RE: wel history seems to be alive and well in France and other places.. It was just so they could win loads of medals at the commonwealth games!
Correcto. When the Queen agreed to hand over the revenue from all her estates in return for an annual allowance we started coining it in. The most important role of the monarch for me is as head of the armed forces. It's good to know that, at any time, the real power can be taken back from the government. So any fascist cult which believes that one day it'll vote itself into power can put that in its pipe and smoke it.
Kings and Queens in the 21st century, what a load of ******, it's about time the South East of this island was cut adrift, freeloading set of parasites, and I'm unanimous in this.
Mcdog has a blue rinse, and is himself a queen......... tugging at his cap neb, saying things like "yes ma'am, no ma'am, your humble servant ma'am", I hope it pisses down all day upon the workshy lot of them.
In theory Windy, yes. In practice,it would be very difficult to do. It also raises the question of the Royals and their class being able totake that action when the government of the day thretens their way of life in some way eg the two proposed coup against Harold Wilson
And... the irony is that the Queen and her class are more likely to be a "facist cult" than any other. Serfs and Lords and all that. They'd love them days back.
RE: And... Of all the 'ruling' classes (for want of a better phrase) I think HM is the least 'fascist'. imho some members of the current govt are extremely fascist in their outlook. Being fascist is not necessarily a 'right wing' perogative.</p> Polly Toynbee is fascist imho. You'll find many of the Liberal left are so convinced that their view of the world is so correct and every other view deserves contempt that they are nothing if not fascist.</p>
RE: Can I ask?? is that what they are then a tourist attraction ? Perhaps we should teach them how to juggle and stilt walk.
