all i am saying is that when the queen dies that the royal family public duties should die with her,and we then set up a republic,after all the royal family is after all desended from the german line off succesion,ie the house of gotha sax-coburg and also the russian royal family,not exactly british are they,the name was changed to windsor when george Vth was king,before the start of WW 1,and even now if the surname is windsor why is william and harry last name wales,as thats a heredatory title ie prince of wales,even in australia they are thinking about doing something like this. dont get me wrong the queen has done a great job but myself i think its time for a change as the UK has been a monarchy since 846 A.D (ie ruled by kings or queens)
queen's speech
- Thread starter MargaretR
- Start date
Thanks for the history lesson and informing use all just what a monarchy is, gosh we'd never have known
If you prefer not to live in a country ruled by a Monarch, why not emigrate and become a citizen of a Republic or somewhere similar, such as North Korea or Iran????????????
Two wonderful places for the discerning republican Berrie
No you're not ! Lets take a few choice phrases from your first outburst :-
get rid off this family of sponging wasters,and make this country a republic & SHOOT THEM ALL NOW
Somewhat different don't you agree Monsewer Napoleon ? Everyone is entitled to an opinion & it does help if you balance it out with some thought out argument to accompany that opinion, otherwise your comments will simply be construed as an incoherent rant.
Could let you into a secret but will let Barrie impart the good news

I think I understand your comment, but perhaps you would like to explain it to me in detail - face to face, wherever you would like to meet.
Come on Less, lost for words - for a change????????
Anytime you like, perhaps in the Railway? It would make a nice change for you to come in there and talk to us lesser members.
After all this is the Queens Speech thread & you have been announced as making yet another wonderful proclamation.
Never lost for words just wonder-struck at your infantile attitude.
The queen isn't British ?
Her grandsons in the forces aren't British ?
Prince Andrew who fought in the Falklands isn't British ?
Strange that ain't it JCB, the little pakistani down the road was born here and he's British, yet the queen her sons and daughter and her grandchildren were all born in this country yet some divvy says they're not British, very very strangeThe queen isn't British ?

She's a perfect British lady and her British grandsons William and Harry are an example to the young ones of today .
As far as the queen is concerned , even the Australians voted for her to remain their monarch in a referendum .
Long may she reign .
