andygardener Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Brilliant incisive answer, one usually employed by a child . I will in fact live exactly where I wish, & as throughout my working life I have been responsible for contributing a substantial amount of tax to the UK I think I'll remain here for a while OK? That's fine. Whining about our head of state will not get you anywhere while ever you choose to live here though as you are in the minority by a factor of 3 so if it really bothers you, as opposed to something to whine about, then ryanair flights to el paradiso are less than £100. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Carol Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I don't know I haven't seen any candidates yet, and I'm not a socialist so your question wasn't for me.Oh yes you are Jimmy.........you can't hide from us in that closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The world's only necrocracy! Yet they call themselves a republic...would you rather have that or our monarchy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I realise that they are higher in the hierarchy of society so the answer to your question must be that they qualify for my respect. What exactly do you mean by being better. Well the duke of Cambridge can fly a seaking helicopter which I can't do, so he's better than me in that respect.

flamingjimmy Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yet they call themselves a republic...would you rather have that or our monarchy? I'm genuinely confused as to your line of questioning. Why am I choosing between our current system and North Korea exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I notice you didn't answer my question. Your question was stupid because it ignored our entire history. Like asking what if we were all Hindus since 434 and suddenly someone wanted to start eating cows. No correlation to British reality. I answered with the closest actual situation, we tried it and we did not like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Oh yes you are Jimmy.........you can't hide from us in that closet. We're going down this petty route are we? Alluding that we're evil reds because we don't celebrate the procreation of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Monarchy isn't patriotic. We threw out a British house and invited European princelings to fill the gap. It's certainly nothing to make Blighty proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Carol Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I don't know I haven't seen any candidates yet, and I'm not a socialist so your question wasn't for me. As much as I hate David Cameron right to his core I'd rather have President Dave than Queen Liz any day, yes. No more or less embarrassing than having him as Prime Minister. People are either Roundheads or Cavaliers! You Jimmy I suspect are a Roundhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 we tried it and we did not like it. Cromwell was a religious despot who tried to hand power to his son. I thought you'd celebrate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're asking us to choose between a republic and monarchy..I'm asking the same as you but using Korea as the republic..you seem to be under the impression that republics are the way to go so make your choice..
