From Kensal and Kilburn Better 2023
#NotMyKing, April 19, 2023 at 7:00 PM is an event where Kilburn and Kensal people can ask, ahead of the coronation: do we want this monarchy?
Recent polls show 30% of the British public want to end the monarchy and 55% want to keep it. It is surprisingly difficult to have a proper discussion in public - in Parliament or on the TV or radio - about the future of the monarchy. This is a chance to do that!
We have two brilliant speakers for this event!
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a multi-award-winning journalist, author, and commentator
Graham Smith is CEO of the group Republic & author of upcoming book "Abolish the Monarchy"
Some of the many questions!
- Can hereditary public office be justified in 2023?
- Does monarchy prop up the whole edifice of privilege in the UK?
- How much power does the monarchy have?
- How much wealth does it have and how much do we pay for it?
- What is the truth about the monarchy's value to the tourist industry?
- How much power are governments able to hold without accountability because of the existence of the monarchy?
- What about Prince Andrew?
- If we have an elected Head of State - maybe similar to the president in Ireland - would that be better?
- Can we fix our broken democracy without ending the monarchy?
Everyone very welcome! Including, of course, strong royalists! Let's discuss!
