The Prime Minister is a Welshman [David Lloyd George], and the First Lord of the Admiralty is an Irishman [Lord Carson]. Yet no one has ever brought in a bill to give home rule to England!

So why should the abolition of the British monarchy be contemplated because the same is true of Prince Charles?
