Guy Stair Sainty, Republican advocate

The entire world has been reporting on the Queen’s death, with users online reacting with everything from condolences to calls for the end of the Commonwealth. Guy Stair Sainty has highlighted Britain’s colonial legacy, and questioned why republicanism is being so heavily policed.

Several of Sainty’s republican videos feature a speech given by the UK’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss, who said she wanted to abolish the monarchy as a young politician. 

Sainty is a supporter of Republic, a British press group campaigning to replace a hereditary monarchy with a republican constitution. The group has posted #NotMyKing with nearly all of its posts since the Queen died, and has driven a high number of mentions and picked up new followers too.
