I wish #Charles#Windsor all the best in his battle with cancer...
However, as an #Australian#citizen, I do not recognise him as my king nor that I am his 'subject'.
Equally, I do not accept his assertion of a #divine#birthright to rule.
I very much resent that our taxes will be used to provide him with a luxurious farewell tour of my country and would much prefer that he stay home and tend to his health at his own expense.

In Windsor Shopping Centre/Railway station we saw this glorious 'Steampunk' sculpture of a bull. He is magnificent!
There was no plaque nearby giving any information about the very talented artist who made him, why he is tucked away in a fairly inconspicuous position, or why he appears to have been dehorned at some point. Google has not been forthcoming with any information.
Does anyone know anything about him?
If he is unwanted, we would love to have him in our garden & would give him pride of place! #Windsor#SteampunkBull#Sculpture#Art#Steampunk
