Some are, but there are sadly lots of cap doffers with foggy brains that buy into this nonsense. Very odd.I think people are less deferential and more challenging of the status quo of the monarchy these days. Time is running out for them, that's for sure and it's a question of when, not if, they cease to be.
I think you’ve proved many times, this isn’t the country for you.bad, he's only some bloke, if we stop football every time an old man has a funeral we will never have any sport again.
Phew BoroMart, you had me worried for a minuteLeft wing bias? WTF, monarchism is famously tied in with right wing and nationalism in this country, always has been. I mean the majority of the senior members of the Queens household are tied to the Tory party as Tory life peers, ex-MPs, and conservative (little c) flag wavers.
EDIT: I've just clicked through to that tweet and it was sarcasm. Spot on
True enoughFair enough, but so did thousands of others, but we don't come to a standstill to honour them individually
No, thats why we have remembrance day and each and every person who served is represented and their memory and service acknowledged. The husband of the queen isn't exactly insignificant, hence it is treated differently. I'm not a massively pro royal fella, but I'm pragmatic and realistic enough to understand this isn't just the passing of any Joe public. I'm not saying wall to wall coverage is necessary, but it's a bit of a stretch of the imagination go expect it to be a mere mention on the news after Jeff from Halifax and his prize winning marrowFair enough, but so did thousands of others, but we don't come to a standstill to honour them individually
Eights day for an old prince and a minutes silence for the 150k dead - there’s balance for you!No, thats why we have remembrance day and each and every person who served is represented and their memory and service acknowledged.

He was a man, no better than you or I. The only difference between him and my grandfather is whose vagina he fell from at birth and which one he was wedded to. In my world that doesn't make someone more 'significant', and I'm still waiting for someone to give me a good reason why it should.No, thats why we have remembrance day and each and every person who served is represented and their memory and service acknowledged.

What would a more suitable balance be in your view???Eights day for an old prince and a minutes silence for the 150k dead - there’s balance for you!
You can choose to remember the fallen in other ways than just a minutes silence if you wishEights day for an old prince and a minutes silence for the 150k dead - there’s balance for you!
Any point you make on this topic, no matter how valid, is greatly smothered by your deliberately crass languageHe was a man, no better than you or I.

YOu can avoid however you like, and it's crass to give public money to someone for such a poor reason. The word vagina isn't crass, that is the one biological difference between me and him, that's it. So why should he be given money, wealth and respect from that one quirk of luckAny point you make on this topic, no matter how valid, is greatly smothered by your deliberately crass language
The lad has a massive chip on his shoulder about something, that’s for sure.Any point you make on this topic, no matter how valid, is greatly smothered by your deliberately crass language

You’re right that he shouldn’t be held responsible for the actions of his relatives, but, what really constitutes doing your “bit” for the country? Did he really set any examples on that front? In my view he just did what was expected of him. He’s neither a hero nor a villain. Sad that he’s died of course, but he had a good innings and I’m sure his family are grateful of that.He couldn't help what his cousins did though could he? And lets's face it, Whether you are a Royalist or not, he did his bit for our country.
Without doubt, and he's got smalltown syndrome: he's right and everyone else is wrong. A complete and abject failure to understand not all people think like him and nor do are they have such pent up anger at something they cannot influence in any way.
