I’d execute the fucking lot of them. There was the Nepalese heir to the throne shot up the palace. Anybody want to put money on Prince Andrew going radge sometime.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 This has been rumbling on for a little while now without much traction in the main stream press. Pretty sure he was the same boy embroiled in the Italian mafia trial so not great news for him, he of course says he is innocent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 In all seriousness, once we become a Republic (which won't be tomorrow, given the obstacles currently being placed to avoid a referendum on our political constitution) how can we legally arrange for the handing over of the acres of land that the royals own? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any issue I do have is more to do with the hangers on out-with the immediate family and the gammons who idolise them in a creepy way. If I met the queen or any high ranking royals I'd look forward to it and would show them respect accordingly. At lining her own pockets, maybe. The old c**t has only ever been interest in amassing wealth (estimated at hundreds of millions). She became the first monarch to privately organise a secret deal with the PM (that other old corpse, Churchill) to legally avoid paying tax. This continued until it was outed in the 90s, whereupon she reluctantly agreed to pay on a voluntary basis. Previous monarchs, for all their faults, had paid their taxes and so hadn’t managed to screw the country over purely to make themselves privately rich. She put the private accumulation of wealth first, and always has. My hot take is that she looked around Europe (and beyond) in the early 50s and was shitting her silken knickers that the UK public might rumble the massive con job the monarchy was and boot them out. As a safeguard, she realised screwing her “subjects” and the UK over for the sake of private profit was the best means of ensuring her incestuous family’s comfort if that ever happened. No doubt she’s shocked and delighted that successive generations have continued to be snowed by her “majesty” - despite a brief fall from grace in the 90s So aye - she’s a decrepit, greedy old b*****d who puts her predecessors to shame when it comes to private greed (all under a media-led mask of “duty”). The sooner she joins her cadaverous husband in the grave the better. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to do that for abolishing the Royal Family anyways, given that the monarchy has all the constitutional levers in place to prevent that happening. Parliament can't even discuss the abolition of the monarchy without the monarch's permission, let alone pass the relevant law, which then requires explicit, formal, permission from the monarch. The constitutional problem of nationalising and reallocating the Crown estates/Duchy of Cornwall will be a piece of cake compared to getting them out of power in the first place.

Also worth pointing out the royals don’t own the crown estates in a private capacity. It belongs to the offices. Abolish the offices and it reverts to whoever or whatever replaces them as the holders of the crown (a corporation sole). This is why Edward VIII didn’t abdicate and retain swathes of crown estate.

NotThePars Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) The royal press corps get paid a heap of cash to massage the reputation of our monarchy and after months of being battered about by Meghan and Harry the best they can come up with "they rejected a title because their wean might get called names and actually they threw a huff cause Charles was about to get them telt." Unreal. Edited June 24, 2021 by NotThePars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 We'll never see social change until the proletariat rise up and storm The Winter Buckingham Palace and string them all up. Maybe Trump's supporters could give us some guidance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
