Lewis Carroll: “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings.”
Royalty does serve a useful purpose in diverting most tabloid attention away from the actual government, at least until someone like Boris Johnson became Prime Minister with his own diverting picadillos. However, their functions probably could be performed much more cheaply.
Today, the US Coast Guard intercepted a boat carrying 2000 pounds of pot. The entire 1800 pounds was turned over to local authorities, who had to use trucks to haul all 1600 pounds to a secure site, where the 1400 pounds will be stored before burning. Officials estimate that it will take several hours for the entire 1000 pounds to be burned. The local workers entrusted with burning the 500 pounds will be observed closely by officials to make sure the entire 250 pounds is destroyed properly!
Police estimate the street value of the 125 pounds at $3.7 million.

They harvest marijuana at a different time of year in Britain.

A word of advice to the British. Get rid of that bunch of parasitic aristocrats, starting with the old witch.

Zonk could name one of his pot strains with a royal theme of some kind. “Randy Andy?” “Queensbud?” Feel free to chime in.

Not sure America has much room to “dis” somebody else’s form of government with all that’s going on in Washington and Trumpmania these days.

Excellent. The monarchy could use a little marijuana.

It’s my understanding that Royalty brings in lots of tourism. It’s doubtful the country will want to get rid of that kind of a money draw.
