Once all was ready King Charles III read out what had already been prepared for him of what the current Tory government has planned before the General Election which is expected to be next year.

King Charles III depressive speech and his body language really said it all, on many occasions his face told a story all of its own, it was obvious he was not happy with what he had to read out.

Here then is the complete at a glance list of things King Charles III had to read out:

• The United Kingdom will continue to lead international discussions to ensure that Artificial Intelligence is developed safely.

Most of the above is simply drivel with the Tories so far behind in the poles and looking for scraps you can see for yourself how bad things are, for example “The government will introduce legislation to create a smoke free generation by restricting the sale of tobacco so that children currently aged fourteen or younger can never be sold cigarettes” when has tobacco ever been legally been sold to children?

Crime and ASB has always been a problem in many parts of the UK simply because their is not enough police that the government cut and hardly replaced, ASB should be tackled by housing associations also and often they do not do anything.

We think attacking those on welfare to be cruel when the PM and his friends spent millions on useless PPE during the pandemic! this was your money! it is also a fact that jobs are not that easy to get! for example most people would suit a manual labour job not someone in an office where you will need experience.

These manual jobs attract everyone, thousands will go for the same job and we know this is true! although we are not saying it’s useless not to go for any job as you might get lucky! many though do not simply because ahead of them are either more experienced or more fitter, maybe even younger than you are! these are the facts.

So to target those that are genuinely seeking a job whilst on a dreadful and shameful benefit such as Universal Credit is a complete disgrace.

Lots of things were not mentioned in the speech yesterday which shows how embarrassed the government are, it would have been brave has they added “We will make sure all the homeless will find a place to live more so our brave former military heroes”

The King he cannot do anything but read out the rubbish from the government but his face said it all and we agree!
