Out pf control burning of moorland for partridge shooting. The killing of apex birds to protect said partridge and pheasant stocks for shooting. The list goes on.

If you travel to Arab monarchies, all of them have picture of themselves on the notes and I always found it weird, self-possessed narcissists - when their rule fall, all the notes gets changed.

If I ruled over a country, I would never have picture of myself, I would honor revolutionaries from around the world, to inspire my people to the blood and thought of revolution, this way, if an invader enters, they know their duty.

Prince Andrew can be technically considered for printing on the notes as a wild pedo-monkey.
