Prince Charles Plans to Save the World

Frankly, I suggest that Prince Charles needs a new circle of associates and friends. He's getting some really bad advice.

The Prince of Wales says he believes he has been placed on Earth as future King ‘for a purpose’ - to save the world.

Giving a fascinating insight into his view of his inherited wealth and influence, he said: ‘I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose.

This guy has a serious case of silver-spooned lofties. In reality Prince Charles was "born into this position" because his mother was the Queen of England, not because of provident interference.

If the prince has a higher purpose in life, it came from God, not repeated viewings of Al Gore's movie or sessions of tinkling glasses with East Anglian academics. And last I'm aware, he has never said he's on a mission from God.

Disturbingly, the only things royal being displayed by Prince Charles' latest statements are ego and arrogance.

Make a note of my prediction, Your Royal Highness. You won't save the world. In fact, as a "green" King of England, when it comes about, you will automatically become a leader in the extreme environmental movement, a movement which only succeeds when shutting down businesses and industry and restricting sources of food and fuel.

To the greenies, "saving the world" means that the mass of humanity is unemployed, hungry and cold. It's utopia, the environment is undisturbed and the world's populations suffer evenly-distributed abject poverty.
