I'm not saying we're better. I'm discussing ideas. Why do you have to make it a competition between UK VS. USA every time i discuss UK politics? You always act like I'm attacking you personally whenever I have an opinion about UK politics.

There are plenty of British people on here that show opinions about US politics, but I'm not allowed to have opinions about UK politics?

It seems you didn't learn anything from the thread we had on the royal family last year where you displayed how ill informed you are about the royal family and what they actually do in the modern day.

how much did the country spend on the celebrations for the royal family and that ridiculous floatilla in the rain? how much did the country spend. Cause i doubt very much the Queen paid for that. and how many people are going hungry, and suffering, that the tories are saying we should cut their benefits.

How much did YOU spend on watching the Queen float down the river???

and how many people voted for her to be your Queen? zero.

Lmao. Do you realise how much money the Royal family generates and has to pay back into government?

You could always find that older thread and refresh your memory.

Edit - Voted for the Queen? Is that supposed to be a serious argument? She holds no actual active power anymore so it's not an issue.

No I don't have a clue, tell me. How much money does the royal family give to the government? I would love to hear the actual number.

We hear a lot about Kate's tits getting photographed, but we never really hear who is paying for her to be on those French beaches.

I'd really like to know who is paying for the royals to be on these vacations, Harry in Vegas, Kate in the souoth of France. who is paying for these paparazzi fests?

remind me again what is Kate's income? What is WIlliams's income? How are they affording these lavish holidays?

Well if you don't know the answer then your argument is flawed from the start. Do a bit of research.

They arn't my royals. you are the one defending them, so you tell me.

You can't tell me, cause you don't know, do you?

:conf: YOU are the one making silly claims, so the ball is on your court to back up your statements.

I'm not doing your research for you, I don't need to.

I think the queen will stay on until the end. The only way she will abdicate is if she's too ill to continue to do her duty.

Alex, millions of people stood to watch that "ridiculous flotilla in the rain". No one made them, they chose to. I guess if you're not a Brit you're not going to understand why.

I understand why. It's called Patriotism/nationalism.

I understand. It's just annoying when Brits make fun of Americans for being patriotic when they are just the same.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

When have Brits mocked Americans for being patriotic?

get real.

well you american's let an actor become president who quoted film's, like dont push me from rambo:joker:

Wow, what a well thought out post. You have opened my mind to so many things.

Which hypocrisy are you pointing out? That some people don't like patriotism and have an opinion on the Americans and then some other people from the same country are patriotic. That's not hypocrisy, that's different people with different opinions.

the only thing that could open your mind is a hatchet.

This is 100% true.

She's a tough old dear who is going nowhere soon.

It must be weird how she gets diarrhoea and it's front page news.

I'm surprised that rubbishy jubilee charade didn't make her more ill...paraded round in the rain? poor liz :(

Delightful as always.

I get the impression from her that she's there until she dies really. She just seems like that kind of person.

They're little more than a tourist attraction. It's absurd really to keep up such an archaic tradition when a Presidential Republic would allow proper representation of the people, but it's a tradition that's in for the long haul really. The majority of people over here love the Royals too much to see them go.
