So no k c did not fly his bently to Paris .

If I’d been on the ball, I would have said “No, he didn’t fly his Bentley. It’s a car. It doesn’t have wings” 🤪

"Reasoned" - my backside!

Your posts drip with how much you despise the monarchy. Nothing reasoned in them whatsoever.

When I am going about my daily life, the RF might as well not exist. If it wasn't for the media, they pretty much wouldn't exist!!!

There are causes I would far rather espouse, ones that do impact on people on a day-to-day basis!

I admit I am into it the moment as I am reading Burke.

I do not despise. And I do not drip. At least I don't think I do.

I am clear. I do not believe in a monarchy as a system and think it is time for us to look at it seriously. But I am one in 70 million. You are the opposite of me so our votes would cancel each others!

I also think the royal family spend a lot of (our) money persuading us that they are good citzens, who work hard for the good of the country, and it is all rather trying.

I don't believe that either.

As they say on Mumsnet - don't click. You are not obliged to indulge me!

My opening post is fine.

Did King Charles fly his car to Paris? Implicit is the "why", and the disconnect between his stance as a climate change activist and transportation of a car to France.

That is what I wanted to discuss.

It think it is also clear that a supporter of the royal family would not start such a thread.

There is no dishonesty.

you could have spent a nano second googling as I did.

but instead you used the thread as a vehicle to get on your soapbox and “do your usual”

your penultimate post was sensible though

Well…not really

I used my first post to start a discussion about something that interests me.

c’est tout!

Pretty normal - both the behavior and the motivation I would think.

It's OK, you can relax, it's not true.

I think that when on official tours, the government decides the Kings transport. Probably the same with the car - the car was built with many security features. This may make them look hypocritical however they have no choice
