What’s your opinion on the wider family. I agree with this, however I can’t warm to the rest of them.

Probably never will. I'm not really a travel person. The only time I left the UK was a school trip to Germany by coach. 

Get yourself on a stag do to Amsterdam, that’ll open your eyes! 😂

Can't say I'm a big fan of the rest of the Royal Family tbh. William seems O.K. and has done a lot of work in raising awareness of mental health - so fair play to him for that. 

 

When the Queen pops her clogs it'll be a sad day. 75 years of public service and the respect of leaders around the world is some going.

 

She deserves to be knighted

Is that not similar to saying the Pope should be made an Arch Bishop?

I personally don't have problem with "fairweather fans" or fans who casually support Leicester but are not hardcore like us on here. They are in the minority anyway, and most people who attend games at KP are passionate 100% City fans. If people from Leicester wanna go to KP to see Ronaldo, so be it IMO

Is she a legend though? Not only does she abuse tax payers money, but she also keeps a lot of her wealth in tax havens, because woe betide a billionaire receiving taxpayers’ money having to pay tax on it. She says she pays tax, but funnily enough not only is it ‘voluntary’ but her and the royal family’s affairs are completely closed to public scrutiny despite people describing them as ‘public servants’. In fact even their archives are completely closed to the public.
 

Not only is the monarchy a corrupt institution but it is also morally unjustifiable, anti democratic, anti equality and anachronistic. Everything the queen (and the royal family) does is PR - essentially getting good press coverage so people don’t realise how pointless and wasteful they are. In the late 60s the queen was told by advisers that she needed to boost her popularity otherwise the monarchy might be abolished in the future, so she agreed to have a film crew document life in Buckingham Palace for some good propaganda, I mean PR. But she thought the result made the royal family appear too normal, and she thought that if people thought they were normal they wouldn’t support the continuance of the monarchy. So she banned it from ever being shown. Perception and self preservation is all they care about.

 

Furthermore not only has she regularly intervened in political affairs - without checks and balances - historically (despite what people say about her not having any political influence), such as when she dismissed a democratically elected government in Australia in 1975, and the multiple times she has influenced legislation in this country that she believed affected her interest, it was revealed recently that for years she refused to hire ethnic minorities. She is also the prime defender of legal inequality as she and her family are literally above the law (like Prince Andrew); the key component in the outdated class and aristocratic system that makes us a laughing stock elsewhere; and she and her family are also hypocrites, such as when William made a speech about how we should protect animals and then the next day went hunting.

 

So yeah the monarchy is a corrupt institution, wrong in practice and wrong in principle - just a bunch of privileged billionaire layabouts who thrive on inequality and oligarchy over democracy. And the queen is at the centre of it. If only Oliver Cromwell wasn’t a total killjoy things could have been a different, or if the British population wasn’t so historically placid, unlike the French.

 

This is supposed to be a lighthearted thread isn’t it? 🤨😂

Articulated better than I ever could. Despise them. (Although happy to offer a safe haven for Kate should she require).

Reading a bit further on his profile, that Jack seems like a genuine fan.

 

I don't think we've got an issue with people just turning up to watch the opposition superstars, really. Hardly as if the attendance grows when Man United turn up instead of Burnley.

Can’t be that hard work if you can do it at 95 👀

 

Maybe she should retire and we can have interviews to see who’s best for the job of head of state? Who are you gonna vote for, Charles, Charles or Charles? 🤔

Boo to the 'Cats can get in the bin' brigade above...

 

This is the new addition to the family - anti allergy, plays fetch, brings you her collar when she wants to go outside, etc and all round quite good fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this was our first one - easily the doggiest cat I've ever known...just waaaay less effort to look after!  (although triggered allergies in both of us, hence the anti-allergy cat above)!

never been interested in any of them to be honest. Watched Superman as a kid, and that's about it.

I've never really understood this outlook. Don't get me wrong I'm not really in to marvel either but some of my favourite films are "for kids". Don't think I'll ever get bored of Spirited Away or My Neighbour Totoro.

Try telling anyone who has watched it Grave of The  Fireflies is for kids just because it's animated.
