterday after three days in for dehydration, the first news that I heard was that Kate Middleton was in labour. As a republican this does not class as news to me, a woman has had a baby, when my sister has her baby in the autumn will that make the news? Of course not, it all comes back to the feudal British society. The sooner we have a republic the better. Also don't say the monarchy increases tourism, as it doesn't. People still visit France and they killed their monarch, tourists won't suddenly stop visiting because we would no longer have an outdated political system. I can't wait until  Charles becomes King and makes people see the influence that the monarch holds.
