A comment was posted about Charles fingering his wife Camilla. A long term alias guy then put an outraged reply. He'd mistakenly thought the previous comment had been about Charles fingering his dead mother Elizabeth. That same guy also stated he has collected 200 screenshots of comments from P&B that he personally found offensive. He threatened he was going to pester media outlets with this collection of his in the hope one would use them to publish a negative story about P&B. Presumably his hope was that'd then put off advertisers and P&B would lose profitability.

:lol:

My post was completely accurate. No idea why it was deleted in 'the purge'.

 

I need to get in touch with that free speech union that DPB was on about. 😃

Similarly, I quoted verbatim four lines from a specific telephone conversation between the current queen and someone that I identified as "C the 1/3rd" in the hope of sparing his blushes.

Although I don't watch the program, I believe that the same conversation was recently portrayed on hit Netflix programme "The Crown". Obviously it must be too racy for staid old P'n'B 😃

I suggested that our noble King's award of The Order of the Thistle to his wife could increase support for Scottish Independence.

Sincere apologies for any offence this might have caused.

One issue to consider here is Boris Johnson.

Obviously he was never fit to be Prime Minister and there is little to suggest he took the role seriously.

However if the UK was a republic with a non-executive president who would cut ribbons, open hospitals, greet visiting dignitaries and give tiresome speeches then Johnson would have been far better at that than the role he was forced to quit.  

He would also have been a lot cheaper than the Royal Family I suspect.

Better yet, we could have a republic with a token head of state who is not a lying arsehole.

Maybe except for one small point.  I don't really give a shit.

The role of Prime Minister or First Minister (or equivalent) is an important one that affects people's lives and should only go to someone who will take it seriously as opposed to for some ego trip.

By contrast the role of President (in some countries at least) may supposedly be more senior but in reality it is largely ceremonial and has less consequences if it goes to the wrong person.

I recall when Andrei Gromyko was made President of the USSR and was totally pissed off.  It was like being put out to pasture.
