The British Monarchy

[Brewster's millions]

Thank fuck there are people in the world like you.

It’s nice that you’ve got a new pen pal to share your glib views with.

Heart warming.

How do you know it's a minority view? I think most people think the royal family are scroungers and the whole system is outdated.

This isn't fucking Narnia mate, just because you believe it's true doesn't mean it is :)

Let's try to keep the petty digs at other posters out of the thread, please.

I don't think anyone uses photoshop to edit family photos.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I heard old Will has been playing away and she's getting the full Diana experience....

She best not go to Pari

Some people think that getting rid of the royal family would instantly solve all of their problems but it won't. For that you should be blaming the politicians that we elect and the political system.

Either way there isn't really any correlation between monarchies, republics and wellbeing. The best countries in the world to live in like Norway, Sweden or Denmark are all consitutional monarchies like our own. Having a royal family or not is clearly not a factor.

There is an argument on cost but I think it can be proven that the royal family brings in more to the UK than they take. I mean it isn't like we don't get decent value. The Queen was still working at 96 and Charles is still working with cancer at 75.

Nobody envies their goldfish bowl life either that's for sure. I'm not a royalist but I don't see why we should get rid of them unless this is yet another social justice type issue that must be put right for the sake of it...

When you say he's still working at 75.
It's not like he's a bricklayer.
He walks about and shakes people's hands

Hmm, little bit rich coming from the guy who believes we're all going to be trapped in 15 minute cities and any number of other right wing crackpot theories.

I don't believe in any conspiracy theories and I thought the 15 minute city idea was a big joke, slightly different from believing the monarchy should end because my 6th form mates want it to happen.

Only if he’s wearing gloves.

You forgot the black marker pen he runs through any legislation that might affect him.
