To put it simply, Prince Charles is a stupid person.
Many years ago Prince Charles visited my neck of the woods (seriously). He was on some kind of good-will tour. And Charlie visited a large, empty field where a great steel mill had once stood.
“What should be done with this field?” the prince was asked. “You should plant flowers there”, Charlie replied.
Keep in mind that the steel mill once employed thousands of workers. And those workers supported a vibrant community that was now in ruins.
But, yeah. A field of posies would fix all that.
Look at these ravaged American cities where vacant lots are turned into “community gardens” - and local blacks who look like they could have stepped out of history books from two centuries ago tend to the crops...
But just think, you could have hired one unemployeed steel mill worker for a whole day to get the field planted with posies.
