Do I want to say the well being of the King this morning when everybody else is?
I feel I do, as a result of the information media are obsessing in regards to the well being of a person who will likely be taking a break from a job that fairly actually no-one must do, and are treating it as if nothing else within the nation issues. No surprise folks on this nation are so acquiescent after we are completely infantilised on this manner.
However let me additionally flip to the well being of Charles Windsor. In fact, I want him properly. I might do the identical for anybody with a most cancers analysis. I do know what it feels wish to be with somebody getting one, and to reside via their remedy. It was, not less than in my closest expertise, no enjoyable in any respect. At a human stage he has my complete sympathy, as do his household.
However Charles Windsor is for causes of eugenic perception additionally deemed to be our monarch, and as King he’s a public determine. In that position he’s not a non-public individual. And given the obsession with that position we should be advised the reality, and I very a lot doubt that’s taking place.
We have no idea what most cancers he has.
We have no idea when it was actually found.
We have no idea what stage it’s at.
We have no idea what the remedy goes to be.
The absence of this info is creating uncertainty, hypothesis and stress, which is the precise reverse of what the Palace stated it needed to do. That’s both unhealthy comms at finest or wholly inappropriate at worst. It actually would assist if the reality was advised. Infantilisation doesn’t assist at this second.
Greater than that although, it’s now beholden on these within the media who’re commenting to level out simply how distinctive this care apparently is. The velocity of response is sort of phenomenal. If the King requires remedy at this tempo, why would not everybody else? Is it that he’s actually value greater than the remainder of us, who haven’t any likelihood of being handled in the way in which that it might appear he’s being? Is not that a difficulty worthy of debate after we know that most cancers remedies are getting slower, fairly than sooner?
I stress, I’ve actual concern for Charles Windsor and his household. However I feel the reality is required each on his situation and why he will get preferential remedy once I suppose all most cancers sufferers have a proper to the very best commonplace of care and to have their issues alleviated to the best attainable diploma. Nothing in regards to the remedy he’s at the moment getting will assist obtain that aim with out awkward questions being requested. I reserve the precise to ask them.
