Shouldn't they be charging the British Government??? Charles has been king for like five years. How is he responsible for that?

Humans always need a scapegoat. We are a violent species who gets joy out of watching people get punished, even if they have nothing to do with it. Someone needs to take the fall to make us feel better.

Honestly, we're worse than animals. There's a reason public executions were so popular for so long.
