The British Monarchy

[Bluesince1979]

Yep I voted indifferent, I respected the Queen and her role so didn't mind the Monarchy with her in charge, she was the best diplomat we had and was respected around the world.

I don't give a fuck about the rest of them if people want to act like peasants from the 10th century saying long live the king then be my guest but I won't.

Be nice if they put Andrews head on a spike on London Bridge though.

I dont think you could be less ‘indifferent’ if you tried ;)

I think those on the far left will think it’s more right wing and those on the far right will think it’s more left wing.

I’ve never spotted a red flag in the background of his videos, but I may have missed it.

It's definitely true that getting rid of your Royals ruins tourism.

Just ask the French.

It's impossible to ever know.

Buckingham Palace will be one of the most visited places in Europe but there will be no official figures because it's free to look at as you can't go in like you can at Versailles.

Versailles gets around 10m visitors per year but they are all ticketed. I would imagine a guess that at least double visit Buckingham Palace and not just because it's free but because it's the official residence of the Queen (or now King)

Versailles became a museum nearly 200 years ago.

It's akin to Anfield becoming a museum, it would get visitors but not as many as it does with the current occupants there.

That makes her at least 86 years old. Being a toddler, I am only on my third.

Yes, born in '35 and George V died in '36.

Given how often you edit your posts whilst people are trying to quote it can be difficult to follow

And you still fuck it up with everyone else’s posts too!

Why? I don't know what to replace them with so they can carry on as they please until a better alternative comes up, I like the military tattoo parades but cba with the all them inbred Germans now her Majesty has left the building, turning the institution into Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Fair enough. It should probably have given the option NOT SURE. As indifferent implies not caring either way.

Just out of interest, what is this class system and how would one go about disbanding it? I had always thought it was something perceived/intangible rather than an actual physical thing that could be disbanded.

Would you say that the amount of PMs that went to Eaton demonstrates a class system?
A very large percentage of PMs have zero clue about the life many of us live

Genuinely insane behaviour. Add to that all the cancelled hospital appointments too. Fucking nuts this country.

The press don’t half fool people.

If you were due to have a life saving triple heart bypass operation on Monday, you’ll still be having it! They just use photos of surgeons in the middle of an operation next to that headline to get people overexcited.

It’ll be people like Dave from Withington who was going to have a check-up because he’s got crabs and the crab consultant has got the day off, that’ll be cancelled.
