seriously they've found huge gangs of child molesters in like 10 different major cities there over the past few years and apparently the authorities pretty much ignore them until it makes the news


what the gently caress, england? a pretty basic part of governance is "keep people from loving the kids" and you failed, and continue to fail, at this
All the people doing the governance are pedophiles. They're not really failing, they just have different priorities.

no he didnt even think hed get to be boss which is the number one defining feature of a monarch
Not really. The former king of Britain only got to be boss because his brother did the unthinkable and married an American, and of course there's a long tradition of elected monarchs, of which I doubt all of them assumed they'd be elected until they were.

a divorced Catholic American

the American part wasn't the sticking point
Being American was clearly the proximate cause for the whole debacle, as any other Anglophone would have been too respectful of the British monarchy to attempt to become a twice-divorced Catholic queen.

also he was kind of a fascist sympathizer so it's just as well they didn't crown his rear end
Not disagreeing on that point. Wallis Simpson was one of the great American heroes of the interwar years.

your problem is assuming that pedophiles are more common among the rich and powerful, rather than that people pay attention when someone tries to out a famous pedophile

you prolly have like three pedophiles in your apartment building or w/e
The majority of the rich and powerful are pedophiles though. Are you saying the majority of people are pedophiles too?
