No they aren’t even though ARM thinks they are in the aftermath of the Andrew Mountbatten arrest saga.It is even saying so publicly in radio interviews. Maybe there’s some sort of a code that WfaAR is not privy to? What we are seeing in the UK is Republic! going from strength to strength with constant public presence around royal events and engagements – their megaphones and black and yellow Not My King banners are everywhere – significantly increased public support and a high profile, very effective media campaign. They are really building up momentum with their leaders consistently in the news. Republic! has been going since 1941, so long predates ARM, but never with so much attention as it has now.
