The British Monarchy

[Blue and true]

This thread is a revealing one - some pretty shameful remarks

RIP Roger Scruton (1944-2020) - The Oldie

The funeral of philosopher Roger Scruton was held today in Wiltshire. Mark Lees was there

What's shameful is having no qualms whatsoever about an unelected head of state charging public bodies to use land his ancestors stole, whilst also turning a bling eye to them living their life of luxury on the taxes of working people. That's what's shameful. It's also very revealing.

It’s true though. You look at Scruton’s life and musings and they align with yours. You even quote him to promote your feelings.

He wrote anti gay and anti female stuff. It’s categorical really.

If he wrote misogynistic stuff then fuck him. Misogyny is lowest of the low.

It’s basic traditional conservative stuff, opining for attitudes from ages past.
He was part funded by big tobacco too, which made him dying from lung cancer ironic.

Time moves on. He didn’t.

You know nothing about me except that I agree with Scruton's analysis of European political events. He was an honest, very clever and honourable man and neither anti gay nor anti female.

You inhabit the same level of dark ignorance as the poster above - enjoy each other's company.

One can only respond to how you portray yourself on here.

You’re a fossil, just like Scruton, given your words on here.

Fortunately, the world has moved on.

Dark ignorance. That's a good one. What's revealing is that you haven't had a single thing to say about the revelations from the dispatches program or my overriding point; just waffling on incoherently about how the powerless need monarchies.

I've encountered your type on here before so have a nice life, I won't be indulging you further.

Some of us on this forum can only hope you will do the same.

Indeed. We don’t always get what we want though. Enjoy your ever decreasing level of engagement with people as they roll their eyes and scroll past you.

Bye.

The alternative is worse...only if you allow it to be.

It looks like the monarchy has, once again, been called out, and I am pleased. Through much of my life they have managed to quash scrutiny through their special relationship with the press: a mutual, back-scratching convenience. I hope this ends, and not because I despise the monarchy, but because I despise people who take the piss out of those less fortunate, or who leech from the national purse. I couldn't give a toss if the person called out was a president or a king: it is the behaviour that needs to be beyond reproach. If you are a figurehead, act like one.

Delighted to hear it, I wouldn't want intrude on your happy state of blissful ignorance any further.
