[Debate] Is the Royal family bad?

[Defence]

I'm no fan of our royal family for many many reasons. Here are just some

- The monarchy is exempt from freedom of information laws - basically they can do as they please. Influence politics, take more from the tax payer etc in secrecy unlike politicians and civil servants who have to be accountable for how they spend PULIC MONEY. How the fck is that tolerated is beyond me!

- The total cost of the monarchy is more than £200m every year. We pay for everything. Including their constant personal travels because they say they are "always on duty". Will and Waity have moved into several grand abodes, re doing each one before getting bored and moving to the next.

- The Queen and Prince Charles can veto bills that affect their interest (Before parliament can debate a bill that's likely to affect the “hereditary revenues, personal property or other interests” of either the Queen or Prince Charles (in his role as Duke of Cornwall), their explicit permission must be obtained).

They have the British media up their arse too. There's no democracy here. Just half way between absolute monarchy and the alternative

Yep they are beyond privileged who use a blood line (full of shitty people) to live their luxurious life style. Why people put up with this is just ...........

Imagine being a king of anywhere back in the day though. Those lucky bastards.

Yeah, but a lot of royal families suffered from diseases/conditions and if the people successfully rebel you are screwed.

It's just old tradition hanging around I guess. The English family is hella lucky, they didn't get the Russian Rev. treatment

I feel like I'd be a good king.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Inadvertently yes.

The Royal family in Britain is very bad. A couple of months ago I was playing a game of Giant chess with this British guy at the university. The dude kept humping the Queen and was acting very defensive when we asked him to stop his unseemly behaviour because we weren't in Britain. I guess that's a prime example of what a lethal combination of brainwashing and leeching does to your citizens. :bdpf:
