You disagree?
I think you're trying to provoke the reactions you mention here. Most of the responses (certainly the recent ones) have been fairly level-headed.In 250 years time, I couldn't give a fuck marra.
It's just in my lifetime, to ensure this generation of self righteous, pontificating knowalls are proved wrong.
As is happening.
Now they can read this, and jump up and down, stamp their feet, have their tantrums, throw abuse at me, but they know that for the entirity of their lifetime, their will be a monarchy in this country.
That is precious.
So here comes the childish name calling and abuse, because they deep down know I'm correct![]()

Oh I see. I meant long term, it probably will be abolished. Yes probably not within 50 years or so
Mate, I'm not trying to provoke reactions.I think you're trying to provoke the reactions you mention here. Most of the responses (certainly the recent ones) have been fairly level-headed.
You're probably right that they'll survive for the foreseeable future but mainly through apathy amongst the public.
There will always be something more important.I think tbh we have bigger fish to fry than who sits in Buck House .
They have ZERO power and its kind of irrelevant.
I wish we didn't have to keep hearing about them - but hey if 60% of the population have playdough between their ears and actively seek that crapola out - not much I can do about it
Biggest imperatives atm are
1. Reading the last Rites to the Tory Party and producing a memorial to their shiteness with Johnsons face on it
2. Sorting out / reversing the Brexit MESS which is completely destabilising the country
3. Getting PR .... which will mean the 60% of quite bright people are no longer dictated to by the minority of utter Dullards
I’m talking long term like 250+ years. Ultimately the monarchy probably will be abolished is what im saying. I hadn’t thought of it in those terms until this threadDon't be too sure, the current over 65s there is 70% support, in the current 21-30 yr olds, the support is at 20%. There is going to have to be an awful lot of current 20-30 yr olds are going to have to go on a journey so that 70% of them support the monarchy by the time they are in their late 60's
It's not though in reality.Mate, I'm not trying to provoke reactions.
And you're right, most responses have been fair.
But there is a constant chip, chip, chip from people who just refuse to understand, that the majority of people in this country disagree with them.
And you then go on to explain it away with "apathy"
It's not apathy marra, it is support.

Fair point. People in favour of the monarchy seem to be more actively supportive. By apathy, I meant there is a fairly large chunk of people who aren't really interested but wouldn't actively campaign against the monarchy and they'll probably make up an increasing percentage but that's just my opinion. I have no idea how accurate a reflection these polls are.Mate, I'm not trying to provoke reactions.

Bob.It's not though in reality.
Vast majority don't really care. It's very few who actively support but if the others were questioned on it would err on the side of keeping things as they are.
I know very few who really support them. Mostly old people and.... Oh I won't offend you.
Mate, my self awareness is what makes me care not a jot what you or anyone may think of my opinions on such matters. Yours, or anyones approval is not something I either seek, or need.I couldn't really give a fuck. I'm not a supporter of the monarchy as an institution as it doesn't make logical sense to me, but I respect the right of others to support them.
Your lack of self awareness is embarrassing.
I think you are probably right on that marra, however, the large chunk you speak of, is not as large in other parts of the country mate.Fair point. People in favour of the monarchy seem to be more actively supportive.

I think I'll bookmark it in case I ever need a definition of 'triggered'.State of this man
Paragraph 1==Considered and thought throughImo most people are totally apathetic to them and don’t give a seconds thought day to day unless there’s a queens speech/wedding funeral or one of Andrews infamous interviews.
It makes no logical sense in this century to massively favour a family firm financially and put them on a pedestal when everyone knows they are simply human beings and not in any way superior or higher evolved intellectually but until there’s a movement and big will to remove them they will float along oblivious to real life for the majority.
One thing I don’t doubt is if this country was ever to suffer a land invasion they would be away to a neutral country in a shot and/or making a deal with the invading country to ensure they survived and continue to live the high life.![]()
The current “King” has had sight of loads of regulation before any MP and has successfully lobbied to change them to his benefit - see leasehold law as an example. Nobody else has that right.I think tbh we have bigger fish to fry than who sits in Buck House .

A bit ironic, don't you think?In 250 years time, I couldn't give a fuck marra.
It's just in my lifetime, to ensure this generation of self righteous, pontificating knowalls are proved wrong.

I don't think I'm including you in what I'm about to say, as you come across as very fair and considered in your post.A bit ironic, don't you think?
I'm against the monarchy, but I wouldn't call anyone names for supporting it. We just disagree. I hope it won't be around forever, but I recognise it's still there for the time being.
Edit: just noticed your avatar. Seems pretty likely you'd be a monarchist if you were in the Navy.
And then what? Get them to paint it?Put the lot of them including the landed gentry up against a wall.
