Selfish or thick Krumbum?

Krumbum · 04/06/2012 21:41

Who?

Teaandcakeplease · 04/06/2012 21:41

That's what you said: "Your either selfish or thick (probably better to be thick though than a nasty person imo)"

yellowraincoat · 04/06/2012 21:43

Wow Krumbum, you can enjoy the monarchy without being a horrible person, you know. Personally I don't agree with them, but if other people do, that's fair enough. I imagine most people just enjoy the spectacle rather than actively support them.

QODSaveOurGraciousQueen · 04/06/2012 21:45

yes
no

Krumbum · 04/06/2012 21:46

Well it would depend on the reasons why someone was a royalist. If they are right wing and love elitism and nepotism or just blindly follow.

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 04/06/2012 21:46

Yes-ish
No

Yummymummyyobe1 · 04/06/2012 21:46

I don't think it's that black and white Krumbum

Krumbum · 04/06/2012 21:48

What other reason would there be for being a royalist?

yellowraincoat · 04/06/2012 21:52

Like I said, some people like the spectacle, some people enjoy having a tradition that links them to the past, some people just aren't arsed about politics, some people like that it makes our country a little different and brings in tourism.

You'd be hard-pushed to find a Tory in Scotland, yet I wouldn't say many people hate the monarchy. A lot are indifferent, some support them, some hate them.

Being a monarchist/not bothered isn't a right-wing thing.

I would happily lob their heads off at dawn, but I'm not bothered if others like them.

ChickenLickn · 04/06/2012 21:53

I like the queen and kate M as role models.

Haha.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 04/06/2012 21:54

Arf at you thinking your caused controversy Krum. Try a bit harder love.

Krumbum · 04/06/2012 21:55

All those reasons were covered in 'following blindly'; if you don't care about politics and like seeing pretty things regardless of what they represent.

Krumbum You're probably right, you're probably the only one who can see clearly.

Do you not have anything made in China or something, you know, something that represents the suffering of others? Or do you weave all of your own clothes from the cotton field in your back garden?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/06/2012 21:57

See Krumbum is still talking bollocks then.

Krumbum · 04/06/2012 21:59

Saggar what does that even mean? I don't think I've changed peoples lives but posters are talking about a comment I made. Was that meant to be a put down? It didn't even make any sense. Sorry I didn't meet your expectations. Could you post something that really does cause controversy on this mn thread please? I'd like to learn. It is important that I fuck with the minds of some strangers on a forum.

scottishmummy · 04/06/2012 21:59

it's English,not part of my national identity
you'll be very hard pushed find a scot who thinks royalty=national identity

yellowraincoat · 04/06/2012 22:01

Dunno scottishmummy have you been to Larkhall?

ChickenLickn · 04/06/2012 22:02

The Queen weaves all of her own clothes from the cotton field in her back garden, dontcha know.

scottishmummy · 04/06/2012 22:08

lol,that's one scary place
subway repainted a green sign.made the hard core a bit itchy.apparently

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 04/06/2012 22:09

It means that your attempt at controversy was a bit crap.

I have no expectations of you. Why would I Hmm ?
