If you click on the sick bag you can see that it says "throne up" at the top :))

Is being a republican the same thing as being "lefty"?. Eg Oliver Cromwell, Nicolas Sarkozy, Presidents of the US (various)?


Several members of the Royal family are on the left of the current government anyway. Charles is against food monopolies and speculation on food prices, he would def be a vg thing at Defra, and Her Maj the Queen I'm sure would stop short of leaving the sick and elderly out on hillsides to die, which is pretty much the way we seem to be going.

Actually royal residences where there are no more royals (Tower of London) make a lot more money and are cheaper to run than the ones taken up by the royals. And people really come out for beheadings as well as weddings. Could you imagine the merchandise?


And that .62 a person a year isn't all it costs you. The real price tag is much higher. 'Although the Palace never discusses security or includes it in its annual balance sheet, the cost of protecting the Royal Family is said to be almost ?100 million a year'(That's a quote from the Times). The greater cost is the fact our children will never grow up with a possibility of being head of state. They will be asked to look up to the current crop of royals, a pretty sad lot, completely out of touch.


Too bad another family can't take it off them. One that is actually British would be an improvement.


If we really wanted to save some money we get a real head of state. They could surrender all the state gifts, and move into a council house, or perhaps just buy their own houses. It's not like they couldn't afford it.


From the sound of things on this forum, a Republican party on May 1 might not only be more popular; it might be a lot more fun.

Re: Lordship Lane street party for Royal Wedding?

Tell you what Sue I'll start the ball rolling.


I'll pony up several big tubs of M&S deli coleslaw, a dozen M&S baguettes, various M&S dips, let's say half a dozen litre packs of M&S juices (even unto mandarin orange) and a good selection of M&S cold meats.


If that don't put a smile on the po-faced middle-class republican contingent, then I'm jiggered to know what will.

But if she wants a street party, why doesn't she organise one?


Nobody here is stopping her as far as I can see, and some people seem to like the idea.


ETA: However if she just thinks it would be a nice idea but wants someone else to do all the work, then that's a different thing ....

Coming into this thread really late on(!)


Is anyone up for having a street paty on Upland Road? Even if you are not a Royalist, we have a day off so why not make the most of it.


I think the deadline for accplications to the council is tomorrow (march 17th)....

Hi lordshilass,

Deadline is tomorrow to apply to the council - this is due to the legal requirement for advertise any road closures and check with emergecny services that they don't have a problem with anything proposes. This latter point is even more important is several roads plan to close on the same day.

This from the Islington Gazette:


http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/features/do_we_really_need_to_have_a_right_royal_knees_up_1_811135


It seems that Islington council haven't received a single application for a street party that weekend, despite waving the standard fee it costs to close a street i.e ?3,200.


Seems as though a lot of people just aren't up for it.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
