If you polled the British people with the question "What harm have the Royal Family done to you personally?", there may not be too many with a true answer. Now ask the same question about convicts. There'll be many more personally affected by them. Victims of burglary, muggers, murderers, druggies, rapists, twoccers. But of course they are all poor and hopeless, so completely blameless in your eyes.

I wonder why all the poor and hopeless, as you put it, don't resort to crime?

Is this thread about convicts? Or is it about the royals? You keep bringing convicts into it.

Are you a prison guard? Because if you're not, you probably should be. In Botany bay in the 1790s.

Where the did the comparison between the royals and rapists come from? How the is that relevant in any way to what is being discussed here?

If you dislike the royals, you support rapists? Is that the way this is going?

While we are at it. Why don't we excuse tax dodgers because of peadophiles?

Oh wait. That makes no ****ing sense whatsoever.
 
Meghan was painted as a gold digger only after Harry because he was a prince, despite the fact a mutual friend sent them up.

Kate on the other hand openly admitted she chose the university she did because William attended that university. She openly spoke about how she wanted to be with the prince.

Meghan was chastised and pretty much branded a whore by the media because she has done scenes in underwear.

Kate was celebrated and it was branded the ‘moment’ William noticed her when she wore a sheer dress with underwear on a catwalk.

Meghan was chastised and shamed for being of common blood.

Kate was celebrated as a commoner a true Cinderella story, Kate who is a multimillionaire’s daughter who was afforded every luxury in life.

Meghan was shamed for wearing designer clothing with a high price tag.

Kate is praised as a style icon whilst wearing designer clothing with a high price tag.

Only by a handful of mentalists, that's life I'm afraid ....

... I've been shouted at by people on the last bus.

You blamed the Royal Family for the state of this country, even though it's Parliament that makes the laws. You resent paying for them, which is your prerogative.

I pointed out that criminals by comparison cost the country a lot more. You then went on the defensive, saying they were blameless because they were 'poor and hopeless'. That's not a valid argument for how much they cost this country.
 
It's really bad taste, tactless pair of pathetic, hypocritical twats. I have no allegiance to the Royals or any of that , but haway. They're a bunch of old crusties.

My wife, who ain't British, completely slated her when she saw the interview. She has no time for blame-shifting, attention-seeking, shysters.

"Hi Gran, sorry to hear about Gramps. Errr no, can't come back for the funeral, another Netflix episode to film, no rest is there ....

... we've sent some flowers and a Moonpig card though so no harm done, take it easy Gran."

That's not strictly true.

I slated the royals for being ****s.

Your started taking about convicts.

I said I would blame the desperate for the way the world is and I'd rather put blame at the door of the head of the state.

I started off strictly calling them out as an outdated and inhuman institution. The whole. "The criminal underclass are to blame" is what started what you are telling me I started.

If it helps. I also think parliament are a bunch of leaches too.

I don't like rapists. I don't like murderers. Or any of the other horrible people you have listed.

Doesn't change the fact that I think the royal family are outdated and inhuman.

You, like everyone, are entitled to your opinion, so am I. I am neither for or against the Royal Family, although I am against the House of Lords - and criminals, of course!

Your view that the Royal Family is an outdated institution is one adopted by a lot of people, and I don't have a problem with that, but there's many other parts of society that cost this country much more than the Royal Family, so I don't agree with using cost as a stick to beat them with.
 
When you get a good ginger, they are hard to beat.

True story.

I thought that was an unspoken thing. That way we keep their confidence in a place where they will accept the likes of you and I.

You are spokening the **** out of it man. No good gingers for us.

Agreed. I would rather beat them with the fact that are substandard humans and an absolute embarrassment.
