I assumed that when Brian became king he's take a scalpel to the monarchy and slash everything. Perhaps because of his health issues he hasn't time or was never going to do it?

The greed of it all. The unashamed amorality. Charles the caring 'environmental saviour' and William the caring 'homelessness saviour' revealed to be the very worst offenders on both counts.
King and Prince William’s estates ‘making millions from charities and public services’
Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster likely to make at least £50m from leasing land to services such as NHS and schools, according to investigation

The "helping" homeless people by people with more homes than they know what to do with has always got right up my nose. If they were serious, they'd chuck Uncle Handsy and his teddies out of that big house and turn it into supported accommodation for rough sleepers. The degree of hypocrisy on environmental matters took me by surprise though.
Definitely time to wheel out the shiny choppy thing imo. Pass me my sabots... (I draw the line at going sans-culottes).

It's not just the Royal Family - the CofE, and round here the local public school, own vast tracts of land. I dare say the likes of Eton and Harrow are the same. And the landed gentry.
The house I live in is on land which was once owned by the Church Commissioners, who are busy trying to sell off a lump of land down the road for development.

A Canadian town is now non functional because it's council are all refusing to swear an oath of allegiance to King Charles III. Apparently they are all taking this stand in solidarity with a First Nation council member who has concerns about the RF's history with First Nation people.
I do think it's pretty archaic that in this day and age, a meaningless token like that can stop government working. Need to get priorities straight.

“Mad as hell & I’m not going to take this anymore”
Pretty disgusting when there are elderly, vulnerable and impoverished people who cannot heat their homes or who are unable to feed themselves adequately.
I cannot fathom how anyone can justify pandering to the vanity of one spoiled individual in this manner - not least because there is no constitutional requirement for a coronation and the UK appears to be an outlier in this regard, in doing so.

Good luck to them I say.

I'm amazed that town councillors in Canada are (still) required to take this oath. Apparently not all of them are
Out of interest, does anyone know if this still applies to councillors in the UK?

Don't know but i know MPs do as that is why SF in NI refuse to take their seats. Seems likely the same rule would apply to councillors though?
