Same era as you rousette
I never thought you’d hear me say abolish the monarchy..but over my almost seven decades we’ve seen nothing but scandal and bad behaviour from a family who should’ve been above reproach.
When did the rot begin to set in.
I don’t know..I might have got my chronology wrong..but I remember being astounded at
It’s a royal knock out...just what where they thinking?
Fergie almost racing up the aisle on a wedding day..practically giving the thumbs up sign as if to say...look at me...look at me now!
Then it just unravelled completely
Squidgygate
Charles The tampax king
And all the fallout that followed and the disastrous consequences
But if I’m honest there were indications before that.
My cousin was a political reporter on fleet st and he would go to a lot of parties involving all the big wigs and he often used to tell tales of Princess Margaret and her latest paramours. There were rumours of her and a certain pink panther. I remember being a bit.. no way.. at the time.
Weren’t these the people we were meant to look up to and since then as the fake facade has fallen away..we see that apart from their privilege of birth they are just the same as us with the same skeletons in the cupboard
I honestly can’t see how this archaic institution can survive.
They can no longer be held over us and no longer should we be expected to bow and scrape.
Maybe if we were all living in the lap of luxury, we’d be quite happy to have them wheeled out as a relic of a time gone by..a bit like the museum at Beamish..or the cobbled street in the york museum but after the years we’ve had of austerity, people dying in corridors in our hospitals as these no beds,
people being passed as fit for work and dying just weeks or months after their asses ent
The food banks, the people living on the streets
Parents who hardly see each other because they are working all the hours god sends to keep a roof over their children’s heads and food on the table
Mothers who actually want to stay at home and look after her children but don’t have that choice
People on good salaries but never able to see themselves getting on the
Property ladder..and everyone just two pay checks away from destitution
Has made the scales drop from our eyes. We want better value for our hard earned tax money ...and they just aren’t fit for purpose.
They have been judged and found wanting and the queen can do as much fire fighting as she likes..the public have spoken.
