Windsors demonstrate their ignorance

Royal hypocrisy down under

Yet again a member of the so-called 'royal' family has made a complete fool of himself and, by association, this country.
On holiday in Australia with his wife, Phillip Windsor asked an aboriginal if they "still throw spears at each other".
The answer came that "no, we don't do things like that any more".
Is it not clear that the truly barbaric, the truly uncivilised, are these people - the so-called 'royals' - who stole from the people and used terrorism to elevate themselves, gathering an army of so-called 'nobles' around themselves with the promise of land and wealth to maintain their anti-social activities and ill-gotten gain.
The ones who throw the 'spears' at each other now are the so-called civilised countries - Britain, the US etc. - who have been unable to tear themselves away from the pattern of greed and violence which was set by the 'royals' 1000 years ago.
It all happened so long ago that now the cult of 'royalty' is venerated by a large and ignorant portion of the populace which seems unaware of the crime that has been perpetrated against all of us and our ancestors by these wretches.
They set a terrible precedent of violence, cheating, lying, stealing and corruption from which governments now seem unable to free themselves.
Is it not time to root out the original canker?
