The Queen / The Monarchy

[jowwy]

Do you think this a reasonable time to discuss the future of the Monarchy, if not when will be?

By discussion. I would hope that there would be less of the self-indulgent 'humourous' jibes and regurgitated tweets, that add nothing of substance.

I have no issue with the monarchy, so your asking the wrong person….as for the last part, this is naca, not a church

Comedy and humour have always been important political weapons.

The future of the monarchy is not the only important discussion here.
It's also interesting to observe and discuss the role of the media (both mainstream and social media) since reporting has changed beyond all recognition since the last time a monarch died. And yes, sharing memes, jokes and tweets that highlight the ridiculous excesses is part of that.

No point discussing something that wont change in my lifetime…and maybe many others on here.

Its just another place for clowns to past stupid memes, pictures, tweets and any other bullshit they spend their days searching for.

So this is basically a 2nd anti-monarchy thread…..as if one wasnt enough

Feel free to toddle off and start your own 'I Love The Taste Of Royal Boot' thread, dear.

It's everyone's forum, after all.

We went out for the day to the Peak District with the kids. Driving out there was a fair amount of traffic. Parking at Mam Tor was a nightmare and there were crowds of people trying to get up the path. TBH I found it all rather inappropriate. I thought it would be nice and quiet with everyone staying at home so it all felt pretty disrespectful. Even the ice cream van was open which I don't think was entering into the sombre spirit of the occasion, although by the time we got there the queue had gone down.

You’re bang on the money here. It would take a lot from parliamentary members to turn us into a republic nation. I’m having a wild guess at least 65% support the monarchy. I supported Liz but not such a fan of the whole institution. It maybe 100 years or so before it’s ever scrapped & possibly may just keep going on until the end of humanity. We can all piss & moan but we will be dead and they will live on.

That begs so many questions.

Maybe you missed the part in the news were they stated nothing needed to be closed, it was upto individual business to do what they felt appropriate…..

Doesn't it just. Honestly the downright disrespect these people seem to have for the monarchy.
