Will, George & Charlotte - Taylor Swift concert (photos)

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Looks like William took George and Charlotte to see Taylor Swift for his birthday. Looks like Taylor was just as happy to meet them as they were to meet her.

Every style of government is going to have wrong'uns at some point and corrupt individuals occasionally, even corrupt heads of state etc.

I’ve started at least one for discussing the options for head of state - changing completely or changing a little and it’s crickets compared to the engagement that happens on threads about the Wales or the Sussexes - those get derailed by haters and or republicans who want to try to end the system of constitutional monarchy by attacking individual royals.

WTF are you on about , "moral turpitude"!!?? That's frankly bonkers!

@Runnerinthenight It's a great phrase though, isn't it?

Mood hoover!!

I’ve bumped my old thread so discussion on the merits of a republic can be discussed there if wished.

In only got 62 posts the first time around.

Nope.

times and legal laws have changed since when Greece abolished their monarchy.

The Greek monarchy had been around for less than 150 years, compared to over 1500 years of English monarchy (if you count from Hengist), well over 1000 years if you count from the first Anglo-Saxon kings to claim to be kings of all the English.

But 631 votes!

William's dancing in the twitter video has me in absolute stitches, his dancing is so bad and quite camp 😝

Hahaha - that was very eye opening for me as a brand new pollster - no idea one person would try to sabotage a crappy internet vote!

This is a better closeup than I’ve seen and it has me cracking up!

Is he being silly? It’s fantastic!

Someone made a great video splicing Louis dancing at the jubilee concert in and you can see where Louis has learned his moves.

Found it

Two of the Biden German Shepherds bit Secret Service agents multiple times. One had to be rehomed. Waste of Secret Service time.

Melania Trump decided to revamp the Rose Garden. Every new administration decides to remodel the White House. How much wear and tear happens in four years? At least Charles knows how to garden and Catherine keeps bees.

And now we have to pay for the Hunter Biden investigation...

$$$$$!

I reckon the monarchy has saved us ‘the taxpayers’ millions- we’ve not had to elect a HoS every 4/5 years.

A coronation may boost the U.K. economy with bunting, plates etc. A HoS funeral to gather other HoSs to showcase the U.K. can’t be all bad.

As for the MET there were loads in London today as there was a climate March in Piccadilly- I got caught up in it as I was meeting friends.

Probably where my £1.75 or whatever has gone to. It sure as hell hasn’t gone to the NHS whatever that liar Johnson said. Yes I’m still bitter about Brexit.

If we couldn’t deal with leaving the EU when we had only been a member for a few decades imagine the costs and negotiations to become a republic. I’ll stick with a constitutional monarchy until a better solution presents itself.

And no that doesn’t necessarily make me a monarchist just a realist.

Catherine keeps bees.

so did the late Queen. It was reported that her chief beekeeper went to tell them she had died, as tradition requires. I think Charles has bees at Highgrove, too.

I’ll stick with a constitutional monarchy until a better solution presents itself.

They couldn't come up with a better idea in the 1650s.

Exactly.

That’s why I’ll stick with what we have.

I'm not saying I want a constitutional monarchy, because I don't. I am happy with my republic. I'm just pointing out that having an elected HOS is not necessarily cheaper or better.

Unless we made them just one person. They'd be kind of busy though.

To the people reporting people- what is there to report? No one's been abusive to another user or anything, people have just had different opinions about things.

Our former mayor used to park 2 SUV's of cops outside the YMCA while he exercised. Seriously. I saw them. Trust me, they will driving some elected's lab to the vet. You won't be saving money.

I expect that many of you on this thread are in favour of VAT on private schools. As long as you know you can't have it both ways. You can't attack a system that basically acknowledges some have more advantages than others, but that there may be a benefit for everyone from this, when those with the advantages share them (eg private and public schools that offer free after school clubs). You can't have this and also claim whatever you are claiming about privilege, and private schools perpetuating that.

Good luck with the cognitive dissonance there.

lol I don't often go on this bit of MN. Do the threads in this bit usually go all over the place like this?

I didn’t see anything about reports except from the teacher. What do you mean?

Yes
