    Oh I agree with everything you've said Tekky. I take my hat off to Rashford for what he did, he seems like a nice kid with his heart in the right place.

    Well, I agree that's not right. I'm not really a royalist by any stretch. I think it's the infatuation of celebrities (which includes the royals) that gets up my nose.

    It's ok you saying it's just a poll, but we've been here before with Brexit, that was just a student prank set up by Oxford Uni Conservative SU, next thing you know and our economy is ruined and everything is racist and on fire.

    I don't want to wake up tomorrow to find out you've sold the royal family and moved a bunch of tramps in as Presidents for life.

    We need to know what your policy is if we vote to get rid of the monarchy.

    Grrrr.

    I agree. Getting rid of the monarchy and replacing them with Judy fc ukin Dench. The same poster has the audacity to poopoo people for believing in God. I've heard it all now :D.

    Helen Mirren for me.

    You can’t ignore the culture of the Country in which such a decision is taken. So, as the English are generally made up of right of centre, cap dofffing subservients, still living out WW2, who like to be told what to do by a few elites, then it would be a nonsense to abolish the very top of that system.

    Cor blimey, God bless you Sir.

    I'd get rid. I'd go for a non political president , as in not an ex MP.

    I note that the current standings are 52% v 48%. That’s a ratio that doesn’t bode well
