All at the expense of the British taxpayer, of course.

That is a LIE, a vicious, leftist, Jacobin, evil LIE. Prince Charles's organic farm is self-sufficient. His income comes from the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, not from the British taxpayer. The monarchy contributes more to the treasury (from the revenues of the Crown Estates) than it receives in government funds.

All you care about is that Tony Blair supported your beloved war in Iraq. It doesn't bother you that his government, which automatically reaches for the authoritarian solution to every problem from restricting trial by jury to national ID cards, has done more damage to British liberty than the worst kings ever could have dreamed of. It doesn't bother you that he has NO respect for his country's ancient constitution, brutally severing Parliament's medieval heritage by expelling the hereditary peers, who were removed not because they were "undemocratic" but because they were independent. It doesn't bother you that Blair wants to abolish the Pound and replace it with the Euro, handing over control of Britain's economy to a foreign bureaucracy.

Whatever one thinks of monarchy or the Iraq war, anyone who admires the socialist creep Blair is no conservative.

It surprises me not at all that you would favor handing political office from father to son, without benefit of election.

The western hemisphere is gradually being drained of despots. Perhaps you could get a taste of Castro before he kicks off. Democracy is likely to follow him, so you better hustle down there.
