???? Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm pretty nuetral on it all but to be honest I'm mainly glad it's all over so we can escape the rather posed and tedious 'republican' moaning of the last few days Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23748-jubilee-weekend/page/5/#findComment-550384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodrot Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I am a big fan of old style Royalty. The Czar for example - he had the good grace & foresight to assemble his extended family together to enable an easy execution. Our lot should take a leaf out of his book.

the-e-dealer Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Execution is too much of a Monarchy type Punishment. In a republic we are all citizens including Queeny and entitled to our lives. They'd probably want to move away but if not I suggest we give them a house to live in.

Loz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You do realise that, even if Liz had the crown removed tomorrow and had all the crown estate taken from her, she would still be stinking rich. She owns Balmoral Castle personally for a start. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23748-jubilee-weekend/page/5/#findComment-550418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodrot Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Proceeds of crime act 2002This allows for the confiscation of assets that have have accrued via the machinations of a criminal act. The Empire was a criminal organisation, involved in genocide and theft on a global scaleThis act should be enforced to ensure the royals do not benefit from the actions of the original Evil Empire.

Loz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Actually, that's not true. George V changed the family surname from Wettin to Windsor in 1917. The dynasty was called House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and that was changed to House of Windsor at the same time.Elizabeth II's real surname is, and always has been, Windsor. Though she should really be Mountbatten-Windsor by marriage, she decided to keep 'Windsor'. Anyway, I always find that comment (and it's hardly new) more than a teensie bit racist. It's a bit like asking a black person born in Britain, "where are you *really* from". Or assuming someone whose grandparents were Chinese would speak Cantonese.

Hmmm.And why did they change? Well, as I said, they changed it in 1917. What was the big news story that year?

DulwichFox Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Whilst on the subject of Racism let us take a look at The Union Jack. Symbol of Empire and Imperialism. Of Oppression and adopted by ultra right wing extreem groups of Racists. It is outdated and has no place in this day and age.. In 1606, the first Union Jack flag was created by merging the English flag (the red cross of Saint George) with the Scottish flag (the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew on a blue background). Then, in 1801, the addition of Ireland to the United Kingdom added the Irish flag to the flag (the red Saint Patrick's cross). And with Scotland on the verge of Independence, the flag may soon have to go.. Fox.
