Suffragette1 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The only thing I can think of is your signature Suffy, does sound a bit elitist:D I am an elitist republican. I am descended from French noble stock, apparently, many hundreds of years ago. Anyway, noblesse oblige and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 All I can see is " the dream team"...which, imo indicates "a gang" of some sort, as it does to others....just saying. A gang?! Pro-women/feminist posters = a gang now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubydazzler Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 What happened there, oh ....I expressed an opinion....how dare I........I also said that I may be wrong xxxThe Dream Team, seem to think it started as a joke a while ago, on a rare occasion when the component parts were all, for once, in agreement? As you can see, we're not joined at the hip, as Suffragette1 and I are arguing the two sides of the question, definitely not a gang. I was only hiding from the moderators, they're bound to come along and point us to the chatroom sooner or later. I'm not even particularly a monarchist, I just can't see any benefit of not having them around. I like a bit of national pride, spectacle and glitz and we'd probably not get any at all in this country, if we got rid of the Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Actually I didn't make myself clear..I didn't mean age as in years. She could be 22 but comes across mentally old. Knitted toilet dolly, chintz and all that stuff. I can see why she has the hots for me though...bless her. You've been wanting to get your own back on me since i "rattled your cage" on the God thread haven't you,well i think you've got your revenge. Actually you are two years out, i'm actually 24 now. I must say though the cardigan i'm knitting for you is coming on a treat,i'm sure you will be delighted with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 You have not upset me (again or otherwise) I am simply trying to understand why, as a 21st century developed democracy we should be fascinated by this Disneyesque fantasy.It doesn't seem quite rational I'm glad you said we! Whats irrational about it though? its just something we have always been good at in this Country,pomp and ceremony, pageants etc. You are British be proud, we are the envy of the world.Thats why they don't vote for us in the Eurovision contest,but who cares about that,they are envious of our culture and music they know we have better singers and rock bands.

The irrational part of it all was summed up by a comedian on channel 4 the other night. Something like "all this fuss and emotion for someone else's grandma who happens to be queen of England by accident of birth and couldn't care less if we lived or died, in poverty or not." I'm very proud to be British but the monarchy has nothing to do with why. The other irrational part of British monarchism is evident when people voting labour and subscribing to socialist views at the same being ardent monarchists. Socialism and monarchism are mutually exclusive beliefs yet they seem to exist side by side in Britain. To me that seems irrational and ironic.
