And the Kohinoor diamond was stolen from India. The Brits forced the 10-year-old Maharaja Duleep Singh to sign over the diamond (and Punjab) by imprisoning his mother! #notmyking #AbolishTheMonarchy #coronationprotest #Coronation

We want to see the monarchy abolished and the King replaced with an elected, democratic head of state. In place of the King we want someone chosen by the people, not running the government but representing the nation independently of our politicians. An elected, effective head of state. The monarchy is wrong in principle, it's bad for British politics and it falls well short of the standards we should expect of public institutions.

@zaphcamden I'll stick with calling it a vast and inexcusable waste of money, especially when people are starving, dieing of hypothermia or queueing up at Foodbanks.
