The British Monarchy

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

There isn't any Greek heritage.

The Greek royal family were Germans who were chosen to take the throne.

Really? I guess you had better alter his wiki entry and delete things like where he was born, who his parents were and who his eldest son is

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Yes, that confirms what I've just said.

It's Germans all the way down.

Phillip was born in Cyprus though wasn't he?

Corfu. Seems pretty Greek to me.

Think this institution is probably done in its current form, as I suspected might be the case after QE2 died; and it’s probably for the best.

Don't make racist comments about unborn babies and you won't get named and shamed further down the line. Simples.

Quite remarkable how people happily accept the word of a pair of proven, pathological liars who’ve already changed their story umpteen times.

Meanwhile, of course, Prince William is a beacon of moral perfection to guide us all. While his missus is a sort of mix of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Princess Diana.

They expect us to swallow this shite, but some of us know propaganda when we see it.

What if you think they’re all cunts?

At least that would be consistent, the constant faux fawning over a couple of grifters is embarrassing though.

If it's the system you dislike then you should dislike both the entitlement of the royals, all of them not selected ones.

Then the veracity of the story becomes irrelevant doesn’t it, because you’d already have an entrenched hatred of the royals, and the story itself is just a conduit to express that.

All you’d be doing is embarrassing yourself and displaying a lack of intelligence by lending credence to a pair of obvious bullshitters.

How would I be lending credence to a pair of obvious bulshitters when I’ve just called them cunts?

Propaganda is all it is; nail firmly on the head. They're lawless layabouts who get a free pass from thick-as-pig-shit peasants because they dress up and perform public pantomime a few times a year. It's mass indoctrination and thank fuck I was born with enough grey matter to obviate it.

It's nice to see them happy even though they haven't got ten houses to rub together :)

He wasn’t brought up to be a brickie was he so he’s going to use whatever else he’s got going his name and Diana. I’d do the same if I was royal :)
