    You know how hot it is wearing a suit during that weather earlier today?  as you've been to funerals, weddings etc right?

    I got married on a day when it was 40 degrees Celsius. Yes I am aware of what hot is. I also wanted to get out of the damn thing into something more comfortable as soon as I could

    Edit: As you're a royalist, name one way the royal family has improved your life. How does having a royal family make your life better than not having one?

    I'll have to pass that advice on to the debt collectors.

    *knock knock* ‘hi it’s the electric company. We’re here to turn the electric off’

    Person ‘well, it’s the middle of January, it’s effing freezing and I’ve just put me tea on. So not really the time or place is it? Sorry mate.’

    BG until you make a bigger, better and compiling case for a Republic then it will continue "They" wont give up without a fight ....Whom? 

    If you want change then make a good argument  

    My argument is why are they any more worthy of being the monarch than me? Or you? Or Dave from the pub? Being the head of a country (regardless of how much power they do or don’t have) shouldn’t be down to the lottery of birth. 

  4. I dislike the institution of monarchy because it goes against my basic belief of we are all created equal. Why is a royal any different to me because their ancestor was mates with William the Conquerer whilst mine was knee deep in cow manure in some rural backwater? That should have little to no bearing on our lives 1000 years later. At the same time, I bear no ill will to Elizabeth as a person, after all I never met her. Some of her family can get in the bin however. I’m all for showing respect etc but cancelling cancer appointments and funerals never mind kids football and charity walks because of ‘respect’? Nah, not having it. Have a parade, give people the day off work, fine. I’m also split on the protesting of the monarchy at this time. Yeah I probably broadly agree with them and as it’s as the forefront of peoples minds now, it’s probably a good time to talk about it. But also it doesn’t feel like the right time if you know what I mean?

    It's pretty amazing how none of the royal family (from what I can remember) seem to get alzheimer's or any other common issues that people get. It can't just be luck that they live so long, are we putting that down to just constant medical checkups and catching stuff incredibly early or them having access to treatments/drugs etc. that the general public don't?

    I know that George VI died young but he smoked like a chimney.

    This is all getting very conspiracy theory like, maybe I should go to bed...

    It's the lizard blood mate

    I chosen to say it today because today it is relevant. Why do I need to 'give it a day off', not as if I go round banging on about my anti-monarchy sentiment every day of the week.

    Don't get the big deal. An old woman died. That's all she is to me.

    I’m an anti Monarchist Republican too and the most positive emotion I have towards them at the best of times is apathy so I’m erring on the ‘if you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything’ side. Just enjoy the day off you’ll get out of it
