quiXilver Posted June 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Good on em I say. The entire notion of 'Royal Family Lines' is an outdated, useless and parasitic oldworld colonial paradigm well passed its expiration date. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted June 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Well, the Jubilee might inspire some of them to make greater efforts. If they work hard enough, they might become Royalty themselves. No one gets anything for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Wellington Posted June 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Another anti-Britain thread by non Brits lol. The official figures say 13.3 million households watched which is 74% of the audience Platinum Party at the Palace: Jubilee concert is most watched TV event of year as 13.3m tune in | The Independent No data has been collected to determine age breakdowns. The above is normally figured out from electricity usage. The live footage had plenty of people of all ages attending in London.

I know quite a few republicans who watched because of Queen and Duran Duran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiXilver Posted June 6, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Again Cookie proves she doesn't have reading comprehension... Being anti royal is not anti brit. Wake up gal. Tired, old parasitic paradigm that serves no purpose to anyone but the parasites claiming some sort of 'royalty' and then using that to parasite society and manipulate it and those 'who should be honored to bend the knee and serve them'. Dry retch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we should maintain our Commonwealth ties. We just don't have to pay homage to the royal family to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro-Immigration. 5. Anti-Monarchy. 6. General negativity towards Britain. 7. Not even British. 8. Anti-Religion. 9. Believes all views except the above are fascism. There are about 5 to 10 such members on UM who tick all nine boxes. After you have seen a good range of their posts you begin to realise that Britain is a symbol to them which must be torn down at all costs. Its because of our history. Now all people are entitled to their views and to express themselves within the rules. But they don`t speak for the majority of Britain. We gave our Commie PM wannabe a mauling at the last election, a firm rejection. That muppet would have even got rid of our nuclear deterrent. Can you imagine ourselves in the current scenario with Russia? You send those MLRS, we will nuke you, and you have no deterrent to stop us. The monarchy is popular in the UK!!! Did you see all the people that went out and enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations? The crowds were huge and included all age groups.

My impression is also they are pro Monarchy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.A.T.1961 Posted June 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) As an institution the monarchy provide a unique service to the UK. Nations can have presidents and prime ministers but non can do the same job for the country. For example if Royalty turn up somewhere with a trade group then there will be a ceremonial response from that nation and a bigger chance something will come of it. They will not be shunted off to see some mid ranking civil servants or minor dignitary's. You cannot pay for this, if a nation wanted to create a monarchy without hundreds of years of history behind the institution it would have no weight and go nowhere. And its this that upsets some as many binned their equivalent years ago and realise there is no going back. The truth is the UK plays in the world with another man on the pitch. Soft power is projected as British culture is promoted. As in many things the UK punches above its weight and part of that ability is due to the Monarchy.

As the graph shows there isn`t the support for a republic. Edited June 7, 2022 by Cookie Monster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
