Uh, yeah, George… I have just noticed something. Have you looked at our crown recently?
Our crown?
Yeah, the decorations on our crown, have you looked at them?
What? No, a bit…?
It has jewels on it. Have you noticed that our crown actually has large jewels on it. I don’t uh… George… are we the baddies? But why jewels though?
what?
Why jewels?
Well, maybe they are the jewels of our enemies!
Maybe, but is that how it comes across? It doesn’t say next to the jewel, “You know, yeah we killed him but trust us this guy was horrid.”
Well, no.
But… I mean what do jewels make you think of? Colonialism, imperialism, beheading, um, slaves…?
Slavery is fun!
I didn’t say we weren’t fun, but fun or not, slaveowners are still the baddies. I just can not think of anything good about a jewel.
