   King Charles III may be the king of Australia, but he doesn't get a cent   
   of the money I pay out in taxes to the Australian government.   
      
   And I'm not going to freeze to death in a Sydney winter.   
      
   Enjoy your fantasies about the plutocrats of Davos. Their American   
   counterparts do have quite a lot of political power, but the UK and   
   Australian political systems are less accommodating (if perhaps more   
   accommodating than their European equivalents). Your credulous attitude   
   to Russia Today probably blinds you to the fact that the Russian   
   kleptocrats are even more powerful than their American counterparts, if   
   more under Putin's thumb than the Americans are under Trump's (who   
   hasn't got the attention span required to be properly autocratic.
