Queen Elizabeth II is ninety years old today

[willie wacker]

She has remained as Monarch because of her personal popularity and because she has done such a good job over a long period of time.

When she finally goes however I think there will be an intense debate about the Monarchy's future and whether the United Kingdom should be a republic. This debate has already started in some quarters.

No they will keep the Monarch in England for two reason
1. The English love the Monarchy ,plain and simple
2.And the most important reason, It draws in hugh revenue for the economy , it far outstrips her wages

I don't think the present Queen has conquered anybody.
What was once an empire has shrunk considerably under her reign.
Her government would gladly dispose of what is left of it, if they could.

its what she represents, she been reining over 60 years ffs and so is responsible, she still has huge wealth, Queen my backside, i got no respect for any of them,

Some friends of mine over there, asked me to join them for a few days, said that the crack would be 90.

In my eyes too she has done nothing, only ravaged and plundered other countries, There is really no need for her at all, she is just an expense

They say she has even a maid to wipe her , not bad going getting out of that chore for 90 years

I'm sick hearing about her today. The royal family is a fat oversized leech on the British tax payer.

This is my country, that is your country; these are the conceptions of narrow souls ----
To the liberal minded, the whole world is family.

And i am just thinking to myself, Oh fuck of you over privileged, inbred ole cunt ye!

[willie wacker]

This was not the thread I was expecting.


All the shinners must have missed it.


Some people forget that some of the 1916 rebels wanted to maintain the monarchy, like Arthur Griffith for example.
