Do you think the Great British public would vote for the abolishment of the monarchy...the public who were so conned by the ruling classes and who loved Boris only 2 years ago. Who queued 20 deep on the pavements in london yesterday. Who are throwing parties all over the country today Do you all think honestly...that the Royal family would just go. I think you lot are in cloud cuckoo land ..And I am really not even thinking what the royal family would do here. There would be a general uprising amongst the royalist masses...who exist in all levels of society.. The armed forces, every one who has sworn an oath of allegence to the Queen/King.. It is not want I want...(I have told you what I would like to happen)... it is what would happen. If the monarchy goes in my children's lifetime it will by bloody revolution. I hope that will not happen I still hope what will happen is a diminishing of size, and wealth gradually by generation, until they are just are a head of state that works hard working as a Head of state

Spot on Beth. Thankfully the Republicans on here are in the minority. All those people at the coronation and all those street parties show that the Monarchy will continue. I agree that the Royal family should be slimmed down and I think we're seeing that already.
There’ll always be a Royal family. I’m optimistic this serfish devotion to people who don’t give a **** about us won’t be a thing in thirty years though.
The Princes Trust doesn't give a **** about people? A lifetime of service from Queen Elizabeth 2nd didn't give a ****? Charles, ahead of his time, campaigning for over 30 years concerned about climate change didn't give a ****? I await the immature response.
I read somewhere that the Royal's bring in billions more than they cost Keep them while that continues
Not like she had a choice. This country is ****ed. He didn’t need to have a coronation at such cost at our expense at a time like this. He could have gained some incredible PR by laying out for it himself but chose a lavish ceremony five times the cost of his mum’s in real terms. He could have paid some inheritance tax.
Windsor is the top visitor attraction in the country, probably because the Queen croaked. Buckingham Palace isn’t in the top ten visitor attractions in the country. It would still be there if they all disappeared tomorrow. There’s loads of better stuff to see and do in London alone. I’m not against there being a RF even for all its nonce-defending and hounding out of evil Meghan. I’m against being pissed on and told it’s raining.
Labour’s response to this in general has been incredibly disappointing. If we had something like PR (which, disappointingly, they also oppose) I’d vote LD or Green. They’re still infinitely better than the alternative despite their many faults.
You don’t think we are grown up enough to chose a ceremonial head of state based on competence rather than birth? Nah, just turn the money off. Perhaps you could get your hip fixed with the savings. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to doff your cap to your betters for the rest of your days, they ain’t leaving tomorrow.
Some interesting figures in here, by age, region, ethnicity etc. https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/mcn5c6fr93/BBCPanorama_RoyalFamily_230417_w.pdf Bottom of page 3. 58% of British are not interested in the Royal family, rising to 70% for the under 50s. It’ll die of apathy.
