I think flying to another country to see a football match that's on TV everywhere is absolutely shocking from an environmental point of view. There should be very strict limits on the number/mileage of non-essential flights each person can take in their lifetime.

Tell you what, I haven't been more than 20 yards from the house for the last 18 months because I'm caring for a bed bound DH. William can have the flight to Berlin from my allocation, I must be owed some. Sorted.

Honestly.

Do you only participate in events that you think represent the British people?

Show quote history

No - why would you think that?

Flag their passport so they are prevented from taking any more flights by being turned away.

Strangely, I wasn’t being entirely serious. It was more to point out that your ideas are as draconian as Stalin’s 😳

Honestly, some people (mainly Republicans it seems) just love to be miserable. They remind me of the miserable puritanical Roundheads. It actually reminds me of the ‘King of Bling’ song from Horrible Histories. I posted the lyrics on a previous thread, looks like I’m going to have to put them up here too.

King Charles, my daddy
Lost his throne and kings were banned
They chopped off his head
Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land
Old Olly wasn’t jolly
He was glum, and he was proud
Would be miserable as sin
Only sinning’s not allowed!

When Olly died, the people said
‘Charlie, me hearty!
Get rid of his dull laws
Come back, we’d rather party! ‘
This action’s what they called
The monarchy restoration
Which naturally was followed
By a huge celebration!

video here too 😁 you can see why they decided they wanted the monarchy back…

As someone else who weeks after a huge surgery was given an unexpected and very early stage cancer diagnosis I was extremely happy to see the POW at the tennis today.

But then I do appreciate her and I’ve always been happy to see her out and about.

250,000 people are estimated to have attended Elizabeth II's lying in state - 0.003% of the population, again likely to be biased towards those living in London and places where London is easily reachable; and including foreign tourists who happened to be in London at the time.

So, no, not representative, even leaving aside the fact that Elizabeth is no longer a living member of the RF and many non-Royalists had a personal respect for her as an individual which won't necessarily carry forward to her descendants.

0.3%, not 0.003%
But what's a factor of 100 when you've got a point to make.

Because an earlier poster claimed that it did.

It’s fine. We can develop a massive black market for fake passports with low airline miles. It will be crack. We will be loaded!

Yes that’s why Uricorn agreed to donate hers to William and not to Harry.

I saw a very very sad pic today of Shannon Doherty who died today of cancer aged 53. I believe this is what some of these posters want to see with The POW.

Wow. Surely with this sort of completely unjustified projection this board has hit rock bottom?
