I don't think there's been a purpose for there being a monarch for anyone other than the monarch for a couple of hundred years at least Edited June 4, 2022 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I don't really get the disrespect for the queen, she does what she does. Maybe it because her family did bad things 100 years ago, I dunno? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could meet her for a chat over a cuppa and I wasn't expected to bow and call her ma'am, just because of an accident of birth, she might earn as much respect as, oh I dunno, a nurse or a cleaner. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I don’t think it’s a case of disliking the queen personally but rather what it is she represents, the absolute fulcrum of the elite in Britain. Each member of the royal family is born into obscene wealth and standing without having to lift a finger for it (necessarily). Yeah I know they do x amount for charity etc but to be honest, I’m sure they do that as much to break up the boredom of having feck all else to do as much as they do it for their royal duty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can forelock tug some godbothering fraud all you like, I just resent the rest of us being expected to pay any attention to her and her family of inbred, parasitic, rapist defenders, who think they're better than us due to birth and the will of a deity I don't believe in.

AndyM3000 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Will take a while to get rid of it but people are less and less accepting of the whole Royal Family thing. It is a load of nonsense but at the same time good luck to them, glad it's not me I'd absolutely hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
