The British Monarchy

Its not just the monarchy that I would like to see disbanded , but the whole class system.

There's the rub for me.
They are the face of the class system with their ill gotten gains.
These people are the epitome of a dreadful archaic system that undermines democracy & the proper recognition of merit, skill and achievement. It's only purpose being the continuation of vast hereditary privilege and gross inequality in Britain.
The indoctrinated need to wake up.

Renault should do an epilogue ad where Bob has taught Nicole how to fish and they are happily enjoying their dotage on the river...until Vic appears in a submersible.

I've seen a 2 second clip of Charles getting angry over an inkwell.

I've now decided Britain should no longer have a monarchy.

So a senior manager gets annoyed about an employee not doing their job properly and you think the whole institution should be abolished?

Lucky the NHS isn’t rife with bullying else you might advocate shutting it down or at the very least you’d avoid your local hospital if you got seriously ill in protest. Unless, of course, you have double standards I suppose.

Or an atheist. Or an atheist republican.

Ayway just spoke to my mum on the phone. She answered with "I'm on my fifth one, now"

Fifth what?

"Monarch!"

That makes her at least 86 years old. Being a toddler, I am only on my third.
 
To be honest I am not bothered one way or another what happens to the Royal Family. I will say this though, that the Queen was a model of decency. More so than other members of her family. Some of the comments on this forum are best reserved for the politics sub-forum. The one thing that perplexes me is the notion that the Royal Family bring more through tourism etc. than they receive. I used to live in Kent. Two castles, Leeds and Hever, were once Royal castles and the tourists still flock there. I am not sure if the Royal Family disaappeared that suddenly tourism would stop. In truth I believe this is the end of an era. Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Commonwealth will collapse in due course. England will survive and prosper. Probably stuck with the Welsh !!
 
A week ago I'd have voted Indifferent, but this past 5 days has turned me against the idea

Pleasantly surprised to see how many others are against it, too

Just out of interest, would people have this view if we were actually allowed to know her opinions?

what if she was a Boris loving pro Brexit covid denier kind of lady?

the reason everyone loves her is because she stayed neutral on all matters
