English Painter Explains The Fraud Of Monarchy

Although the death of Queen Elizabeth II was expected to reveal fissures in not only the English monarchy, but also the UK’s response to monarchy, the exact opposite happened. Non-legally binding commands, such as an arbitrary period of mourning, were forced on the UK under threat of social penalty, while a compliant media sprung to the monarchy’s defense for weeks on end. What are some thoughts on English monarchy going forward? Can the UK have a true, functional democracy with the monarchy intact? How do the Crown’s business interests in the media control the flow of information? In this video, UK painter Ethan Pinch explains the state of affairs while answering these and other questions.
