Antlion Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Just now, BFTD said: It was both amusing and disgusting to find out that Pronce Andrew was constantly pimped out to promote Britain and its interests, yet had to be watched at all times due to being a loud-mouthed arrogant embarrassment who was more interested in parties and feathering his own family's nest than doing any work. Truly a divine family of exceptional talent and dedication. At least his from-birth training taught auld Andrew to be generous with his free money. Good to his young acquaintances, so he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Bit late to this thread, although I'm a republican I'm not perpetually raging at the RF, mostly I just wish they'd go away (they can even keep their obscene wealth) I only get annoyed when they start lecturing us about the environment and how they're just like any other family - so that's just about every other day then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find a curious amount of cognitive dissonance going on with the monarchists - all the time, really, but particularly at times like this. As you say, monarchists want us to respect the royals’ grief and privacy because they’re “just like any other family”. But at the same time, they want the Windsors to remain elevated above all other families, and put on display as sideshow freaks. Monarchists are also busily shouting down anyone who condemns the historic acts carried out in the name of previous monarchs (because they’re nothing to do with her!). But at the same time, they want to claim that a benefit of the monarchy is that it’s an unbreakable thread running through history. Monarchists are crowing about the royals’ impartiality and lack of political influence. But at the same time they’re claiming she’s been an invaluable asset to the major politicians of her day. Monarchists are crying about the duty and devotion the queen displayed until death, as though she didn’t choose it. But at the same time, that means they’re supporting a system which literally works nonagenarians to death. Monarchists are beeling at folk for daring to question the monarchy (because it’s apparently disrespectful at this time). But at the same time, they want the institution to be front and centre of people’s minds right now. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 ^ I probably could have saved myself some time by just writing “Monarchists are dirty b*****ds. Utterly brainwashed kooks.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I won’t deny that the Queen has been a pretty good servant all her life considering it’s not something she really wanted to do. What did she actually do though that constitutes being a "good servant"? No one has ever been able to explain this to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever been able to explain this to me. Do? She didn’t do anything. That’s the beauty of her. (Also she didn’t die for a long time and something about God’s will. I don’t know that God wrote up the taxing list of “royal duties” - including reading letters, having lunch, and meeting dignitaries - but He clearly approved them. It’s certainly not the case that the government long ago invented a bunch of unnecessary PR jobs just to give constitutionally useless monarchs something to fill their days - no, sir.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Here's a parallel: if Jimmy Carter had snuffed it this week, at the same age roughly as our Liz, it would have been "that's quite sad, I remember him from years ago, decent guy, bit of a rubbish President, hey ho and Dead Pool points for TTB" Here it's shut everything down until the funeral whether you care or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During her reign Liz used the "Queens Consent" to seek changes to proposed legislation over 1000 times protecting her own interests and I see no reason why the she (and the RF) should be above criticism as many of their supporters want when arguably her preoccupation was grifting., I certainly don't agree with the selfless, mother of the nation, line that is being pedaled by the MSM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The monarchy doesn't actually do anything meriting all the attention it receives. Beyond resenting there being no fitba this weekend because we're all supposed to be grief striken over a 96 year old finally popping her clogs I find the best policy is just to ignore royal hatches, matches and dispatches and let all the weirdos who want to either go completely gaga or seethe to their heart's content over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You describe yourself as 'tone deaf' so you need to recuse yourself from opining on anything musical. Thank you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
