Abolish the monarchy, not the right to protest
As we speak the whole core team of Republic is still being detained. We are not given a reason. They will probably be released when the whole monarchy pr-show is over.

Asking people to swear allegiance to Charles and his heirs, means swearing allegiance to Andrew. In a democracy it is the Head of State who should swear allegiance to us. This is an offensive and tone deaf gesture that holds the people in contempt.

So, people have inevitably started talking about the economic benefit of the monarchy. Because when it's obvious the shine is coming off and people are losing interest, why not revert to talking about money? Here's why that claim about the profitable monarchy is nonsense. 🧵
