I totally agree... Diana was Humane..


I don't think she much like the big Royal Hunting thing either.


It was very sad when she died.. and the world was a worst place for it..

A point on costs of the Monarchy.


Back in 18th century King George III (?) swapped entitlement a whole bunch of assets now known as the Crown Estates for guaranteed funding from Government, which became the Civil List. This carried on for a couple of centuries until 2011 when the Sovereign Grant was established - this pays a % (not sure how much but I understand less than 10%) of the income generated by the Crown Estates to fund the Monarchy.


So rather than being funded out of 'our' taxes as so many tiresome republicans claim the Monarchy is self funding and , in addition, generates a tidy surplus for government funds.


On the whole, given most countries require a ceremonial head of state, ours aren't too bad. They keep lots of people employed in writing gossip columns and speculation, attract tourists and are far cheaper than any presidential system could ever be.


If you get the chance go see King Charles III - excellent, and strangely believable, satire.

    • Can someone please explain who "one Dulwich" are?
    • We are actually referred to as "Supporters"...2,100 of us across Dulwich...read and weep! 😉   https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters   Got it, the one where 64% of respondents in the consultation area said they wanted the measures "returned to their original state". Is that the one you claim had a yes/no response question?   Well I suggest you read up on it as it is an important part of the story of utter mismangement by the councils and this is why so many of us can't work out who is pulling the council's strings on this one because surely you can agree that if the emergency services were knocking on your door for months and months telling you the blocks in the roads were delayihg response times and putting lives at risk you'd do something about it? Pretty negligent not to do so don't you think - if I was a councillor it would not sit well with me?   Careful it could be a Mrs, Miss or Mx One.....   Of course you don't that's because you have strong opinions but hate being asked for detail to.back-up those opinions (especially when it doesn't serve their narrative) and exposes the flaws in your arguments! 😉  As so many of the pro-LTN lobby find to their cost the devil is always in the detail.....
    • Really?  I'm sorry to hear that. What did you order?
