True, Tina Turner has done so much for this country and her service to the commonwealth should never be forgotten.

Id suggest much of the commonwealth preferred Tina Turner

I quite like the idea of royalty

Which bit

The insane wealth
The disgusting avarice
Or the unelected accountability based on birth.

Yes love that bit

I've always had a bit of a downer on Tina since I was marched out of school and forced to wait several hours for her to cut the ribbon on the Billingham Forum in 1967. Quite what the hell Ike was doing in that naval uniform I have no clue.

Did a lot for the area did Tina. South Cleveland Garages wouldn't have had anything like the success they did without her.

All this guff about ‘oh I’d rather have a king/queen than an elected president coz you end up with trump’

If you have a proper written constitution you avoid any president over reaching. You can also have a proportional voting system that means no single party or individual has a total monopoly on power

It seems to work for most other countries - some even retain a royal family.

You just need to stop living in the past, doffing your cap and being told it can’t change

I am sure the queen would have wanted us all to live just like her.
Good healthcare
Universal Basic Income
Good social housing

I don’t think making jokes is appropriate my friend. I’m still grieving here.

Understandable. he had a rarely bettered vocal range.

Didn’t baldrick from blackadder figure out that we had the wrong royal family?

They are parasitic, racist, inbred morons.

They are also delusional as well

King Charles signals first explicit support for research into monarchy’s slavery ties

Buckingham Palace makes public statement after Guardian presents evidence of royals’ long history of involvement in transatlantic trade

www.theguardian.com

Did the monarchy have any links to slavery, yes we need a commission to look into that one.

Here’s a clue charlie look up the word empire. You basically created the slave trade.

I honestly thought this was a joke when I first heard it.

They are a product of the goldfish bowl we put them in. All the nonsense about "service" and "duty" is just the lies we tell them reflected back at us. We make them feel entitled by telling them that they are.

I honestly believe that the monarchy is as bad for those imprisoned within it as it is for the country. The real benefactors are the others who maintain their positions in influence and privilege almost as a by product of the monarchy. The monarchy as an institution enables those who just want to make sure that wealth and privilege do not become transitory that we do not become meritocratic. Keep us "scum" in our places.

It's a lovely lie with some nice flags and songs and we get to feel all superior to Johnny Foreigner whilst our "betters" rob us as they have always done.
