The monarchy should have died with Queen Elizabeth

Just that really. She should have been the last monarch and we should be moving forward in a different way now.

Yawn.

You can tell me to fuck off, but the majority of young people agree with me. The future of this country belongs to the young. We should be able to have grown up conversations about important things we disagree on without resorting to insults @AlltheFs .

I absolutely agree.

mrssunshinexxx · 06/05/2023 14:30

@PupInAPram couldn't agree more

You are clearly on a par with Einstein

💯

What an absolute cringe fest 🤢

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 06/05/2023 14:42

Agree entirely. It's been an eye-opener though how mawkish so many posters are, without reason.

They're either fawning or commenting on what the women look like and the 'work' they've had done or should have had done. Ick.

So all the folk who support the Royal family have Einstein level IQs @CovertImage 🤔

Absolutely. They are vile specimens.

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 06/05/2023 14:48

Don't talk such nonsense OP.

Young people don't want the monarchy, have you watched the TV? The Mall is full of young people!

There was plenty of other threads already-yours adds absolutely nothing. Why start yet another one? You are just a fun sponge. Take you misery on to an existing royal bashing thread.

LlynTegid · 06/05/2023 15:09

I disagree, but your view is one I often heard from those advocating a republic, when the Queen was alive.

PupInAPram · 06/05/2023 15:10

@AlltheFs you do not decide what threads other people start. You do decide which threads you look at. You have an enormous choice of pro royalty threads if that's all you want to hear. Maybe just stick to those for the sake of your blood pressure.

Oh go away. Someone else you thinks it’s better to have President Boris, that royalty

i can tell you a president would loose no end of income for the country

the coronation will be bringing billions in

Or maybe you could just stop posting crap? Have a Pimms and a scone and enjoy the day like a normal person.

Tinkerbyebye · 06/05/2023 15:38

That’s 40% not the majority. 20% done even know what they want

“How do you see that working then OP? Day after the funeral they were all kicked out of their homes? In Asda for their shopping? OK then...”

When anyone else’s family die and they lived in a state funded home they also have to pack up, hand over the keys, get on with their lives and shop at Asda.. why shouldn’t the Royals do the same? The ‘homes’ (ahem palaces and mansions) should be handed over and the public can pay to view and that’s how they’re funded to be taken care of for historical purposes but not for this family to live in. It’s bizarre we still have them.

They could be given accommodation more suited to their needs I could just see C Charles and Camilla ,shuffling around a little retirement bungalow 😂

Toomanylatenightprogs · 06/05/2023 15:48

I was thinking today it should have died out in 1952/53, they’re really not needed

thecatsthecats · 06/05/2023 16:07

I disagree, because this electorate and this government especially can neither of them be trusted with a transition of power.

Exchanging one set of bastards for another is a waste of time.

PupInAPram · 06/05/2023 16:18

Charles is now worth the best part of 2 billion. I'm sure he'll scrape by without his civil list cash. Your taxes pay for the civil list.

Would have been a good point to bring about a change...

MeinKraft · 06/05/2023 17:24

People are young now don't want the monarchy, but those same people may change their mind as they grow older. I'm sure when I was 16-24 I didn't want a monarch either, it's only as I've grown into an adult I've realised how important it is for the British collective identity to have the monarch as the head of state, and how much that means for many people.

BMW6 · 06/05/2023 17:37

No thanks, I'd rather keep our Monarchy

Have you ever thought that actually they may not. Or that with the benefit of time those that support the monarchy might recognise the superfluousness and utter waste of the British monarchy?

Zipps · 07/05/2023 10:10

Agree. Anyone with a brain can see the pomp and ceremony is a charade for who they really are.
