The British Monarchy

[BlueHammer85]

My mate is head of armed response at the airport and trained bodyguard, he was meant to go on holiday yesterday but didn’t go as he was asked to go and do security for the king of Kuwait
He wasn’t sure but I think the money involved helped his mrs in her decision lol


What this funeral must be costing is mind blowing

It's also generating millions though

think of the travel costs alone from tourism and people outside of London coming into the city to join the que

Oh I know I wasn’t moaning, just realising the size of the operation involved

A couple on my road arrange a macmillan coffee morning every year. A few neighbours sit on the street for an hour with a raffle and a little stall. Was arranged for this Sunday. They have cancelled it out of respect for the queen. Totally baffling. A small cancer charity event on a different day being cancelled.

That’s not the royals fault though, unless they’ve threatened beheadding.

Hello

Haha, I was gonna tag you in but thought he didn't look like Aguero. ;)

Wasn’t saying it was pal. Just that I found the decision baffling

People are afraid of cancel culture.

Mike they already got rid of the Royal yacht Britannia and the Royal train, she came back from Edinburgh on a C 14 troop carrier, this afternoon an ancient gun carriage[/ QUOTE]

They haven’t got rid of the Royal Train. It lives in Wolverton Works in Buckinghamshire and is used on average about 15 times a year. It’s actually a relatively cheap method of them travelling around Britain compared to the alternatives.

Plans were scrapped to use it to transport the Queen’s body back from Scotland for logistical and safety reasons. They had got as far as transforming one of the carriages in to a hearse type thing before the decision was made.

Apologies, I seem to have fucked the quoting thing up there. But I think it’s obvious which are my words so I won’t bother deleting it and starting again.

Glad to see sense returning and only just over 1/3rd wanting then abolished.

Conversely, I’m amazed that less than 50% want to have some Germans ruling over us, especially at a time where we’re being bombarded 24/7 with pro-monarchy propaganda.

I‘m not really that arsed either way but I think the pro-Charles the whatever fervour will subside dramatically when the propaganda diminishes and everyone remembers he was Jimmy Saville‘s best mate (and Rolf’s) and brother to one of Epstein’s clique who claims he can’t sweat and who recently forked out £12million to a girl he didn’t know and had never met to make a claim of sexual abuse of a minor go away.

Each to their own though.

"Just put the telly on, get a cup of tea, consume the propaganda, and fall in line like the rest of the countries drones. You miserable get."

 

[bluemc1]

Maybe they are off to the funeral?

Maybe who is ?

I haven't watched any of it, but obviously there are a lot of people watching it on here just to get angry and pissy about it.

All this whilst backing a losing Horse.

I was raised not to be a glory hunter mate ;)

And for what it's worth, I'm not watching any of it.

Haha I don’t do TV but my biscuit eating is phenomenal (I say while reaching for the Peek Freans chocolate assortment).
And I’m not miserable about it - what would be the point?

I’m just highly amused by the chest beating from those who fail to appreciate that this German / Greek conglomerate
- takes tax money from us (money taken from poor people that could, for instance, save the lives of good folk if put into the NHS).

- has the enshrined power to vet our laws before they are enacted so that they can insert clauses that exclude them from obeying said laws (and have done over 150 times during the last reign to excuse them of our laws in both their royal and private capacities - hence why they can be barbarically cruel to animals on their private estates, why they don’t follow employment laws or pay due taxes etc.) Yes they are and continuously act above the law.

- makes what we wrongly refer to as ’our’ police and ‘our’ armed forces swear allegiance to them personally, and not to the British people (yes, when push comes to shove our police forces are effectively a private police force for the royals and the armed forces that we pay for is in fact private army with it’s mission being their protection, not ours).

There’s nothing I can do about it except laugh at the perverse stupidity of it all - and anyhow, set against the context of us being so stupid that we‘re busy destroying our planet and wiping ourselves out, it just pales into insignificance . .

Must admit that I am a bit peeved that the football got cancelled though ;-)
