Most people will rant away and be against the monarchy but I've been watching a TV show called The Crown so have now decided that I like the Queen and would be happy to bang the actress who plays her in the show I mentioned. Anyone quite like the royals? Or are they deffo pointless? please log in to view this image
Let's not forget how their came to be a monarchy, they murdered innocents and their armies stole the lands and goods of others. We now live in a world where governments do that kind of stuff instead, so the Queen and her hangers on aren't needed anymore.
I'm self employed so it won't be any bonus for me, unless Charlie can bung me a few quid for loss of earnings.
If there wasn't a monarchy, there would need to be an elected head of state and judging from recent events that would probably be Nigel Farage. So lets keep the Queen ok?
The Fail and Excess would be apoplectic if we rid ourselves of the monarchy. They would print black-edged editions for years. Meltdown in Wapping
There'll be a week of wall to wall Royal programmes, and thousands of flag waving old biffs in tears.
I think the Royal family should be abolished in all but name. They should be stripped of their assets and constitutional powers and we should have a proper written constitution rather than a rule by monarch system. As FSG pointed out, they only amassed their wealth (and power) by killing and stealing it from the people of the land. They are little more than a tourist attraction these days, so they should be managed by a group like Merlin who run Thorpe Park etc. If people want to pay to go and see them swan around in fancy clobber, that's fine. But turn them into a private business rather than a taxpayer funded luxury. And then tax their owners profits like any other business. That way they will make a proper contribution to Britain
