That's the thing though,these poor kids are given flowers, flags, etc and are made to go cheer the scrounging old bastard, its a day off school most of the time, its just to show the world "oh look how many people have come to greet the queen" load of ****ing bollocks, get rid of the ****ing dolewoller and get some Romanians housed in the council house that is Buck palace
WTF did they expect? They're absolute nobodies. They should be grateful that our great Monarch didn't have them all executed. "Careful Sire, the peasants are revolting"
The will of the majority. Here's another thing that addresses one of your grievances, you are not a British Subject, you are a British Citizen, Maggie made it so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Nationality_Act_1981
Maybe we should have an "opt out" referendum. If you don't want to pay for the queen you don't have to
Good idea, those that opt out would get a tax rebate of £2 per year and the rest of us wouldn't have to listen to their moaning.
Those who continued to support the monarchy would have to make up the shortfall, could be expensive if lots of people opted out.
The Monarchy and especially the associated are a walking anachronism. There is no place in modern societ for these people when people are homeless and struggling to make ends meet. At least in the likes of Sweden and The Netherlands they keep a relatively low profile and do not leech like parasites off the proletariat. Get rid of now.
That is one of the few times I have been genuine on here. I don't mind the Queen personally but it is time for change.
There won't be - the monarchy would have to sleep on the streets and they're not going to share shop doorways with normal homeless people so they'd have to be summarily executed.
I'd actually be willing to retain the monarchy, or at least see the argument for retaining them, if they kept it low key and didn't insist on lording it all over us in gold coaches.
