Plastic Paddy
I’m pulling your chain.I didn't claim to Irish so cannot be one ;-)
King billy was a **** who invaded England and staged a Coup, us peasants were treated no better to have him appear, and the poor Scots and Irish were unecessaraly murdered.
I genuinely cannot believe you can like Harry and not William.
The hate is just oozing out of this thread, I’m going to fuck it off soon and let you trots continue your picnic ;-)
Villa aren’t that bad. At least he didn’t do a Cameron and get them mixed up with West Ham!William supports villa so he can fuck off .
I don't see a lot of hate tbf, most have shown respect for the queen, but a distaste for the overall institution and it's need to be reformed and scaled down.
All the rest, guilotine jokes and panty fetishes is just messing about, one great that UK politics and political debate had in the past was the ability of self deprecation, it is the reason we can joke about the monarchy or PM or leader of the opposition.
Only few political figures have garneded true hate in this country and really only two or three truly disliked in my lifetime.
Thatch being one obviously.
I see no hatred Of Her madjesty Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, maybe of her dodgy kids like
The old woman survived working as a nurse during the blitz, i am sure she can survive some gentle ribbing from some lefties on an internet forum.William supports villa so he can fuck off .

There’s lots of bile on this forum, lots of people don’t like the UK or it’s institutions and just look at what Bluejon said.
You’re a reasonable fella but there’s many that aren’t and the bitterness is increasing on this forum.
Thankfully the public disagrees and are far more sensible than the cranks on here.
What was it Marx said about the Germans, if they were going to protest train prices, they would buy a ticket before they got on the platform?Believe I am not overly reasonable, just polite ;-)
Come the revolution there will be a bit of Yurovsky comimg out as I ride my BA-20 down whitehall
I went on a walking tour in Berlin a couple of years ago that was all about the 'German Revolution' i.e. the period at the end of the first world war when the Kaiser was deposed and it briefly looked like there might be a Bolshevik-style revolution in Germany too. The tour guide mentioned the quote you're referring to except it was from Lenin. What happened was Karl Liebknecht (German socialist) was released from prison in October 1918 and his supporters wanted to meet and cheer him at the train station. At first the police tried to stop the crowds but then they all just bought the cheapest ticket, which didn't get you on a train but allowed you to go on the platform. When Lenin heard the story he supposedly complained that Germans could never have a proper revolution because proper revolutionaries would have just ignored the police and stormed the platform.What was it Marx said about the Germans, if they were going to protest train prices, they would buy a ticket before they got on the platform?
We’re the same mate, we’re far more content sipping tea and having a whinge, rather than a revolution ;-)
