Tough day to be a republican, it's a proper Royal stroke job

[Classic Jorge]

That said, congratulations to her majy maj for staying alive for so long.

[Berni]

disagreeing with you and thinking you're a bit silly.

[Ashberto]

Watery bints lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

How did it go in the end with Johnny Ivan? Did you manage to behave yourself?

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

hit the deck in Whitehall, tbf. That's no longer an issue imo.

It was a bit rough. On my walk home from the station, I tripped over a rabbit in the dark and fell into a patch of nettles. :-(

This is what I get for moving to Buttf**k, Nowhere, I suppose. Dangerous animals and poisonous plants.

One of my best mates is a northern irish unionist who identifies as a brit, me being an english republican who identifies as irish is no barrier to us getting on famously.

[Classic Jorge]

Presumably it was a dead rabbit, it'd be a hard ******* rabbit that went about tripping up semi-rural drunkards.

HM The Queen. She does a super job as figurehead of the country and I hope she continues resplendent for many years.

Long may she reign.

That said, I'm not entirely shocked you'd support the monarchy, you make berni and sir c look like dangerous revolutionary trotskyites, such is your slavish conservative devotion to the status quo.

[Classic Jorge]

You dont get left wing ulster unionists

[Berni]

institution for perfectly mundane and rational reasons. You prefer the idea that we've been brainwashed.

No, it was very much alive. I was just finishing walking across a bridge, about to put my foot down when it shot out from where I was about to step, causing me to overbalance and take a tumble.

Harland & Wolfe and being an Orangeman.

So this tory unionist is also a republican, is he?

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

whether rain falls up, shall we? :hehe:

[Classic Jorge]

I think she's a symbol of inherited, hereditary and unearned privilege and a massive drag on our progress to a proper, modern nation.

[Rich]

Once Charles abdicates, I think William and Catherine will make a magnificent King and Queen.

[Classic Jorge]

Surrounding oneself with people of the same beliefs is a thoroughly inpractical idea. Especially for someone with my, rather niche, set of beliefs.

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

be regarded affectionately as a slightly dotty uncle.

[Classic Jorge]

Sidestep Right!

[Berni]

anyone who supports the monarchy', thing, I'd have thought, since the first person you cited was an avid supporter of the monarchy.

[Classic Jorge]

He was an example of me knowing people of all different persuausions, even diametrically opposite ones.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

coterie of chums is left-wing, isn't it?

[Berni]

Even The Guardian slunk away from that one in a rather embarrassed fashion when they were revealed to have all the political significance of a wet fart.

[Classic Jorge]

And dont forget, my dad and all his friends are cab drivers

[Snin]

saudi royal family, North Korea and Mugabe get close to her dedication to ruling unopposed WD to the last great dictator her maj :bow:

[Ashberto]

Plantagenets, they were a pretty dreadful bunch, and hardly an institution to be proud of. Obviously difficult times and so on but still, dickheads to a man.

[Classic Jorge]

He's done plenty of lobbying north of the border too

We should be one of them but we're hidebound by pompous tradition, an overbearing ruling class and a servile, effette, reactionary and gutless middle class.

That's really "find out", mind you. You can't just ask them because they'll just tell you what they think you would like to hear.
