It's also good manners not to blatantly turn one's back on her, as that twat seemed to be doing.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here -
Oliver Cromwell didn't execute enough of the sponging bastids.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

Really? Like in France, where they get more tourist money than the UK, but got rid of their chinless wonders years ago?Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

Not sure I believe that old line personally. People would still visit Royal castles and Palaces, even if we didn't have a current Monarchy. Time to let the current reign end and then abolish the monarchy.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostComment

Indeed. And we're not fully exploiting the tourist attractions as is. If we moved The Queen and Phillip into a council house in Swindon then all of Buckingham Palace, Windsor, Balmoral etc. can be open to the public.Originally posted by GlenW View PostWill work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

How many castles/palaces do we have that don't have the Queen: lots. How many are anywhere near as popular as the ones that do: none.Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post
Nearly every nation has palaces, only a few have ones still in use and that attracts people.
The cost of renovating Westminster is more relevant... why not let it fall down and put the MPs in a concrete/glass box?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment
