Originally posted by ahinton View PostWell, doesn't that risk undermining your own argument here, if I may ask? Those social changes have indeed taken place during the Queen's reign but might not the fact that she nevertheless still is the Queen suggest that she and the institution itself are perhaps rather less incapable of going with the flow than some anti-monarchists might think that they are?
I think I'll defer commenting on that until we've had a minimum of 2 years of King Charles, or whatever he chooses to call himself, then we won't be so limited by the cult of personality
We'll just have to wait and see

The monarchy-democracy debate is complex. To me democracy is first about having a democratic voting system.

Originally posted by ahinton View PostNo need for you to be sorry, although there is for me to be sorry that you can't see the parallels of anti-social attitude, intransigence and inability to care about certain other people and their fate. I know that it was supposed to be a joke, but it rather backfired, I think, to the extent that it wasn't really funny at all. Were that barge to have gone down, quite a few people would have gone down with it, including all those working on it at the time. I don;t think that it's necessary to patronise you with words of one syllable but I should point out that the word "syllable" does have two "l"s...Last edited by Guest; 08-06-12, 12:55.
