This whole business of royalty started with wealthy lords fighting with armies to take control of people and land. The victors were crowned and then treated as godlike. Nothing to be proud of. Supplied with castles and servants and nothing to do but eat and drink and be entertained. And at tax payers expense.
And what is annoying about all this constant TV and radio coverage of movement of coffin etc, is that football games have been postponed this week. Why? It would have been better to have crowds together in a stadium who could show appreciation if they wished. It has just frustrated loads of fans. 3/4 of a million people are expected to descend on London next Monday to watch state funeral. Hope they have enough toilet facilities.
Orz I think that Camilla was always in Charles's mind and perhaps you're right, he wanted children and when they arrived he decided to pursue his real love. Diane would have been neglected and her problems then started. I'm not a monarchist and I don't accept people should be treated as some superior being.
Agent B You don't have to read this blog. And it's not in code. Try and come up with a blog yourself that is understandable and not mumbo jumbo talk. Quite a challenge, I know.
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that beings who were bipedal existed probably millions of years ago and seeded a number of planets, and then diet and environmental factors influenced the physical appearance and evolutionary development of beings. Other planets may have similar appearance to us, but will be subject to their own lifestyle experiences.
And, once you realise that you have been programmed, your personality has been decided and stored in your collective unconscious, you can then decide if you wish to play this game of life. Otherwise, you are just a pawn and subject to your programming.
Merlot If Africa shunned China, once investments made, it can do the same to Russia. The African president's know how valuable gold is. They will decide to keep it as security for their future. That applies to diamond mines and other precious materials.
And what part does love play in all of this? This is just an instinctive force that leads humans to find a mate to reproduce and keep the civilisation functioning. Our creator/s, put this emotion in our DNA with of course certain desires to make the whole thing attractive in order to create a feeling of fulfillment in a human's existence.
"Ukraine switched to the west." You're right. They chose that course, which does not justify Russia to invade. To allow this invasion and for the west to back off, sends a message to China to invade Taiwan.
I'm sure the people of the continent of Africa would welcome any control from Russia. Russia would no doubt be happy to receive migrants from that continent. They could all drive Ladas, and possibly be recruited to fight any Russian wars. Thus saving the lives of the Russia indigenous population. Any refusals of course and they would end up in labor camps. The important continent is Antarctica. This has yet to be exploited for minerals and oil. The major powers are trying to establish bases there.
On Thursday Trussbot will deliver a speech on how she will deal with all the current problems. Energy prices, Health services, inflation etc We all wait to see what is proposed.
Miclee Instead of wearing COVID masks, people can look forward to wearing woolly hats, scarves, fur coats, gloves, boots and sit in front of a candle. All courtesy of governments lack of energy planning and complacency.
JS The initial drilling etc would be costly, but fortunately the oil and gas companies have the equipment and expertise to tackle it. They just need motivating by government, which means money for them. But if we are desperate for energy, can we afford not to use it?

Tiger mothI thought Biden was the president. His entourage would be security only. What did I say different?
