If there was £8m of taxpayers’ money spare you might think the government would want to spend it on education, health care or helping the poor.
But in fact the monarchist government would rather spend it on making children look at the mug of the hereditary head of state Charlie Windsor, the personification of unwarranted and enormous privilege.
The money has been allocated to the hanging of portraits of Windsor in schools and other public building.
To many the plan seemed like something to be expected in North Korea. However, a government spokesperson said it was to mark a “new era” for the UK, that new era being Charlie being head of state instead of his mum.
More likely it is intended to help indoctrinate children with monarchist ideas at a time when the number of republicans is increasing significantly, giving a monarchist bias to their education.
The plan went down particularly poorly in Scotland. According to Scotland’s The National newspaper “Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has asked for an “exhaustive” list of every public building in Scotland which would be eligible to apply for a portrait”.
Dowden described the free-loading Windsor as “the nation’s ultimate public servant”.
The newspaper quoted one Scottish National Party official as accusing the Conservative Party of wanting to “hang a picture of one of the wealthiest men in the country over the heads of children in the poorest communities in Scotland”.
