Idiotic post.
This is an open forum where posters are free to air and express their opinions. THAT'S THEIR OPINIONS. If you are unable to accept opinions other than yours then I suggest you either, a) shut up, or b) ply your nonsense elsewhere.
Oh, and I don't " think " I'm better than " you, I know it. How do I know it, well I don't get all hysterical and cry like a baby when someone posts an alternative view to mine.
Grow up, or shut up.
I thought that Mono did express his opinion - an opinion to which he is entitled, as you yourself proclaim above …. Yet you call his post ‘idiotic’
Your post seems to confirm and underscore the points that Mono was making.
Anyway, I respect your right to have an opinion, even if I may not always concur.
My position on the Royal Family? I am not an ardent Monarchist.
However, I recognise what she and her parents did during WW2 - they did not scuttle off to the safety of Canada, but stayed in the UK despite the (early) ominous threat of invasion.
My grandparents and parents’ generation recognised that decision and how easy it would have been to run away, so to speak.
Indeed, after the disastrous Edward VIII that could have been the end of the Monarchy - but they brought stability and consistency.
She was thrust into the throne at an early age - she didn’t have the opportunity, like so many of us, to enjoy our youth - there were constraints.
Personally, I would far rather a Monarchy than a Dictatorship.
A President or a PM? In some respects not much difference, as you can vote them out (or they are time barred)
