Whether or not you decide to celebrate, we might care to remind ourselves that this constitutional monarch is the head of The British Armed Forces and is by default the last line of defence against the tyranny of the majority. We mess with it at our peril as we see tyranny already waiting in the wings! Consider the way trans people have been excluded from the ban on conversion therapy, the attempts to silence protest, the treatment of refugees, the disenfranchisement of the poor, and disdain for the truth as signs of tyranny.
