In contrast to increasingly partisan politicians, King Charles embodies a non-political leadership that unites the nation and highlights the contributions of ordinary citizens.
With a solid mainstream media still in place, the UK is better positioned to navigate challenges than other countries facing media fragmentation. The monarchy and a quality press are essential institutions that help maintain trust and cohesion in society during turbulent times.

Forbes: U.S. Mass Shootings And Gun Deaths Fell To Lowest Level In Five Years In 2024
In 2023, the U.S. is on track to record the fewest mass shootings and gun deaths since 2019, with 491 mass shootings and 500 fatalities reported as of December 18. This marks a 25% decline in mass shootings from the previous year and a significant drop in overall gun violence.
The decrease in mass shootings coincides with a broader decline in violent crime, including an 11% drop in murder rates. Experts attribute this trend to improved policing and funding for community programs aimed at reducing gun violence. However, predicting future trends remains uncertain.
