It's a common argument i see. That and the one claiming everyone would stop coming to the UK if we got rid of them

People like Stephen Fry are exactly why we have an all channel enforcement of the monarchy in this country while nobody turns up to the parties outside of the Home Counties psychopaths. There's a huge amount of people with hereditary and gifted titles that all trace their lineage to the Royal Family, and they're desperate to keep it going so they can keep the only working form of trickle down in place. The Lords, Ladies, Barons, Dukes and Sirs. All people with unearned social and material standing that desperately need the Head of state to be the worst example of it so they can keep theirs. And while the King may pretend he's only ceremonial outside of secret backdoor shenanigans to hide their money overseas, the rest of the gallery of sycophants absolutely are swinging the weight of their titles around to get money and bully others.

19% of the Midlands said they would be attending some celebration event this weekend. Compared to 20% of the south. It's stronger in the south for sure but it's not some huge divide. Scotland however, only 7%.

There will have to a referendum eventually. The traditional way of removing your monarchy just isn't as popular as it once was.

What's the point of a representative democracy if the representatives shy away from the big decisions? I mean hey, if you want to do away with representative liberal democracy then I'm listening but I don't think that's your point. There's nothing in the British constitution mandating a referendum on anything though. If a majority of MPs in the HoC support it & it gets through the Lord's tinkering then it becomes law, that includes breaking up the union, changing the Head of State from born to elected or appointed for a term of X years, or if they really want abolishing habeas corpus or making All of You are Cunts and I Hope You loving Die by Fukpig the national anthem.

Ideally, there should be a referendum with every new monarch. Hold it 2-3 years after the coronation so that the veneer of flag-waving patriotism has had a chance to wear thin. Make it a simple yes/no vote to continue the monarchy. If No wins, the current monarch is the last, and the monarchy ends upon his/her death or abdication. That should in theory allow for plenty of time to wrap up the constitutional issues and to separate the royal family's personal wealth from the national assets.

If someone had kept a record of how many did and didn't pledge their allegiance we might find we already had a referendum on keeping the monarchy.

Gonzo McFee posted:You should read up on UK undercover police. If you want to meet your local undercover police officers, basically just start a left wing book club and at least one of the people who turn up will be an undercover cop trying to get people to do something illegal. There are kids fathered by undercover cops who basically got fathered by rape by deception. The UK government's response when it all came out was to retroactively make it legal.

I might have some more exotic flavours for the discerning palate, but I'm going to need extra assurances from the person collecting the home addresses of thread regulars... You have to post "I swear I am not a cop" so then if you are it's entrapment.
