The British Monarchy

My money is on Eugenie kicking off after doing a load of shots, it's bound to be a free bar and a finger buffet with sausage on sticks and mini pork pies from Lidl. William and Harry will be doing that funeral classic of "love you, no Love you more" Charles will follow through after 12 pints of Bitter and Camila will fall over with her dress over head showing off her bloomers.

Just lmfao at the Charles comment :-)
 
I've never been a royalist, never paid attention to it at all to be honest. I just could never warm to fawning over people wearing expensive jewlerry, living in palaces and castles wearing archaic fancy dress while I grew up eating beans on toast.

That said, tradition and all that bollocks. I'd want it to remain just to piss off the cancel culture which has plagued the world the past 5-10 years.

I think if everyone was forced to vote, it would more likely be 75% for, 15% against and 10% don’t care either way, based on the reaction since the late Queen passed away.

You have to take into consideration that Republicans have been virtually shut out of any conversation during this wall to wall coverage of all things Royal. I will say as a Republican I have marvelled today at the pomp and pageantry we as a nation can produce, yet part of the symbolism comes from when we had an absolute monarchy and as a fervent democrat I can not justify our Parliamentary system having an unelected head of state who rules because its a sky fairies wish.

I hope over the next few years the Republican movement grows and the figures you suggest move in a different direction. Do not get me wrong here I wish King Charles all the best in his new role and I find it hard to not like the Royal Family and see no reason why the Royal family cannot continue being a Royal family, its the part they play in our democratic system that I am against.

It's a debate that needs to happen.

"There was a rainbow over Buckingham Palace and a rainbow over Windsor Castle. We will all be looking out for a rainbow today".

I think it's this sort of bullshit that annoys a lot of people.

It's just playing on the romance of magic thinking. Like all those lucky hats my mate wore to our games in the 90s.
