I don't know how to get round it, really. I can't seem tohelp the emotional reaction I have to Her Maj but I also know the things I know. The idea of monarchs just gets into my amygdala and pokes me, somehow. I suppose I wish that the world could have a just ruler and the current systems don't seem to be working. Can I help it if a scared little part of me wants to have a big, bad Monarch to make everything okay?

American life was like living with an abuser and no none talking about the abuse. UK life is like everyone pretending Daddy doesn't drink anymore, as we trip over the empty bottles and pretnd we aren't living a bit of a lie.

What are we gonna do with all this nonsense happening? What are we gonna do?
