It was a few pages ago but just chiming in to say not all us brits are such craven monarchists but every time you bring up that having a royal family is anathema to leftism you get a barrage of jfairfax style drivel

It's like gun control in the US where leftists have to say "I agree you do deserve a machine gun, dead kids are very good!!"

The house of lords has been relatively sensible about the brexit stuff, hasn't it?

Most legislation normally passes the Lords without a hitch but the more batshit and insane it is, the more likely it is to get kicked back to the commons with a note attached saying "this is loving stupid, have a word with yourselves" at which point the more frothy parts of the media will start their UNELECTED OFFICIALS GONE MAD propaganda

Guns are like the British monarchy in that nobody really likes them, but our constitution allows us to use them as a last resort against tyranny.

I'm not a monarchist, but if a bunch of Polish immergrents break into my house to steal my Elixirs I reserve my constitutional right to summon Princess Beatrice to cast Diamond Dust on their collective arses.
