Having received a multitude of complaints about King Charles III's failure to mark the most important day in the Christian calendar, the day of Resurrection, despite having marked Ramadan and Eid, and having recognised that his Christian subjects' just concerns should be listened to and acted upon when doing so costs very little and will reap dividends above and beyond the effort expended, while failing to do so might ultimately prove to be irreversibly damaging, I hope he will begin listening to the complaints of his subjects, and not fall prey to the error which his first cousins three times removed, Tsar Nicholas II and the Tsarina Alexandra, made in the months before February 1917. Had Nicholas and Alexandra simply listened to the valid concerns of their subjects, rather than ignoring them in the mistaken belief that they were too trivial to warrant attention, all that happened after February 1917 might well have been averted. While resolve is a valuable quality in a leader, pigheadedness is not. Unless The King begins to listen to the concerns his Christian subjects have that he is promoting the interests of Islam over those of Christianity, he runs the risk of unnecessarily alienating the very people who are a cornerstone in the edifice of his Crown. I do appreciate that Easter addresses have not been a traditional part of the Monarch's remit, but since addresses relating to Ramadan and Eid have not been either, he might consider that the virtue of evenhandedness will prevent many of the problems that are arising when the Supreme Governor of the Church of England neglects to mark the most important day of his Church's calendar while having marked similarly significant dates in the Islamic calendar. And let's not forget Diwali. He managed to mark that too. All very noble and inclusive and a means of showing respect for others' faiths, but let's also not forget that charity starts at home, and before one endows others with one's largesse, it might be sensible to apportion an appropriate degree of attention closer to home. Otherwise one runs the risk of taking for granted those whom one should not be ignoring, and whom one might ignore at one's own peril.

Total. Football. Bankies. 🤩

TRUFAX. Every secondary school class in the 1980s had precisely one boy who could sniff a rubber band up his nose & pull it out his mouth, precisely one who could who fart on demand, and precisely one "who could play Eddie Van Halen's Eruption when he was still only 13."

This kid crushed his school talent show solo and the kids sitting in the background have no idea they are witnessing greatness Opened with Eruption (Van Halen), blended into Becoming (Pantera) and Creeping Death (Metallica).
