Have you ever wondered what a Jack stands for in a pack of cards and why it stands along side the Kings and the Queens?

There are several answers to that question but in the main Jack stands for a Knave or Bower! A person of Lower Class, a servant!

When I think of this a photo always comes to mind, this one!

The more I read about the up-and-coming Coronation, the more my stomach churns, and not in a good way. I find myself asking a question I never thought I would, and that is, is the Mornarchy in its present state, outdated and no longer fit for purpose?

Can we, the Taxpayers, the knaves continue to pay for such lavishness at the rate we are doing when so many can barely feed themselves or heat their houses?

The cost of the Gold guilded State Coach to be refurbished has been astronomical, it’s fairy tale stuff. Is this morally right?

I know King Charles is trying to modernise and thin out The Firm but then to want such a lavish Coronation when the country is almost bust just doesn’t cut it. Unless of course we are not bust and this is just the narrative of this Tory government who always seem to be able to find monies for their pet projects and pals, but none for the Nurses who have been told to work harder to deserve a decent pay rise!

Have you ever noticed Westminster never actually show their accounts, we never see a Balance sheet, probably because there isn’t one! It probably comes under the heading ‘Not in the public interest!

We also hear much about Taxes raised by the Crown Estates in Scotland, at what point in history did Scotland cede land to the Crown? The very fact that there has never been a King or Queen of Scotland bares that truth out.

We might be Knaves but we own the land!
