Let's discuss the Monarchy


I'll be honest, I don't want a King or Queen. I don’t want to fund it and would rather see me taxes go elsewhere. I can't get my head around why have people living in poverty despite being one of the richest nations in the world, yet these privileged people become instant millionaires because they were related to William the Conquer. However, I would never dance on the grave of someone who has carried out the duty and service that was given to them without asking and I have a lot of respectfor the Queen as a person. I haven't commented anywhere else and won't say anything else publicly out of respect.
 
They deserve to be told imo.
Lots of humans in the UK go insane when it comes to this monarchy lark. They really do.

Good post. Agree with that tbf.👍
 
I certainly was and enlightened not embittered.

Perhaps if those in the military did some reading up instead of just being indoctrinated they might fond out the family you are weeping and waling about sent many young lads and lasses to unnecessary deaths with secrets given to the Nazis. Of course we will never find out the truth because all these documents keep getting their release dates put back.

Mourn if you wish but dont get nasty to those who do not share your level of grief. We do not live in North Korea.
The Monarchy provides a good fig leaf for the political classes.
Orders issued in the Monarchs name, wars declared, rebellions broadly put down.

But the Monarch has no real power to stop any of that. Can you imagine if she'd told Blair the troops weren't going to Iraq, there would have been hell on.
 
That's the Irish for you
Weird they hate someone that isn’t connected to them anyway.

You're both well out of line here. Don't judge an entire nation by one twitter tag ffs.

Why don't you look up the very respectful coverage across all the major Irish media, the Irish Times, Irish Independent, RTE.ie etc rather than looking at the comments of a few online clowns? The Queen was very well respected here, particularly after her visit to the Republic.

Fair point.
It was a knee jerk reaction post

Apologies

The Queen was an amazing lady and she dedicated herself to our country.

However I despise the wider royal family and the whole idea that they are better than us and allowed to rule our country “because god said so”

I think the whole thing is an archaic medieval mess and should move with the times along with our entire political system.

What was 'amazing' about her?
 
A 96 year old lady who was a mother a grandmother and great grandmother has died. That’s sad in any circumstances and shouldn’t be disrespected.
The monarchy is a ridiculous out of date institution and we should take this opportunity to end it and stop all funding from tax payers. None of them will starve and we can move on to a more modern democracy and start to mend some of the divides in the UK.
