Sorry but why do we have a guy wrapped in furs and jewels stolen from other countries and gold draped about his person reading out our governments polices on a gold throne?
What is this but a class system designed to keep us as servants? It makes no sense at all anymore.
Which other countries do this? It's ridiculous, farcical and designed to manipulate. And he doesn't pay tax. He gets an allowance from us. And he has a private fortune of £400m? Does this make any sense at all?

It's more than tradition. It's designed. But I take your point.

Tradition is why. If you don’t like it, vote for a party that wants to abolish the Monarchy. Until then you’ll just have to get on with it really won’t you?

@Flyhigher Does this make any sense at all?

It doesn’t. And all this in the middle of a recession were people are struggling to put food on their table. How is this millionaire covered in fur and with a gold crown helping the country and helping us I have no clue. Someone please explain.

Yes! When you read it like that it just seems so absurd.

OurfriendsintheNE · 07/11/2023 19:07

You’re not wrong. Absolute nonsense

spidermonkeys · 07/11/2023 19:05

It's bizarre to watch isn't it.

It’s good that since the Queen’s death more & more people are now understanding the absurdity of the monarchy. She was the only monarch most of us had ever known, so she seemed a fixed & accepted part of British life, somehow beyond criticism.
Now, that unquestioned respect & permanence has gone and Charles just looks like a bloke dressed up in a ridiculous costume. Nobody really knew what the Queen thought about anything, yet everyone knows exactly what Charles thinks and many disagree with him. People who thought he was a prat before he became king, still think he’s a prat now.

The Crown is apparently worth £3 billion.
How many homeless can you put up for that?
Makes me feel sick.

Its totally and utterly appalling. That crown alone would probably be worth enough to build homes for the homeless. That family and the people who prop them up are an abomination.

justjeansandanicetop · 07/11/2023 18:25

Agree

lollipoprainbow · 07/11/2023 18:21

Agree. The sight of all the jewels and crowns etc sickened me especially with the current cost of living.

KitchenSinkLlama · 07/11/2023 18:18

It makes absolutely no sense at all.
