Letter to: HRH The Prince of Wales

24 September 2005

Sir,

In your speech at the Castle of Mey you made a plea for us to slow the pace of the Rat Race, which seems to increase all the time. It could be that this race is imposed upon us, and is not in our nature to run it at all. My patients seem to look forward to a holiday, when they can slow-down or stop.

The reason we have to race in order to stand still, is because we use credit as our currency and that makes fair trading impossible. We are forced into commercial warfare. That is a war in which there is no place for ethics or honesty and no respect for human life.

The way to allow everything to slow down is to restore to the Crown the sole right to create and issue new money. King William gave away that right in 1694 when the Tonnage Act gave birth to the Bank of England.

If you would be willing to restore that privilege to the Crown we could re-establish fair trading, to give us all a chance to work in step with Nature.

I have the honour to remain, Sir, your Royal Highness's most humble and obedient servant,

Doctor Edward C Hamlyn MBChB
