    Get rid of the monarchy and use their houses as homeless shelters.

    Use their cash and assets to fund the national debt.

    Used to be £100 a day just for rocking up and signing the register. I was in there one day watching the ****ers come in and **** off again. Brass necked ****ers.

    I think that has changed now but I am not sure to what.

    What would you change it to? The "go to" argument is always eminent professionals elected/nominated by their peers. I quite like that tbh.

    Agree, I cant see why the second "house" cant be elected like MPs and I like the idea of eminent professionals - business leaders, judges etc Not nominated by peers though, would lead to nepotism.

    I don't know how to guard against it other than to get the public to vote a couple of hundred times but I agree with the principle.

    Maybe they should hold a Tv show contest called King Factor , where anyone from anywhere in the World and what ever faith or sexual preference could compete to be KING OF ENGLAND?
    You would make a grand king Ciaran so you would:cheesy:

    I don't know what you can be basing your opinion on, so perhaps you consider any any individual who does not support the monarch to be a paranoid fantasist?

    I would normally ask you to explain your logic to me if had not already realised you are a complete and utter moron.

    Although this sounds like a quite ridiculous suggestion the amusing thing is it is a lot less ridiculous than having a hereditary Head of State - which is itself as ridiculous as having a hereditary CEO of Tesco, or a hereditary Brain Surgeon, or a hereditary Binman.

    We point our fingers and cringe at the Indians and their 'untouchable' caste who are reduced in effect to hereditary Binmen, and yet we see no problem having our own untouchable caste at the top of society.
