+1000. And it should be located up north.

Republican on the TV was saying how the discussion needs to be had on the future of the royal family. Sorry mate, it was had, and your lot lost. Republicanism was strong in the late 19th century and during the 1950s and 1960s. Now it is most definitely a minority view, often held by the bitter, twisted and envious.

The Frogs must curse their stupid peasant ancestors for pulling down the Bastille during the French Revolution.

Think what a tourist attraction that would have been these days, comparable to the Tower of London.

Do those of us not alive in the 19th century, or for that matter the 1950s or 1960s not get to discuss the issue? How do you know it's a minority view?
