Scottish independence.

It is all socialist left-wing jealousy of an individual in a privileged position.
What is your view of people in anachronistic, unearned privileged positions?

The Monarchy as an institution is over 1200 years old and is part of our heritage.
You are part of their heritage since the ancestors stole everything.

Stonehenge and Dover Castle cost a lot to maintain but no-one calls for their demolition to save money or questions their value as heritage and tourism sites.
What? You mean we don't have to pay people to live in a place for it to be a tourist attraction?
They should be maintained in memory of all the poor sods who actually built them.

A living Monarchy 1200 years old with all its pomp and circumstance is as worth preserving as any other part of our heritage and as much a tourist attraction as any other we have.
Yes, let's all go on a march.
Perhaps you could be groom of the stool if you asked nicely.

Its estimated the monarchy costs us about £200 million per year and the monarchy in turn generates at least £500 million per year through tourism.
Only estimated? Does no one know?
What about all the other costs?
How on earth can anyone calculate what they generate?
Are all visitors asked whether they would have stayed home but for the royal family?

Would we get no tourism without them?

Does France have any tourists?


are you lot really that miserable and envious that you can’t see the benefit of a Royal Family?
No, common sense; unfortunately a rarity, especially in your part of the world.

There's nothing I like better than standing to the national anthem in a packed hall and some disloyal sod sitting contemptuously showing disrespect and then seeing him get the schitt kicked out of him outside afterwards.
:LOL: :LOL:
That's how it should be.

Good job you live where you do, then.
 
To the anti-royalists out there, wouldn't it be simpler to just p!ss off and live in France?
Otherwise, it's a bit like going to a steak house (when you don't like or want steak), and trying to make it into a vegetarian eaterie. And to hell with those who wanted the sirloin!
 
Yeah sod off over to froggie land. Or better still go to Syria.
The carpet bombing is about to begin. :LOL:

Alright, I'll apply to brain-washing classes and try and lose any independent thought, logic and sense.

Yeth thir, no thir, three bags full thir. Oh it's working.



Perhaps a 1200 year old steak house could be brought into the twenty-first century if I happened to be born in one.

What do you two think of the rest of the pyramid of privilege until it eventually reaches you at the bottom?
 
Too bad you're at the bottom. That's all that brainwashing you been absorbing.

It is what made / makes us STILL the envy of much of the world.
You can't buy history. Throw that away (cheaply), and become just another inconsequential spot on the globe.
I am not against modernisation, but I want that within the confines of a monarchy system.

There are plenty of republics out there - choose one 😊

You obviously don't get around very much...That very history means that the UK is treated with contempt/indifference in many places around the world!

More modern thinking countries aren't tied down so much by the baggage of elitism and they are the ones progressing as we slowly slide down virtually every 'world list' you care to mention...

You typify the kind of person who when asked to bend over merely asks how far and how deep? ;)

Meanwhile that elite are p*ssing themselves laughing at how easy it is to fool people like you with 'divide and rule'...

And no doubt it's why they are panicking about the possibility that the Scots may be just about to issue a challenge to their elitism!

Nearly all those republics were once monarchies of one sort or another...When the UK decides to enter the modern era, then we will kick out/marginalise the parasites as others have done!

Ahh - so it is all the elite's fault - try bettering yourself / taking responsibility for your own failings and shortcomings, instead of defaulting to "it's someone else's fault - I'm the victim here!" ;)

pmsl...

I'm not the 'victim', you are...

Simply because you see no problem in being shafted by those who proclaim themselves to be better than you because of a quirk of birth or hereditary influence...

As for that question 'how deep?'...

You appear to want them to shove it in to you 'all the way' with no objection! :LOL:

On the contrary, I believe we are highly regarded, and perhaps envied, by the world because of our history.

Unfortunately, today, we are derided and laughed at by the world for very different reasons: our ambassador football yobs, our weakness for wishing to give all we have to the undeserving (indigenous and foreign), our bending over backwards to Brussels bureaucrats, for example.

Typical ethnocentrics comment.

Perhaps you could delve into history and identify when our "highly regarded history" was not in conflict with another part of the world.

You clearly are very bitter and jealous, under that pseudo-intellectual cloak of socialism / marxism......

I work, I get paid (fairly, for what I do, I reckon), and I believe I benefit from living in a State with a monarch at its head.
What alternative reality do you live in, where you think shafting occurs on any regular basis (that you haven't asked for, or deserved)? PMSL...

There are plenty in this country who think they're better than me, none of whom have any birthright to back that up - in fact, they often seem to be the hand-wringing, condescending ones, who think they know better than everyone else. Are you one of them? ;)

I've got no particular view either way on kicking out the Monarchy, but if we did do that it wouldn't make the country any more equal. There will always be some people exploiting other people. Even if you took everything back to a truly equal basis (not possibly but let's say) it wouldn't be long before a Napoleon came along. And as for the Scots and the Monarchy - as far as I can tell they seem to like them more than most English people do.
