So far as I can see the only objection to getting rid of the queen is that all those things with "Royal" in their name would sound silly. Try it. Her Majesty's ship Invincible of the Royal Navy has a ring to it, but "Ship" Invincible of the "Navy" is daft.

Otherwise though, its a bit much if we have to keep hold of that prat Charlie just to entertain tourists. All this talk of the Royals not costing anything is total cobblers, where did all this land and stuff that they own "privately" come from, eh? What were they doing, saving their green shield stamps really carefully until they popped down the Co-op one day and found they had enough to buy Cornwall?

Anyway, we have a perfectly good king, King Arthur. He never exactly died, and he is supposed to be the King again in the future at some point, so I say we kick big ears out after Brenda pops her clogs and declare the throne vacant pending Arthur's return from Avalon. Problem solved.
