The Queen is a fantastic ambassador for this country. Britain is the most civilised country in the world and just about the most popular to visit and for people to want to come and work here.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

It’s often been observed that a certain type of British Lefty hates Britain – and that they reserve particularly hatred for Englishness. Back in 1941 George Orwell made this acute remark:
England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution.
So what’s new? The difference today is that this shame and self-hatred now dominates Left-wing thought, whereas it was once balanced by the decent Left: who were proud to inherit the noble traditions of radical English patriotism.
Evidence for this disease is all around us, but shows up particularly in two red-button issues-of-the-day: the independence referendum, and the appalling revelations from Rotherham.

The principle of monarchy, people having all that wealth and influence by reason of birth, utterly sucks. How can we condemn welfare scroungers while accepting that? Like many, I have put my republican instincts on hold while ER is around as she does the job well and an elected nominal head of state would probably be just as expensive.
When The Prince of Daftness takes over I, and many others I suspect, will once more become rabid republicans. Hopefully we will get a choice over whether this continues.
Perhaps we could celebrate the end of monarchy by reliving a bit of history and behead another Charles. Great fun.bloggoth

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

As far as Orwell is concerned he alludes to the matter of Nationalism very well. Those that oppose the monarchy in such vitriolic fashion are people with personal issues probably associated with the concept of self loathing. https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/o/orw...orn/part1.htmlLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

That way Charles will only be King a short while and drop dead before the Republican campaign gets in full swing.
I've had discussions with people about presidents in their countries.
They are just as expensive and corrupt plus they have political views.
Yeah anyone can in theory become a president but we know in reality most will come from a particular kind of background."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
