If only the English were more like this.

I am not English, and will never in my life understand or comprehend HOW people (it's esp down there), can fawn and simper over a Germanic family of inbred, pampered, ill deserving, and very probably criminal toffs, toffs that would not even spit on them were they on fire.

It staggers me. I just do not get it and never will.

I don't care if they "bring tourists to London". I don't care for the false financial arguments, since I went through it all two years ago and proved that they cost far more than they generate(in reality, not what the pro royal family press print). I do care that they are literally above all laws. I do care that their position is hereditary. I do care that their essence is sectarian, given that it is anti Catholic by definition. I do care that they are not transparent and accountable.

We are not 'subjects'. Man alive, just chew that term over. A 'subject'. We are people. And this is OUR country.

But no matter how bad things get, no matter how much things go to ruin here, it seems that there is a rigid idiocy that exists, like I say, I would argue that most of it exists in certain parts of England, and, of course, the fawning media.

And the Spanish think they have cause for complaint!

**

Thousands of Spaniards have taken to the streets of the capital to protest against the country’s monarchy.


The march was held on Saturday in Madrid, where people called for the abdication of King Juan Carlos, an end to the monarchy and an establishment of a republic.

Protesters walked with banners reading, “Checkmate to the King,” and chanted, “Tomorrow, Spain will be a Republic.”

Critics consider the monarchy to be illegal since it was appointed by General Francisco Franco.

Meanwhile, King Juan Carlos denied on September 20 rumors that he was planning to abdicate after announcing that he was to have his eighth operation in just over three years.

The royal family has also been hit with a number of scandals, leading to a noticeable drop in public confidence in the monarchy.

Outrage about the monarch’s lifestyle was triggered last year after King Juan broke his leg during an expensive elephant-hunting trip in Botswana while the recession-hit country was grappling with an unemployment rate of 26 percent.

The royal family drew further criticism when the king’s son-in-law Inaki Urdangarin appeared in court in February and was accused of embezzling millions of euros of public funds paid in contracts to a company he managed several years ago. His wife, Princess Cristina, was summoned to testify in a hearing over the corruption case.

Princess Cristina and her children moved to Switzerland in August following the corruption scandal in a bid to draw away attention from the royal family. However, it backfired after reports revealed the high cost of her living there.

The latest official census published by Spain’s Center for Sociological Research in May showed that the monarchy’s popularity had hit an unprecedented low level of 36.8 percent.

I say that if immigrants don't like being Royal subjects and hate God, King and Country, they should move somewhere else more to their liking rather than whining about it like clowns. There are clowns in the US that whine constantly about this country and I often wonder why they ever came here if they hate it so much.

Native born clowns that hate their governments and are a distinct minority should just pack up their pathetic belongings and move elsewhere. They will be happier and the places they leave will be happier once they are gone.

 

The Germanic inbreds are the immigrants.

And there is no 'king'.

 

The thing I have noticed that those who complain most, usually are not motivated to do anything to change whatever it is they are complaining about

 

Here's what to do.

Watch the vid.

And then comment.

How about that?

 

Was I talking to you?

 

The english themselves are germanic for heaven's sake..

The english people has always been a monarchy, and it ties them to their heritage and past in a way that no other institution can. A neutral head of state like a king can unite a nation like no elected official can. To take away the monarchy would be to tear apart british culture and tradition, and to take away a fine institution that has more or less defined the people. There's really no good reason to abolish the monarchy in my view.

 

Actually that depends, are those dictators denying the quality of Human Life? Because I personally believe in Social Darwinism, do you think that everyone's destined to lead? That everyone "has the same skillset". IMO, even if we do all have the same skillsets, we have it at completely different levels. The problem with the Kings, or another way of saying it is the leaders of Industry isn't so much that there's leadership, in fact humanity has long aspired for and needed leadership.

The problem and it has been a problem for the dawn of time, is whether or not that rulership or leadership is benevolent or malevolent.

If more leaders in general were like this, regardless of title the world would be a better place.

 

Well the English did try not having a monarch for a while, didn't like it and reinstated Royal succession

 

Christian monarchy is not better than Muslim dictatorship ?

 

Both are preferred over putting some lunatic like Franco back in the seat

 

the constitutional monarchies are better system than republics because they are able to introduce a long run point of view than a republic system hardly can have.

 

Jack , I understand your sentiments Scots will soon be able to choose their political future and presumably their head of state. .

Between the age of 17 to round abt 26 , I think I was an anti-monarchist, but since then , have taken note of the sort of characters who've been elected as Heads of State in all of the world's Republics, I really cant think of which other system would be ideal for our country.

I 'd dread for our present system to be replaced by anything remotely similar to the Americans./ French/Italians/ or the Germans.

Looks like we might just have the best out of a bad lot.

Do you have idea how much US taxpayers are paying America's former (retired ) presidents + their wives/widows ? Some cost/ earn more after serving their term than while they were in office.


btw - While I've been raised to think of myself as English - i.e. early C of E schooling , according to an elderly aunt with more money than sense ,she paid for a family - Genealogy + Parish records search . showing that our family is Irish/Welsh/Scottish (Glaswegian) plus a Huguenot + god alone what else .

 

What "culture", "heritage" and "traditions" are you referring to and how is it relevant to the culture, heritage and traditions that constitute the mass of the UK population? Jack and me, are curious.

 

Gratitude doesn't last very long. The Spanish monarchy was crucial in facilitating the transition from Franco's dictatorship to the current democratic constitution and the King personally was instrumental in stopping a coup attempt before it could really get going. I guess this is another case of "what have you done for me lately".

 

Morris Dancing? BTW, Germanics have deep roots in the UK since the invasions of the Saxons and Angles. I suppose one can only (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) if one is a full blooded Pict who had those large, oafish Celts steal their land.

 

Yes, and how pathetically sad is that....LOL.

 

Having stated what you consider to be bad,
Which sort of system would you suggest / recommend ? would it be a Christian/Jewish/Buddhist etc . dictatorship ?

IMO - there's no point in bltching about something if you cant provide a solution , is there ?


...

 

I hear you Bonnie, I wouldn't put my trust in any of those degenerates either!

 

English are German. Is this your position? Besides, even if the queen were born in Stoke, it would not ace my other valid points.

 

It's anti Catholic.

By definition.

How can anyone in authority in this country speak about 'bigotry' when the monarchy itself is bigoted.

Something to ponder...

- - - Updated - - -

Like what?

 

No.

We won't.

Apparently this part has already been assumed, which is part of the reason I have no respect for the campaign.

 

Anglo Saxon is Germanic. Norman is FRENCH. Celts are a bunch of drunk and angry people that can't spell....see Welsh.

 

The royal families name before Windsor was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (German). The name was adopted by King George V in 1917 due to the negative German sentiment that was prevalent in the UK during and after the First World War.

Plenty of countries manage fine without a pampered and inbred family of toffs as head of state.

And yes, I would sooner be able to elect one. At least you can elect them back out. Also, no head of state should be literally above the law.

 

Hasn't the british all been about fighting for god, king and country for the last hundred years? I'm of course referring to the english and british cultures, which has had a monarchy since time immemorial. It's simply foolish to propose that a form of government that has literally been with a people since the stone ages hasn't had any imprint on the culture.

Wow, Jack, calm down. This is maybe going to blow your mind but.. Germanic isn't the same thing as german. It is in fact a ethno-linguistic category, to which both english and german, as well as swedish, belong.

Perhaps some slight adjustments are needed, but not an abolition.
