None of these are remotely like the Monarchy, all these other things provide leisure or entertainment at a reasonable cost.

Sounds like the monarchy to me. How many viewed the royal wedding, how many went to London to see it first-hand?

Damn right. In the quest for efficiency we should also:

• Remove all funding for sportsmen
• Tear down all the theaters and cinemas
• Knock down old buildings and monuments to create affordable housing
• Build on all London's parks - what a waste of space
• Ban reading of fiction and listening to music

It's outrageous how much money and time is wasted on unimportant things, it could all be spent on baby life support systems and bobbies on the beat.

How DARE they earn more than us, that's just not 'fair'.

WHS, especially if it means getting rid of paying footballers those stupid salaries they supposedly earn

About time the whole monarchy crap ended, its pointless and a waste of money.

Once the awful Prince of Daftness ascends to the throne republican sentiment will rocket in the UK. With all his misuse of influence and privilege, the bloke is an utter arse.

Maybe, since even us republicans quite like the queen, she should stay queen. We could have her stuffed and mounted on the throne. Tourists could pay £25 for a view.

Perhaps that's why she has stayed as queen for so long

Just as well republicans have got no say in the matter then.

They bring lots of tourists in - I reckon they are a money making machine!

Speak the Queen's English, boy!

You'd think the Queen could afford some Picolax

[Sysman]

Its one hell of a case of diarrhoea.

What do you really expect if you are the Empress of India.

Yeah, I know India got independence before Elisabeth came to the throne.

Perhaps it runs in the family?

(No disrespect to ER II intended, couldn't resist)

[Doggy Styles]

Too right.

I swore allegiance to the Queen many years ago and never has it faltered, gawd bless her
