They Sang God Save the Queen
She used her wealth and privilege to bring an end to poverty
When George Floyd died she led the nation when they took the knee
She made the toffs stop hunting
The foxes hung out bunting
She even stopped the Tories from shitting in the sea
She used her wealth and privilege to pay the nation’s power bill
And made an NHS fit for a queen if she fell ill
She closed food banks by the score
‘Cause they weren’t needed any more
And left the royal parks to the commons in her will
She used her wealth and privilege to make equality routine
She said this nation has no use for a nuclear submarine
She gave back all the loot
Gained in colonial pursuit
And when she died they dried their eyes and sung God Save The Queen

Brave submission, Steve.
I'm not an avid monarchist nor an avid republican. I am conflicted between the theory and the practice. In theory, I prefer by far an elected leader rather than one based on inheritance. In practice, I look at who this would have given us over the last 50 years, eg Boris and Margaret Thatcher.
Paradoxically, a monarch would have been (and still is) far less divisive for the nation than any elected partisan leader.
On balance therefore I find myself a reluctant monarchist.
