A king’s speech we could all get behind

Thank you for Simon Tisdall’s well-crafted article incorporating an alternative draft speech for delivery by King Charles to the US Congress later this month (Protocol be damned: here’s what King Charles should say on his visit to the US, 12 April).

While many readers would agree with the gist of Tisdall’s draft, I and many others would also welcome the inclusion of even sharper, targeted criticism of key individuals in the current US administration, including Donald Trump. Such direct confrontation appears to be the only tactic that gives Trump even the slightest pause for thought in relation to his most recent ludicrous statement or action.
