Yep, I agree totally Tuffstuff, the Royal Family is an affront to our democracy and should be removed post haste.
Interesting viewpoint. This was why the English (and Scots) re-installed King Charles II during the restoration.

We tried being a republic and only suceeded in becoming one of the worlds first semi-elected dictatorships. I, like some of my countrymen, really couldn't give a toss about Madge and her dysfunctional brood....however the alternative is much, much worse.

One has only to look across the Atlantic to see what we might end up with. If you feel happy with a 'President Bliar' or a 'President Prescott' or even (God forbid) a 'President Cherie' then you must have partaken of some strong psychotropic drugs ....and they have a written constitution to protect them. We dont.

No, loath them or hate them....Charlie, Camilla, Phil the Greek, Madge and the rest of the motley crew are here to stay....
