SectionDJambo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think too many people have been boarding the Rule Britannia train down south. Any deviation from the expected route that the train takes is met with anger and disbelief. Wait until Johnny Foreigner doesn’t get aboard during the Brexit trade discussions. I’m no big fan of any of the Royals, apart from the Queen, who has had to front a family who have constantly caused her problems, and been a steady, diligent and respectful constant in an up and down post war UK. But, in my opinion, the angst and vitriol shown to this couple, wanting to make a life of their own, away from a situation he was born into, is borderline crazy. They maybe haven’t helped their situation either, but many of these people, spitting feathers over them, seem to have the notion that they own them. Howling about the money they’ll make on their association with the Royal brand, but quite happy to help social media giants trawl up billions by their constant use, or pump money into media people like Cowell, by phoning up votes for excruciatingly bad talent shows.

Brexit is an interesting one for me now. On the one hand, there´s a small part of me that hopes that UK Gov sees the sense in not self isolating economically in the middle of what will be a global recession bordering on depression after Covid 19 emergency is gone. That they will see its better to be cooperative and collaborative. While I fear it will only embolden the tories that the world "Needs Britain" and their belief every country in economic hardship will just open the door to the UK for investment. If that doesnt happen and the UK refuses as it is now to extend the negotiating period, we are not just going to go off a cliff, but off the side of the Eiger. As for the Royals, Im not a fan of the family or the concept. I do agree though the Queen has been an excellent servant of the country over a long period of time. I would like to think the outdated notion of a family ruling due to birthright may end when her time on the throne ends, but then again, it is any worse than the House of Lords? I think Id abolish that before Id be looking at the monarchy. 300 quid a day for life to have a snooze isnt sustainable in any right thinking democracy.

That's a decision for the British people to make, not foreigners. But when one considers that their private wealth is a result of some ancestor having fought for/against a particular monarch, imposing 100% death duties in the 21st century doesn't seem that unfair. But, as I say, that's for the people to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
