Blondie 1,392 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Get rid of the lot of em ! scroungers, hangers on, call em what you will. A life of luxury & waited on hand & fist. None of em ever done a decent days work either, so don't tell me Liz works hard, I don't call opening a local fete or charity shop hard work. Royalty is a luxury we can't afford. Do I detect a little jealousy here ? - If we did not have the Royals then we would be a Dictatorship State.........No freedom of speech allowed then, we would soon revert back to the dark ages............Keep them here.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Not jealous at all Blondie, I'm more than happy with my lot ! Don't we already live in a dictatorship state & have no freedom of speech here ? We aren't allowed to say what we wish without the PC brigade kicking & stamping their feet ! No I have absolutely nothing against royalty at all except to say, let them who want em pay fer em ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 106. We don't have the royals here in the good old USA. Though we do have some who whould like to be. We are not a dictator ship state, yet. There are also countries around the world that do have royalty and they are virtual dictatorships. Whether a country has a so called royal family is not the deciding factor in whether it is a dictatorship or not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm sure that the Queen has been loved and respected since her accession in 1952 after the death of her Father. Alongside her was Prince Phillip, an endearing sort of chap who has also been loved and respected despite always seeming to put his foot in his mouth, haha. They will be missed by most of the people when they are gone. Prince Charles will then become King and I'd assume they'd find a way to make Camilla the Queen. I don't think that Charles and Camilla will ever be popular with the people and you may see a decline in the people's wish for a Royal Family. Some people will be very happy about this and they are entitled to their opinion. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a republican with a small "R" it all depends what you replace them(the royals) with & you could end up with President Farage or Osborne.(god forbid) The only good thing would be you could vote them out of office after 4 or 5 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Watching the Chistmas day stroll around Sandringham by the Royals minus the poorly Queen on BBC News why did they blank out the number plate of the Range Rover that Phillip climbed into? It's not like we don't know where they live? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 #121  She does, indeed, Loppy. In the trade, she's known as 'one take Lizzie!' Gets it right first time. Don't think I'd want to be bothered at 90! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Not having a tv, Loppy, it's wasted on me!  Far more entertaining watching Bruno the ginger kitten playing with the wobbly mouse Dreamies dispenser! He's pretty good at it too!  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
