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.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
