@49pixels@supertanskiii Adam your reasons for supporting the monarchy end up being they might bring money in and they seem vaguely benign.
They are neither of those things, try watching the Suez crisis episode of the Crown, that might prove my point more than I can
@49pixels@supertanskiii It does not make us a profit as we have already argued. If anyone can cut ribbons why elevate this mob?
If we are going to have an hos let it have a point. I hate the hierarchy it also stands for, no one is better than you Adam
@49pixels@supertanskiii The family are as flawed as all the rest of humanity (it could be said that the premise of exhalation has distorted their attitudes to the rest of us) and no better than anyone else
Therefore to distort and pervert democracy to assist them is immoral, and infantalizes us
@49pixels@supertanskiii If you or I stuck our nose into things we were not qualified for we would be ignored, so why should he be treat differently?
Plus he is not only not qualified he is also not affected by these issues and is often a hypocrite (jets in enviro events etc)
@49pixels@supertanskiii Why do you think, despite all its travails that Charlie hung on in their? Maybe no other job could afford him such riches, and given him such influence in areas he has no qualifications for. Architecture, town planning, and environmental etc
@49pixels@supertanskiii This idea of being groomed is really nonsense, it's not a hard job shaking hands and cutting ribbons in return for keeping your mouth shut
Plus the rewards of astronomical wealth, soft power, massive swathes of land, and bizarre deference make it a persuasive job
@49pixels@supertanskiii Money really isn't the point, even though a pres would be one man not everyone in the family.
Plus corruption, in a country with a constitution and accountability it isn't necessary, with a monarch shrouded in mystery it will always be the case just what some deem acceptible
@49pixels@supertanskiii No we need a written Constitution and a president who shakes hands but is also an ombudsman for said constitution.
Therefore checks and balance with pm
@49pixels@supertanskiii It is impossible to tell but that is not the point. We are supposedly a democracy which is the idea which their presence perverts.
Plus immoral to raise to that position based on birthright
@49pixels@supertanskiii Do you remember Harry and willy doing sponsored motorbike ride across S Africa for charity?
It raised Β£150,000 but actually cost taxpayer Β£400,000 to keep safe
@49pixels@supertanskiii A few years ago when Andrew called himself trade envoy he had a report commissioned of monies he personally brought in.
On receipt of info he didn't publish. Proving him a deficit?
@49pixels@supertanskiii It's not profitable though. People stand and gawp outside Buck House when there is no one there.
Imagine if they could pay to stay there?
@DazzlingDaz3@supertanskiii Unifying force? Don't be stupid.
We have nationalist governments in two of our four home countries for a start.
They are a force for division and against democracy
