Prince Charles Warns The ENTIRE World About The Dangers Of Trump Style Policies.

'On Thursday Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, spoke out against anti-immigrant populism, which has recently swept the world, insisting that it has “deeply disturbing echoes” of the Jews persecution by the Nazis during World War 2.

Eldest son of the queen, Prince Charles of Wales, told BBC Radio 4‘s breakfast news show Today that his parent’s generation:

‘fought and died in a battle against intolerance, monstrous extremism and an inhuman attempt to exterminate the Jewish population of Europe.’

‘That nearly 70 years later we should still be seeing such evil persecution is to me beyond all belief. We owe it to those who suffered and died so horribly not to repeat the horrors of the past.’

Prince Charles made the statement as a guest contributor for a scripted monologue called “Thought for the Day.” His focus was to urge those listening to embrace compassion, especially when it comes to immigrants and refugees. According to the United Nations, an estimated 65.3 million people globally have been forced to abandon their homes.

animals and the planet. It's too bad he and and his first wife were pushed together when he clearly should have been with Camilla all along. But I'm glad they had the two lovely boys. I think he can be an instrument for peace in the world.

...force for evil in the world. That being said, I admire Mr. Charles for his comments - perhaps there is good in everyone!

after what's just happened here AND considering, just for one example, World War2, the European part.

Every day is darker than the day before. Maybe Charles can convince Mom not to host Donald at the palace. British aristocracy is far more egalitarian than what is being installed as the head of the United States of America.

Replace with a meeting with Charles or William.

Her Majesty is slowly withdrawing from public life. She was until recently a patron to a number of charities. Charles is clearly taking on more Royal duties, as is William and Harry.

The way that Elizabeth has ran the monarchy is one reason why I will never be a Republican. The constitutional monarchy works. However the UK system is less likely to have a Trump-like Prime Minister... you have to be a career politician to lead a political party.

16. Those who refer to themselves as Conservatives in America are the radicals.

Real Conservatives in America want to keep Social Security, and safety net paid for and established over the years, while promoting accountability in Government; are wrongly labeled liberals or Progressives. When I hear Republicans refer to themselves as Conservatives I usually laugh in their face given the opportunity.

At least leaders in Great Britain have mastered the English language even when promoting ridiculous positions.

Royal family. They take a long term view for stability and the great
British values that have spread throughout the world.
