Seems that despots & long serving royal parasites are so last century judging by current events. Time to sort out the Royal once & for all ?


No crude executions though - just the stripping of all their stolen assets and then being cast out into the cold world of benefits and Local authority housing.


I personally would like to drown each one of them in a bucket of their own urine for the pain & suffering their ancestors have caused the world, but maybe I shouldnt blame the offspring for the sins of their fathers.


Present me with arguments why they should be retained.If your proposed response contains lines like " Tourism" and "only 18p a year from each of us to fund them", then you are excluded from entering.

Without the Royals as head of state we would have some political tosser as head of state.


"President Blair"? No thanks.


Our current position means that we have an entirely powerless Head of State, which is an entirely satisfactory situation.


Who else has a President? France, USA, Syria, Italy and a bunch of other basket case economies and bad sorts. Do we wish to join that club? No.


God Save the Queen and all who sail in her!!

The pain and suffering caused by the ancestors of the current monarchy is minimal when compared to the pain and suffering caused by political / religious zealots in the last 100 years alone.


The current system of a friendly figure head with no political power and a parliament that is, gradually, cleaning up its act seems infinitely preferable to most other arrangements across the world.


As to their alleged parasitic nature - they have their own inherited wealth and are thus no better / worse than many other wealthy Britons, the hypothetical 18p a day is the cost of the Civil List paid from the Exchequer in return for the Exchequer receiving the proceeds from the Crown Estate - a system that has been in place for (I think) over two centuries and which works massively in favour of the Exchequer and thus the country and its subjects (or citizens if you prefer).


Finally a desire to drown anyone in a bucket of their own urine is bizarre and suggests a need to go away, lie down and think of something peaceful - or to get back on the medication.

Of course they should be put out of their misery. The idea that we should curtsey to the Queen is repulsive. Really p!isses me off.


Yes and the whole lack of democracy aspect and all the other reasons that are usually cited. But it is this idea that we should bow to them that really irks.

I know I ought to be herding them to a staging-point at Beachy Head and then marching them - single file - over the edge.. but for some reason I'm quite fond of the inbred slack-jawed halfwits.


If nothing else, we should keep them for sheer comedy value - and to annoy The Scotch.


And 'keep' is the operative word. They are, after all, our bitches.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
