It's time this lot went....

exactly, special treatment, political, financial and social for life based on which vagina you fell out of, I mean how ridiculous

Not heard it put like that before, I’m going to use that in future

Okay but in what way does any of that invalidate them being hangers on or benefitting from their inherited wealth or whatever it was you were arguing against earlier? You and ST were trying to imply they were just self made art dealers no? Maybe we could all be self made millionaires if we had a country estate to flog and one of the Queens spare houses to live in for 20 years? That's a good starting point, no?

What is she hanging on with exactly, this 16 year old?

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

It's this but reversed

"they're self made! It's not like the queen gave her mam a house"

"it says here the queen gave her nan a house to live in?"

"exactly it's not like it was her mam!"

Again, the queen leased them a house. She didn’t give them one. Or just say here you go, knock yourself out.

the opportunities given to those families that have wealth, power and influence handed to them. Lets be honest if she was born in a council estate or even to a modest middle class family, she wouldn't have had those jobs.

Ok you win. Let’s all just become communists

I think we established they don't have a country estate. So how are they "hangers on"?

Everyone should have the chance to prove they are capable of undertaking any job.

Yet the Head of State, the highest office to which anyone can aspire, is still the reigning monarch. Its time for this anachronistic process to be dismantled.

There's plenty of capitalists that are republicans, but I've only ever heard of one communist monarchist.

 

[Trug]

well here is a bit more to think about.

Now you're talking sense

I don't really care about these Kents. As I said earlier, having a monarchy is a problem because of reasons independent of the specific individuals involved. I was merely having a chuckle at your link saying the exact opposite of what you yourself had just told us, that's all.

Ok you win. Let’s all just become communists

If you think the only alternative to allowing the elite to run away with their wealth and power is communism then you are more lost than most.

By communism do you mean, privileges that accompanied social or official positions and were acquired with the help of such positions, giving the chosen few access to social and economic benefits, which were completely or mostly unattainable for the rest of the people?

It’s Belgium, all the cars are likely to be at a standstill because they’ve crashed into each other

one things for certain, If the defendants of Queen Vic played Kirby it would be an Olympic sport by now.

The French had the right idea

He wasn't wrong, the issue is by implementing communism you make a new bourgeoisie, the committee that runs the government in the communist country. They are both extreme ideologies, the best solution is to take parts of both extremist systems.
