France has one of the largest Muslim populations in europe, which does not bode well for the future.

Around 5 million unassuming, hard-working and law-abiding people, yes.
Are you expecting the French to invade the UK?

Because it doesn't.
There have been tensions between French people and North African Muslims in France for nearly sixty years.
The way the French treat them is even worse than in the UK.
Many live in tower blocks in les banlieus!
And many struggle to find work.
Trust me, this will come to a head and soon.

Tensions are usually caused by agenda driven misinformation, be it via unfiltered press articles or posts on forums.

Trust me, little has changed in the populist road that inevitably leads to fascism.

You would think history would teach us some lessons in going way off topic.

Anyway ...... it's been said that King Charles will "play down" the role of the Monarchy during his reign (and one asparagus fortune teller says he'll pass it over to Prince William next year - watch this space!)

What do we think about that?

I think he has waited so long for it he will want to enjoy it for as long as possible.

He will definitely slim down the monarchy,but I think he is aiming for a decent reign
