king not free

seems, not entirely, to be forced by Truss.

British King Charles III Not long after he ascended the throne, he must have felt that the king's life is not free.

No, the British royal family confirmed on October 2 that Charles III will not attend the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2022.

Charles III was told by Truss not to go to COP27

According to the BBC (BBC), a statement from Buckingham Palace said that Charles III sought the advice of UK Prime Minister Truss, "in mutual friendly and In an atmosphere of respect, the king decided not to attend CPO27."

In Uncle Hai's opinion, the information disclosed by Charles III, whether it is "friendly", "respectful" or not, regardless of the atmosphere, in short, the result is that the king does not attend CPO27. But this trip was included in Charles III's annual travel plan. Make an assumption, just an assumption -

If Queen Elizabeth II hadn't passed away, and now Charles III is just Prince Charles, will he be able to make this trip?

If the Queen is still alive, can the old prince make this trip?

Haishu wants to say, but not necessarily.

From the current objections of Truss, it is not necessarily because Charles is not allowed to travel because he has already ascended the throne, but because he may attend CPO27 What consequences will be brought to the current British government superior.

On September 23, Truss, who took office less than three weeks ago, announced tax cuts. According to the " Times" , this is the largest tax cut in the UK in half a century. Although the British government has made a 180-degree turn, saying it will abandon its previously proposed plan to abolish the 45% top income tax rate. But at the same time, various anecdotal rumors have suggested that the next step in the UK may renege on its climate change commitments.

Why did Truss do this? The reason is actually very simple - the UK is having a hard time right now.

On October 2, local time, Truss said at the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham that since the exchange rate of sterling has fallen to a record low, the government's borrowing costs will soar. Under such extraordinary circumstances, we must find a way to survive the economic winter. How did

spend it? Although Truss did not say it clearly, for example, will the emission reduction plan promised by the UK before, etc., still be implemented?

Greta Thunberg

British Sky TV host Bolt said on August 22 that in Europe, the previous adoration of Sweden environmental protection girl Greta Thunberg has gone bankrupt. "She terrorized people to do very stupid things." Hey, where did this come from? Is this the case in European public opinion? When it was time for Greta Thunberg to be a "green girl", all kinds of media touted it wildly. However, the reality is that during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Europe was on the sidelines, and the United States was in constant fire, which led to the inability of Russian energy to enter Europe normally, which led to a shortage of energy in Europe. At this time, some European countries have to face a choice - Is

freezing,

or burning firewood?

At this time, how can some former "nobles" care about so-called decency? So, the environmental protection girl is also abandoned like a shoe?

To some extent, Charles was once like a "green boy". Regardless of his age, he appeared as an environmental expert during COP26, not only talking about how he loves the cause of environmental protection, but also about his grandson, Prince George, who is also Prince William and How Kate's son is kind to the earth.

"Eight-year-old Prince George is deeply committed to the planet and already understands the devastating effects of climate change..." Charles tells himself in a BBC documentary ahead of the country's COP26 in Glasgow Grandson's love.

In Uncle Hai's opinion, there is nothing wrong with a grandfather who loves his grandson, and when he says that his little grandson loves environmental protection. But the question is, why is the British Prime Minister now reluctant for the King to attend COP27?

Is it because the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to the energy crisis , can the British go against their original intention and stop advocating energy conservation? This doesn't seem right!

Not to mention, Charles III has encountered more than one unpleasant thing since he ascended the throne. For example, twice because of the ink leaking from the pen and the face is difficult.

Charles has two expressions of embarrassment due to leaking ink from his pen recently

Uncle Hai, I don't understand -

Isn't the UK the birthplace of 's industrial revolution ? If it is excusable that it lags behind in some fields at the time of the fourth industrial revolution, or can find reasons to prevaricate, the nib of a pen, for the UK, is it? Shouldn't it be a handy product? It can be said that -

let alone now, even 100 years ago, even 150 years ago, the production of British fountain pens should have passed the test; The pens used by ordinary elementary and middle school students should also have a high probability of not leaking ink, right?

We can't force the United Kingdom, which is already an industrialized power, to retain the small commodity production line such as the national flag. Our Yiwu in China can produce it instead. But the pen, after all, is also the face of an industrialized country, so it makes the king look embarrassed? Can't tell.

I have to say that since Charles ascended the throne, he has seen a different Britain than when his mother ascended the throne. Just this weekend, thousands of people took to the streets from London to Manchester , from Glasgow to Newcastle, holding up signs such as "We're Enough!" and "Refuse to Pay", burning energy bills.

Come to think of it, he doesn't have the leisure to talk about so-called environmental issues. The king of

is not free, it seems, and not entirely forced by Truss.
