Quite frankly, it has been a bit of an uphill struggle. But, now, it is time to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eIn order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model. Having been engaged in these issues since I suppose 1968, when I made my first speech on the environment, and having talked to countless experts across the globe over those decades, I have come to realise that it is not a lack of capital that is holding us back, but rather the way in which we deploy it. Therefore, to move forward, we need nothing short of a paradigm shift, one that inspires action at revolutionary levels and pace. With this in mind, I am delighted to be launching a Sustainable Markets Initiative, with the generous support of the World Economic Forum.\u201c<br><br>This man is about to take an oath promising to govern us according to our laws and customs. But he actually wants to do away with such customs as being able to choose what sort of transport to buy, and being able to use the Kings highway without impediment. Because of his long held ideological stances and alignments, he is not respected by a large proportion of the people in the disunited kingdom. Tough times for pro-monarchists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know what sort of \u201aexperts\u2018 Charles has been talking to. We also know he\u2019s led a sheltered life of immense privilege and comfort. He has no idea what it\u2019s like to dread opening a gas and electricity bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A question worthy of open public debate. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8OaVeytoGJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/8OaVeytoGJ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Rog Tallbloke (Righto\/Chief) \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 (@RogTallbloke) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RogTallbloke\/status\/1652938045790773248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s time for that debate.
