Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Strange. I thought that in Islam both he and his wife would be stoned to death?
This of course, explains in part the appeal of Cromwell, as per this feel-good song from Ulster, Cromwell, Protector of the Realm.
One should bear in mind that as it was said of the late Queen, ‘she thinks the World smells of fresh paint.’ Everywhere Charlie goes is curated, sanitised and carefully selected people on their best behaviour are put forward for a brief chat, so he only meets people who want to meet him, apart from the occasional incident. So his words and choices are done with a view to making the Monarchy appear inclusive. Unless I am very much mistaken, he has said nothing about the rape gangs, following the lead of his mother, who did make the occasional dig such as at the LSE asking why no one foresaw the 2008 crash (she hadn’t asked that of the Austrians).
However, my favourite conspiracy theory is that Charlie has ‘converted’, for which I can see no evidence at all. His very first act as King was to sign an oath to uphold the Church of Scotland. Oddly, he is also head of the Church of England. Now looking at that body, one might not have noticed but there is no Archbishop of Canterbury, he resigned before Christmas last year, and left office in January 2025 after Twelfth Night. He resigned very quickly after IIRC the Bishop of Newcastle called him out over some old ‘safeguarding’ issue of a perverted priest. There is no great haste to find a successor, but there is a process underway. In the interim, a new Pope has come, in around 2 weeks, for a much larger organisation. One conspiracy theory is that the previous Archbishop knew of the King’s faith and could stomach it no more, (I know that sounds odd), and the resignation was contrived as cover to save blushes all round.
But so odd is this country now, I cannot say that I could criticise someone for believing that.
Mr Ed,
I would. Charles is stupid enough to really believe the whole touchy-feely “Defender of Faiths” bollocks. I mean he’s into homeopathy, talking to plants and desiring to be a tampon (and we all know where they end up). We don’t have our first Muslim King – we have our first Hippy on the throne. I do think you have a point though about Charles having lived a “curated” life.
Now NickM, you have given me an idea, homeopathic government and government spending, the less of it you have and the more you dilute it, the better it works.
I don’t see this getting much traction with Charlie.
Mr Ed,
Well, we already have a sort of homeopathic NHS.The waiting lists for some things are so long that the problem will either go away of it’s own accord or you’ll die. Bizarrely, whilst in principle, this should cost next to nothing to run it, instead, costs squillions…
From the articled in the OP…
The total lack of self-awareness this betrays is phenomenal. It’s bloody easy to decry the gross materialistic impulse of the proles from one of your several palaces isn’t it? And Muslim societies rejecting having nice things… Well, yeah, maybe in Somalia but that is hardly through choice or theology. Charles has entertained (and been entertained by) enough Gulf sheikhs and princes that he ought to know this.
Whilst Liz and Phil were genuine National Treasures their sons are bloody awful and whilst the details of their bloody awfulness vary there is one common strand which is a complete lack of self-awareness of how they are perceived.
Charles is a retarded hippie who thinks he is some sort of second-coming of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Andrew is a vile sexual predator and grifter who thinks because he fought in the Falklands he is immune from criticism.
Edward is just Really Useless – even at musical theatre. And yes, I know what that connotes.
Then there is Anne. Now she really is a sour-faced misery-puss of the first water but she knows this and revels in it. So fair play. I actually think I might quite enjoy her company.
The next batch… William seems OK and it was great seeing him with the Lionesses because he genuinely seems to love his footie*. His brother is a tosser who thinks we ought to care that he married a sort of Poundland Gwyneth Paltrow. Beatrice and Eugenie are just unforgiveably ugly. I swear it was an image of Bea in a “fascinator” that caused my last TV to join the digital Choir Eternal.
*OK, he’s a Villan but I guess Wills has enough silverware of his own anyway and as a Newcastle fan I’m in no real place to cast nasturtiums…
Technically, to maintain the Protestant faith in Scotland. It strikes me that the greatest threat to that right now is the Church of Scotland.
I’m not sure it matters all that much. In one sense I don’t see a problem with him being the patron of an organization that represents the belief system of a huge number of people in Britain. I mean sure it might be a bit of conflict of interest with being head of the CoE, but let’s face it, the CoE is the homeopathy of Christianity — so watered down there is nothing left. It isn’t really a religion, more a social organization and pillar of the state than anything — which, I suppose is what you get when your church is “established”, its priests are civil servants, and, as David Starkey once said, is based on the family values of Henry VIII.
Charles III has no power at all, even less than his mother. So, for all his blundering, bumbling buffoonery, is vastly preferable to the tyrannical reign of Oliver Cromwell. Holy crap, do you really want to go back to a time when they put you in jail for celebrating Christmas?
You’ll just have to wait it out for the ascendency of William V, who isn’t great but is a great improvement on his father, and is supported by Catherine who seems about as perfect a person as one could imagine to fit into the role of Queen Consort.

A few years from now the The Islamic Repuplic of Britistan might do just that…
Looking to the UK’s recent sociological and governmental trends, this may be that moment when we discover that England really IS ruled by its king. It would explain a lot.
As well as Islam I suspect HRH identifies strongly with middle-aged middle to upper class ladies who consider it their sacred duty to block motorways.
As and when the next Archbishop of Canterbury is enthroned, she or he (you read it here first) should accept this ‘dare’ (a unilateral obligation freely accepted to save face, usually in schoolboys under 14) from me:
On being enthroned/consecrated as Archbishop of Canterbury in Canterbury Cathedral, and having finished the ritual words, call out in symbolic revenge for Thomas à Becket
