The Queen's Jubilee

[Beef Oven]

The Monarchy have NOTHING to do with 99.9 % of peoples lives.

On the recent "love me love me" tour they did, they visited Salisbury.
In the 3 hours they were here, they spent about 90 mins lunching at a military museum. About 30 minutes driving around. About 30 minutes looking at a "medieval" show thing ,(presumably to rekindle memories of their beloved feudal system) which had taken hundreds of people thousands of man hours to prepare, she unveilied a plaque in he own honour, and then they left.
What a joke.
If we really choose these people to "reign over us" perhaps we deserve what we get. Beats me.

Yep, but just think ... around 80% of the population obviously don't understand how anyone could possibly think like you do, team ... I bet it beats them as well.

It's often termed ... . THE WILL/POWER OF THE PEOPLE ... in my naivety, I've always thought that is the literal meaning of 'republicanism' ... ?

Trouble is, we're not allowed to choose If we had a proper referendum, with a proper debate & limits on spending, so that the 'monarchy party' supporters (who will, no doubt, be mega-rich) can't skew the campaign (unlike the AV referendum) then at least there would be an opportunity to choose (even if the result wasn't to my liking).

I wouldn't shout about being a 'Southampton Boy', to a lot of people that's a substitute term for rent boy

And don't pretend that you don't know what a dresser is!

People who use the term are very welcome to discuss its merits at the first home game of next season !!

Fair cop on the dresser though. No catching you out tonight !!

Yes, that is true, MR GG, the 'people' can be philistines as well as right idiots can't they? ... many republicans often tell me that ...

Are you seriously suggesting that some unpopular republicam idiot should be imposed on the people against their overwhelming wish for an adored royal idiot ... ?
