WHATEVER one's views may be on the monarchy and any particular member thereof it should be very obvious that as long as the monarchy remains we will never have a Saddam Hussein, Hitler or anyone else of their ilk.

By defending the monarchy and the British Constitution we defend ourselves from dictators. We need the monarchy and they need us.

The majority of people in Britain want the monarchy retained and I would suggest to those who don't that they pack their bags and go elsewhere.
