    Ecky thump… Pandas back :shock: … Welcome back oh furry one :D

    Have to say Im a royalist… I like the continuity of having a royal family and I think we gain more than it costs us in having them…. a republic wouldn’t offer any additional benefits as a society…. and it would cost just as much.

    As far as packs are concerned its true whether we like it or not we are all in them to a greater of lesser extent… just posting on these boards confirms that.

    Well, I’m not going to say too much on this one (I’m sure you’ll be glad to know lol), as I’m not a citizen / subject / living – working – paying tax there Britishy / United Kingdomy / Commonwealthy kinda persony person as it were (gasp.. wheeze)..
    BUT.. One would think at the very least the electorate should be granted an opportunity to engage in and come to a decision on such a debate?
    No?
    Or would a referendum be a waste of time and money?

    Ps Welcome back Citizen..
    Wolfie Panda :wink:

    I’m not a royalist especially after seeing how the ‘commoners’ that have married into the royal family have been treated but……..times are hard at the moment and I would like to think that the top royals are promoting our country all over the world.

    I don’tlike the term ‘pack’ – it’s too uniform, too conforming.

    A lot of peeps love to conform..a lot love to lead packs of conformers, and a lot love to be led..but many of us don’t.

    We also belong to several groups, usually at the same time – churches, societies, families, pubs and clubs, chatgroups (I prefer group to pack) and political/economic groups.

    Hereditary monarchy is quite rare now, and where it does exist it’s almost entirely ceremonial. Replacing the ceremony wiht a more republican ceremony strikes me as a waste of time..not worth thinking about…an 18th century battlecry, when monarchy had some degree of power (and it was fading even then – Britain was called ‘a crowned republic’ in 1720 – a country of fractious citizens proud of their liberty with a constituional king – very different from the despotisms in Europe and Asia at the time. Now we have republican despotisms like China and Iran; and plutocratic republics like the USA, where hundreds of millions of dollars spent by a few in return for favours buy an election.

    We have more pressing problems…
