I'd quite like a job as a Royal Watcher to offer my insights to the Sun, the Mirror, the Daily Sun, and the Daily Mirror but should the ruddy Times you call tell them I'm indisposed!

Well I think they're lovely. A bit of class never hurt nobody. Plus, it's tradition, innit? You go on Oprah, slag off the Queen, and then she does you in. Time honoured.

My mate Andy reckons he saw Harry and Meghan on the Millennium Wheel last year. Him - head hanging out of a gondola chuckin' his guts up all over the poor sods below. Her - arse hangin' out havin' a slash. He says they had aura about 'em. You could tell just by lookin' that they was cast from a different mould.

Now see here. One does not of course discount the existence of amateurs masquerading as professional Royal Watchers and that less reputable publications (the Times for example) might be taken in by these charlatans. However, a well trained and accredited Royal Watcher is a rich well of Royals Knowledge that would we would be ill advised to discount. To suggest otherwise is, I believe, to unfairly mischaracterise one of the eldest and most respected professions in Britain.

Lol imagine marrying into the royal family and having suicidal thoughts... Maybe a therapist would do lil lady? Must be hard being a rich gently caress, Oh no suicidal thoughts and I couldnt get help from the royals. :qq:

Meanwhile the plebs children are killing themselves every singel day without any of the help or hope they are promised every single loving day.

Get hosed bitch family. Get hosed Meghan. Whiny spoiled brat, figure you would fit right in amongst the inbred royals. Oh no they did a racism... Well yeah, you know minoritys are killed every day and you married a loving Prince?!? Get some perspective rear end in a top hat.

I've had just about enough of this. Need I remind you that she is a princess and thus far more sensitive than a calloused and uncouth peasant. Take, for example, the tale of the Princess and the Pea wherein a princess was able to feel but a single pea beneath many layers of mattresses and blankets.

Perhaps it is you that should get some perspective and display a little more sympathy for someone who feels the slings and arrows of this world more keenly than you.

Did anyone address the fact that the royal family had a deformed child 200 years ago and sealed him up in a secret room? And that he's still alive and comes out to feast on the flesh of innocents, slaughtered by the Royal Family to appease him?

Why isn't Oprah asking the REAL questions here???

This is a horrible thing to say. Prince Charles may have large ears but he's certainly no 200 year old freak.

Royals are so lucky. If only there was an unambiguous list of the people I had to kill to gain ultimate power. I don't even know who this Miss Tindall lady is but she's just has to kill 17 (18 if you count the current Queen I guess) people to become Queen. I know it sounds like a lot but honestly it's a very achievable goal. Those people meet up for barbeques and balls all the time.

Do you really think we have the same issue with police brutality as the US do......

It's amazing how the word no can mean so many different things to different people. For example I might say that there is no beer in my house and by that mean that there is no beer in my house. You however may interpret that to mean that there is beer in my house but not the same quantities that one might find in a brewery.

Show me a country in the world that doesn't have the police killing people who are committing a crime? UK police are extremely low on the police killing statistics despite being a western country and having a large prison population

Iceland, Switzerland, and Denmark. All countries that the UK modelled itself after and yet have none of the endemic police violence. Now I'm not saying British people (and by association British police) are inherently violent but it's certainly some interesting data to consider.

Have you seen the population sizes of those three countries?

Iceland: 360,000
Switzerland: 8,600.000
Denmark: 5,800,000
UK: 66,700,000

UK police rank way way way down there on international rankings when it comes to police deaths. Relative to the US the UK has no problem. People need to stop associating US issues with the rest of the world.

Let me ask you: How is it that 360,000 Icelandians can solve the problem of police violence while 66,700,000 Brits still struggle with the issue every day? Are Icelandians just so much smarter that it takes a mere 360,000 of them to solve a problem that 66,700,000 Brits cannot?

Iceland has very high high education rates, very high employment rates, significant social benefits. As well as it being largely a homogenous society I imagine these all lead to it not having a big issue with crime.

Let's use a hypothetical for an example. Let's say there's a suspect in a jewellery heist being interviewed by the police. One of the cops is Icelandian, the other British, and the suspect is a Spaniard.

During the interview the Icelandian cop extracts a confession and cooperation leading to the arrest of a larger organized gang of jewel thieves from the suspect while the British cop beats him to death with an asp.

Why might things have turned out that way?

Ah yes the hypothetical magical event that has neven happened in the modern police force.

Wrong! This happened just last year in Belgium.

To answer the question as to why: the British cop was jealous of the Icelandians success in extracting a confession.

We are talking about the UK police here. This entire thread has been comparing the US and UK police.

We're talking about the out of control violence in the UK police force as demonstrated by a British bobby caving in his Icelandian colleague's skull in out of petty envy. That it didn't happen on UK soil isn't the point.

I don't know of any cases a US cop brutally murdering an Icelandiain cop he was working with in a joint Interpol taskforce. Do you?

Everyone's against inbreeding up until your only prospect for marriage is your cousin in the village downstream. You would not have to go back very far in your family tree before it's all just cousins marrying cousins.

When I was a young man I attended a presentation by a gentleman named David Icke. During this presentation a woman came up on stage that had allegedly worked in Buckingham Palace in some kind custodial role. She went on to describe in detail times she had witnessed the Queen and Prince Phillip transform into savage lizard-like beings. During these transformations - these metamorphoses - children would be bought in to be devoured alive. Scared the pants off me. I'll never go to Buckingham Palace. No thank you. I'll get my thrills elsewhere.

I wouldn't go into a Katy Perry thread and say, you know, similar things and I just think people should show a bit of respect.
