    Change the structure.

    At the moment, they're structured so that their heads are connected to their shoulders, via their necks. :50:

    I think a fair question would be: Why should we have a royal family? I'd welcome the People's Republic of Britain. It's about time we dropped the great part from our nation's name. It's so pretentious.

    What about Undoubtedly Awesome America or Amazing Austrailia? When you name countries like that it sounds really silly.

    There's a Hun on Rangers' Media who has a William and Kate avatar and when I seen it I thought "what a pathetic * of a man" I mean what has those two wastes of space ever really done for him other than cost him some of his tax money for their big fancy wedding. I hate * like him who don't really know why they support the monarchy. You get * that shout about the tourism money they bring in but how much of that makes its way up here? * all I'd bet.

    Pity it was an anonymous poll. I'd like to know who were the four who voted keep? 4 undercover Huns maybe?

    To those 4 who said keep, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

    I mean, why would we want to get rid of a few fairytale Germans who sit all cosey in a palace living a most luxurious lifestyle, all at the expenses of our dough. I hear it cost Prince Charles a mere £13,000 of taxpayers money to fly on a return flight to Scotland to plant a tree... Good on the ol' chap I say!

    And then there's that little fact that they aren't even royalty of Scotland. Even better!




    Sooner these freeloading * are dumped the better for us all. :50:

    My paternal Grandmother's surname was Stewart before she married my Granda' so I've got more of a claim to the throne of this country than those German tourists...:56:

    The gullible see this as a more ‘down to earth’ future king…

    I see it as part of an ongoing and cynical PR campaign that will only be ramped up as time goes on in order to try to soften the harsh reality of the wealth divide and obscure the irrelevance of the monarchy if/when he gets the throne.

    We need to get rid of this outdated, outmoded and dysfunctional spoilt family. It's similar to the orange order - an institution that clings on to a bygone age for it's own self interests. Hopefully the younger English people (and the silly royalists here in Scotland and Wales as well as the even sillier royalists in NI) eventually come to their senses and do away with the parasites.

    but according to the media they bring in tourists by the millions who spend billions of tourist dollars
    but when you break that ideology down it comes to this.
    tourists flock to engurland to see the royal family ??? well naw, they don't see them, it's not as if they're stoating about the streets of London. so all you can see is the hooses they stay in (sometimes) and the odd castle, so keep the castles and palaces, they're not theirs anyway, and kill off the mooching *.
    on the plus side, you could sell the "Buckingham Palace is haunted by the headless ghosts of prince Charlie and his auld wizzen maw". that would bring in the tourist dollars.

    and yes, killing them by guillotine is an option. certainly worked for the French. :36:

    Would love to see a breakdown of how they bring in millions in tourism. Do you get caught walking about London and go through your finances to prove how much you've spent in relation to the royal family ?

    Such a bullshit excuse that is ridiculously difficult to prove.

    No! Monarchies are a symbol of oppression built upon slavery and give you an insight into how terrible life was hundreds of years ago. The fact that they still exist is a testament to how idiotic most people can be still thinking they serve a purpose. But tourism they say…. If your country is best known for kings and queens then it’s a pretty shallow way to represent your history.

    It’s nothing but an expensive soap opera for people that have nothing else to do
