Nature, the biggest bank of all, could go bust, warns Prince Charles
Delivering this year's Richard Dimbleby Lecture, the Prince said that the next generation will face a "living hell" unless governments urgently tackle climate change and stop plundering the Earth's natural resources.
"In failing the Earth, we are failing Humanity," the Prince said, drawing parallels with the global financial crisis. "Just as our banking sector is struggling with its debts... so Nature's life-support systems are failing to cope with the debts we have built up there too.
If we don't face up to this, then Nature, the biggest bank of all, could go bust. And no amount of quantitative easing will revive it."

There’s a reason the Queen has not turned the throne over to this doofus. Every time he opens his yap, he embarrasses the monarchy.

In this new era of collapsing institutions and resurgence of the Left, I fear this may be the end of the British monarchy. It would be a shame if he were the last...

Charles is daft. His title should be Prince of Whales. The people of Wales shouldn't be disgraced by association with this weak minded old fool.

Prince Charles is perhaps the leading case for English republicanism.
