Yes with you, indeed I do. I’m allowed, it’s called a difference of opinion. In a democracy we value counter arguments and discussion, well that’s the concept. Put one’s opinion and win hearts and minds.
I’m not a Royalist. I can’t get my head around how normal humans, can be lauded and given privileges beyond other citizens because their ancestors were the best at war. The bloodline from Divine Right was fractured back in Tudor times and frankly, even had it not, I would question its veracity. The cost to our nation is not my main concern, but the self interest that the ‘deals’ they enjoy have been negotiated with and with it the preservation of their status and wealth, beyond all others. For this they do charity work, and play dress up with their expensive toys. All seems a bit weird to me, why do we value these people when o many others do good work without such advantage, and I’d like an alternative.
You haven’t really offered many counter positions except disagreeing and being rude. That too is your right, but doesn’t seem to add much.
I have nothing against these people personally, but the privilege is real, and I’m not a supporter. They have a great PR machine to maintain this good guy position. When things go wrong - Andrew is a handy example - they quickly close rank to protect themselves and I’m yet to be given any arguments that sway my view that they are simply rich privileged normal people that should be equalised to the position of the rest of us. They’d still be rich, and perhaps wouldn’t get booed in the street.
