Protesters Go After The Royals

It's not just the American political royalty that's taking a beating from the people, the British royalty is being physically attacked:

The Duchess of Cornwall was physically attacked through an open car window as thugs rampaged in London, the Standard can reveal today.

A rioter managed to push a stick into the royal limousine and jab her in the ribs. Camilla's terrifying ordeal came as a baying mob surrounded her and husband Prince Charles when they rode through central London in the vintage Rolls-Royce last night.

A police source said one of the car's rear windows was opened in error as tuition fee protesters moved in.

The attack is the biggest royal security breach in decades and raises new questions about protection of the couple.

My wife and I were talking the other night about the upcoming royal wedding and I can't help but wonder how long it will be until the people rise up and toss them out. They're spending millions a year to keep these pampered public pets in their palaces and castles and in this modern age it just seems silly. They have no actual governmental power - they're just figureheads, and expensive ones at that.
