How popular is the Royal Family in the UK? – BBC News

Published

on



The coronation of King Charles takes place in less than two weeks, with Prince William, Catherine and Prince Harry among those attending while Meghan stays in the US. 

To gauge the public mood ahead of the event, Panorama commissioned a YouGov opinion poll which has suggested public opinion about the British Royal Family is changing.

The results suggest broad support for keeping the monarchy, with 58% preferring it to an elected head of state – which was supported by 26%.

But the results found less than a third of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK want the monarchy to continue.

It also found that almost half of those asked who were from ethnic minority backgrounds believe the Royal Family has a problem with race and diversity.

    Эта королевская семья должна сидеть в тюрьме, а не на троне!
    Они все преступники, а не короли. Они не умеют ничего делать, это бездельники, которые живут в каменном веке, хотят убивают, хотят калечат, а хотят устраивают войны между братскими народами. А сейчас они подкупили Путина, чтобы они могли царствовать в России и СНГ.
    Я так пишу, потому что столкнулась с этой невежественной семейкой воочию, они пытались убить и искалечить меня, моего сына и внуков, потому что мы правнуки царя Николая Романова, императора Всероссийского. Я правнучка царя Николая Романова, жива и здорова, и сейчас могу рассказать, как живут эти королевские семьи, которые сидят на шее у народа, не работают, занимаются грабежом и насилием. Им мало Великобритании, они хотят править ещё и в России. Поэтому Карл подкупил Путина, чтобы он позволил им править в России, а Карл будет поддерживать войну, убийства, зверства Путина.
    Эта королевская семья вся покрыта кровью, они отказались от своего родного брата царя Николая Романова, и в 1918 году его расстреляли и сожгли все тела до неузнаваемости, потому что это был масонский ритуал, который был сделан для установления новой монархии на территории России и СНГ, этот масонский ритуал был сделан дедом Карла и его семьёй. Затем Елизавета полностью была погружена в эти масонские интриги, которые делали они постоянно друг на друга, пока она не убила Диану, тоже ритуалом масонов. Эти преступления должны быть обнародованы и должны быть закончены, а пока эти преступные короли должны быть лишены всяческих королевских титулов.

    The truth is, the monarchy is irrelevant to most Brits. They're a tourist attraction essentially. They create fodder for the tabloid media and help raise money and bring attention to charitable causes but that's about it. If you abolished the monarchy, they'd still be VERY wealthy people. The UK will still have their history and traditions. They'll still have the castles and jewels. They just won't have to spend millions of taxpayers dollars supporting them. But they'll still have to shell out millions to maintain all the properties, unless they turn Buckingham Palace into Graceland.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
