10-11th September 2022

Lately, I’ve been bemoaning the lack of respect everywhere, but then came Thursday and everything changed. Up and down the land, people have been crying, including me.  I’ve been struggling to understand it, but at last it’s become clear. For me, I’ve been unable to grieve for my own lost family. But now the Queen, a maternal figure for us all, has died, opening the floodgates. Around the country, others are reporting a similar reaction. So, now we have a king. He has shown wonderful respect for his mother, just as the 5th commandment decrees. We also have a new PM, the third woman in the role, who was loyal to, and respected, her predecessor. At least Charles won’t be like the last, very lustful, King Charles (II). Our new king only ever loved one woman. At last Camilla is by his side. Royal advisers back then had a lot to answer for, ruining the lives of Edward VIII, Diana and Princess Margaret too with their stringent rules on spouse suitability. At least Elizabeth was allowed to marry the love of her life. For the British public, a new era dawns. Passports, postboxes, coins, banknotes, stamps, royal food labels, the national anthem - all must be replaced. But let’s hope the public too have now learned respect.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II. 
G-d Save the King.
