harvey19 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 1 hour ago, m williamson said: It is the institute that I object to. It is divisive, anachronistic and completely undemocratic. Divisive because it prevents anyone with actual integrity who believes in honouring any oath they take from taking part in a number of activities in this country. Unless you are prepared to swear an oath to the monarch you can not join the military or the police, become a magistrate, be employed in the judiciary or become an MP, among other things. Anachronistic in that it makes the country look like Ruritania and provides amusement to others in the same way that the Kardashians do. Undemocratic because the Head of State is decided by birth and the monarch interferes with government policy, despite that being denied. The Prime Minister is required to take the time to visit the monarch every week while parliament is in session in order for the monarch to ' advise ' the PM about policy. The monarch influences policy, that is totally undemocratic. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/07/revealed-queen-lobbied-for-change-in-law-to-hide-her-private-wealth https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/08/queen-power-british-law-queens-consent Incidentally I don't read the Guardian, but as it's the only paper which isn't apparently completely pro royal it's the one with the examples. Anyone wanting to disagree with these links attack the message not the messenger. Are they false? If so provide proof. Obviously we will not agree but after reading your views I still believe the Institution is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Is Charlie still planning to be "Defender of the Faiths?", as he stated years ago. Well my lot have a bloke in Rome who's already in the post thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately we live in a country - like the majority of countries these days - which does not as yet ban free speech, so we are both entitled to our opinion. Nothing will change in this country in the foreseeable future, so monarchists have absolutely nothing to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey, it's that evil rag, The Guardian's, biggest fan and supporter again. happy coronation Mr Bundy, we don't wish you any harm at all. I think they're going to put your taxes up to pay for it afterwards but I know you'll not mind so, all's well that ends well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
