An interesting article about the curious timing of this announcement.

The Queen received this tweet last night.
" Would love to buy your house. Would make great hotel.Have very, very BIGLY plans for it. Lose 'Old Man', you could do better, sad"

The Tories will probably declare him "fit for work" and force him into a workfare placement at Tesco.

Who's going to take over his role as Royal Racist? A few years ago, my money would have been on Prince Harry, but he seems to have gone a bit quiet.

Actually, he's not a royal, but I think the important job of travelling all over the world offending countries is probably already covered.

The Kings and Queens of the world should retire, they are nothing but a cost for the countries they "rule". Keep the castles as museums and be done with it.
No one is born to be a ruler of other people, it's [REDACTED]

Best be careful - according to the UK law (Section 3 of Treason Felony Act 1848 which is still current law), even thinking or imagining that the current monarch shouldn't the monarch is illegal - with the sentence being deportation...

Of course. you're unlikely to ever be arrested for simply thinking about what a UK would be like without a Royal Family... [big grin]

The Royal family may be the last glue that holds England together. At least as the England I remember. But then I am older and my time here is about spent.

The staff of Buckingham Palace was summoned in the middle of the night for a very unusual emergency meeting. The right arm of the queen (her private secretary Chrisdtopher Geidt) and Lord Chambellan will address them on Thursday morning

Hahahahaha.... So funny to see you Brits still are so much into "The Crown" and all that sheit. Who cares ...

Why is someone born "royal" better than others. Never does compute here. And all the ceremonies and protocols and mocked up walking and sublime behaviour of these people are only in place to make them look better than the rest of the population. And so many peoply fall for it.... silly

The Royal Family just abuses their "god given right" to milk the poor as it has always been. It's like the brain limited people need a guideline. Same as religion. Proooooooooooo...

England?

I'm in Scotland & I don't agree with England's monarchy. Mind you, technically by pointing out that you're unlikely to ever be arrested for simply imagining a UK without the monarchy I was inciting people - both in the UK and abroad - to think about it - which is also illegal.

Wonder where I'll be deported to then? Maybe if Scotland becomes independent before it goes to court they'll deport me to where I am now - Scotland, lol.

Deportation? Really, I want a new life in Australia.

Our queen and she is our queen; was not born to become queen. They are not 'better than us', just something history has put into place.

Well I didn't vote for her

But here is the thing; would you vote for her, if given the choice, between her and the lot we have running the country now?

To be honest, I probably would.

For decades there's been chills running around Westminster looking for a spine to run up. The last politician of any worth was Margaret Thatcher - but I absolutely cannot stand the Tories. Or any of the rest of them.

It's one of the primary reasons I expatriated - and because I have absolutely no say in anything here - I'm completely freed of the burden of democratic duty
