AJ sheffield Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The brilliant education that you received is perhaps one of them? Are you being condescending ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well it is a tad strange that a bunch of people in Australia welcoming a leading member of a historically inbred dynasty born into privilege about which you can only dream is one of the things that makes you proud to be British. But whatever gets your nipples tingling. Indeed. How can anyone be proud about something that was an accident of birth? One has no say in it. Be proud of your achievements in this life but not of where you happened to take your first breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You had your chance to get rid of them for good and blew it but that was understandable since that miserable old git Cromwell turned England into such a sad and dull place that when he popped his clogs the people couldn't wait to get Charles the 2nd back on the throne and let the good times and fun start rolling again. Maypole dancing on Sundays. singing allowed, willing wenches with low cut gowns serving good ale and the wooden stocks chopped up for firewood. The only downside was that some of those miserable old Puritan gits settled over here and started to burn young girls at the stake to get their jollies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiphany Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 there here to stay,so get over it. It's not a matter of me "getting over it". I just question why an institution (if you can call it that) that is actually quite disconnected from the real struggle and triumphs of the people of our nation is part of your pride as a Brit. The Royals' allegience is not necessarily of national significance anyway, like any dynasty. We don't know their interests, thanks partly to the protections of the Bank of England Nominees Ltd. But I suppose none of this matters, as long as a Union Jack flies over Buckingham bloody Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742Sheff Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The so called "Royal Family" are a complete waste of space. God, an old lady wearing stupid hats and Phil the greek looking dazed and confused touring warm countries in UK winter time. Ann, Eddie, Andy, Charlie, none of them have ever held down a "real" job in their usleless lives. This country needs to ditch this filthy rich family and all the spongers and move on ! Yeah, that's right. Ditch them and the millions they bring in. Ditch the millions they pay in tax as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 when [Cromwell] popped his clogs the people couldn't wait to get Charles the 2nd back on the throne and let the good times and fun start rolling again. The only downside being The House of Stuart was still mostly Catholic, and married/descended/linked & indebted to the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
