King Charles sets out new Labour government's priorities

[GEO.TV] Britannia's King Chuck

...King of England, Scotland, Ireland -- at least part of it -- Wales, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and places like that. The first King Chuck had his head chopped off, the second one was Good Time Charlie. The third once wanted to be a tampon and thinks we'll all be extinct within the next seven years...
set out Prime Minister Keir Starmer's legislative agenda on Wednesday, promising a government of service focused on reviving the economy and tackling issues from an acute housing shortage to a cost of living crisis.

In a ceremony full of pageantry, before an audience of robed lords and politicians, Charles read out the laws the government is prioritising after Starmer's centre-left Labour Party won a large majority at this month's election.

The package of more than 35 bills will focus on growing the economy, reforming planning laws to make it easier to build homes and speeding up the delivery of major infrastructure projects, improving transport and creating jobs.

The king's speech, written by the government, also tried to set a new tone to British politics, promoting service rather than self interest, something that Labour says took root over 14 years of often chaotic Conservative Party rule.

The ruler can refuse to give the speech as written if he or she disagrees with the words.

"My government will govern in service to the country," said Charles, wearing a crimson and white robe and the Imperial State crown.

"My government's legislative programme will be mission-led and based on the principles of security, fairness and opportunity for all."

#4 ...promoting service rather than self interest

Remember they're subjects, not citizens.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

#5 1) More renewables to setup the UK for energy insecurity.
2) More diversity via more immigrants from mostly a homogenous religious culture.
3) Wind towers doubling as minarets.
4) English common law to be dropped in favor of Sharia Law by 2050.
5) Large decrease in British green space due to building 1.5M new housing units. Most of which will go to "asylum seekers" imo.
