"Can I ask what they have done to make Britain great again? As far as I can tell the country is still on its arse. Errr we got a day off? What more do you want! " I want white dog poo back. I haven’t seen that since the last time Britain was truly great! | |||
"We attended a street party yesterday and we watched a lot of of the Cornation events on TV It makes me proud to be a Brit, Indian and have a royal family like ours. The royal family earn the UK hundreds of millions and out King & Queen and William/Kate and family, plus Princess Ann and her family and Edward and Co are making Britian great again God save the King." I second that, well said. Sure there is a lot wrong with the UK but that has more to do with the long running and continuing saga of inept and self serving politicians and their wqually inept and short sighted civil service cosy chums who have really run the country to ruin. But there is also a lot right with the UK as a safe place to live, well as safe as it can be conducive to freedom. | |||

Not sure where that hundred of millions is going, certainly isnt being spent on the fucking appalling roads round the country, or tackling homelessness, negating the needs for food banks or various other problems. I'd be surprised if it makes it out of London and i'm fairly sure the same result could be achieved opening the numerous properties this family have the use of as tourist attractions.

Well said, cheers In England, if you are healthy, there is no reason why one should not be able to live comfortably if one has not ben greedy, ie living hand to mouth becuse they want a lifestyle they can't afford I've had problems in several jobs and getting the job EG, though difficult to prove, I felt there was an element of racisum especially 30 odd years ago. Thnakfully things have improved and more people are aware that choising the best person/s for the job will benefit the company. I've been to Indian many times and their is racisum there, Eg you at times cant get certain jobs becuse you belong to a different relgion or caste but again people are seeing sense and the government for certai reasons have positive disrmination for certian jobs for many years and this has benefitted Indian England is a safe and fair country compared to many and our royal family, the ones I mentioned are a credit to the people of England/UK.

Thousands of people have suffered at the hands of the monarchy over the years, either directly or otherwise. They have caused wars, taken property( which they still have).

"We attended a street party yesterday and we watched a lot of of the Cornation events on TV They bring nothing to this country.

No they don't. The Royals bring nothing and take everything. Tourists will still visit with or without them.

"Yup, we are too privileged and entitled as a nation. The more I look at other countries and monarchies the more I appreciate what we have. The charities they support and patron are incredible. Surely it makes good business sense to spend 100-250 million on a coronation and boost the economy by 1 billion. Anyway you will never change people's minds- growing up I was always saying what have they done for me etc but as I got older and read/watched more about our royal family the more I have grown to like and value them.

No they don't. The Royals bring nothing and take everything. Tourists will still visit with or without them. It's not as if they come to the balcony at 3pm every day to make themselves seen is it? You are right in part but if the bucks palce was not ther inc royals, graudually England would lose tens of millions of pounds per year in tourist trades as its a big part and parcel of many that visit London" No it wouldn't. Get rid of the free loaders. Open the palaces up and tour them. This is where the royal family used to live - would have idiots lapping it up. | |||

"Can I ask what they have done to make Britain great again? As far as I can tell the country is still on its arse. Errr we got a day off? What more do you want! I want white dog poo back. I haven’t seen that since the last time Britain was truly great! ask old big ears for some he should have plenty seeing he married the dog he has been banging for 40years and made her his queen " Classy | |||
"Great, a day off where I don't get paid. Thanks Nothing like living in a meritocracy where what you can achieve is decided by whose vag you fall out of. Thats life. When or where is it any different? Any country that doesn't cling to a hereditary monarchy that dates back to when people believed any old shit " You genuinely believe that? In Which country does it make no difference what vag you fell out of? | |||
"Is there space in this thread for the indifferent?" Best place to be my friend. For once I’m not going to engage in the debate as it’s fun to just watch people attack each other for a differing opinion. | |||

" ... I want white dog poo back. I haven’t seen that since the last time Britain was truly great!" Would it be too much to ask if we can have dog turds in red, white and blue? Then the streets could be decorated without the need for any bunting. | |||

"I've lived in a few countries, and worked in a few more. Some are better at some things than the UK, but not all things. Some are far, far worse at all things. The UK is probably the least racist first world country I've lived in, the NHS is great if you can't afford private, but it's not the best free healthcare in the world. All in all, it's my favourite country so far. Bess x " My fave response in here. Neutral, but oozing positivity. Can tell you’re a glass half full kinda person. | |||

"There are quite a few here that need to give their heads a wobble. England is no longer the empire or superpower that you think it is. The shambles over the weekend just shows how out of touch England is with the rest of the world, what an embarrassment." Alternatively people can just do their own thing, celebrate if want to, ignore it if not and just go about your extra day off. | |||

Absolutely, people are perfectly entitled to show their arses if they want to, I perhaps wouldn't post it on a public forum but that's just me. Why do you assume that everyone has a day off? My partner's work didn't recognise today as a bank holiday. | |||

"I'm a fan of the Royal family. I loved the Queen she was always there. Haven't got used to Charles being king yet. I'm not sure how he's going to get along but him and camilla are a strong team I like her. He won't be on the throne as long as his mother maybe 20 years. I think when William and Kate take over I think they will bring back the popularity of the royal family. They are already doing a fantastic job" Im not so sure. Some people. A growing number perhaps are "anti" which is fair enough as long as they dont spoil things for those who enjoy it. | |||

"Just a wee thought, if we didn't have a monarchy, can you imagine what it would be like in this country if the supreme authority was either Maggie or Boris..better our monarchy than a dictatorship.

"Lots of differing views and opinions....so, those against go live in a different country...and see how sucky life is, those who are happy where would you want to be right here right now? Great Britain rules and we should all be proud to be Brits, no country on earth does a celebration like we do!! Ah the voice of moderation and reason chimes in. When was the last time Britain was 'great'. We delude ourselves, we once had an empire, and as the song goes we also ruled the waves, but that was quite a long time ago. If you look at what we have become under this present administration, it would be possible to get us confused with some crakpot, corrupt, tin pot, little, third world country.England has always been great just marred by some of the not so great people that live in it Like the monarchy and aristocracy " Some of them yes but the Queen was the last in a line of great monarchs RIP QE2 | |||
"TBH, Wills & Kate should have become queen and king as they are not divorced nor cheated on their OH and don't make comments about talking to tress and amrrows and the like. The royals should remain totally royal like RG, puppet the expectations of the Brtish public, ie been seen, smile, make polite non political comments, shae hands, more simles and get in to their big cars ready for the next act. I do respect our king but ideally the crowns should have gone to kate and wills." I don't think it works like that, there are processes and procedures to follow within the Monarchy even if the king agreed. The act of settlement states that the Monarchs direct heir succeeds to the throne, the Monarch has no political power so can't change law. Any abdication would need to be agreed by parliament. | |||

" Millions more have died and suffered - and continue to die and suffer - think N Korea, China, Russia - and the countries they invade, occupy and disrupt. All due to religion, despots, dictators, political extremists, communism etc etc, nothing to do with monarchy so to single out any monarchy as the sole cause of the world's woes is an untrue distortion. Get real!" I never mentioned the world's woes. We are talking about Britain. The British monarchy have always been in positions to alleviate suffering at all levels and have consistently refused to do so. | |||

The fact the vast majority of the country had the day off makes it a fair assumption. Shame your fella didn’t, but I’m guessing you thought it was a good thing he didn’t given your thoughts on the day so no foul. | |||

"We loved the community togetherness - more than 90 street parties, several concerts, a parade and a church service in the Royal Borough of Kingston. As a couple with strong connections to the forces and the "firm" we enjoyed being British in this inclusive way. x Anne & George " Love that! | |||
