O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[PedroTheFisherman66]

Please leave the Queen out of your comments - she has shown the world what leadership is all about.

Has she.? How.?! It seems she has been just another one of Boris's puppets amongst other things.

There is just no point in trying to explain the value of the Monarchy to those who don’t get it - so I won’t.

Oh go on, please. My bet is it’ll be something, tourism, something else, they’re not all entitled nonces, gawd bless her majesty.

[BigFatPie]

Not in our lifetime

Yeah I’d have thought that once, but Elizabeth Windsor’s protection of her loathsome son, and the prospect of old sausage fingers getting the top gig will lose them support quicker than you can say the Republic of Great Britain.

God forbid we ever get rid of the Monarchy - Would you be happy with ‘President Boris’ or even ‘President Starmer”

But don’t fret pet, you and your cronies are just a bunch of old tossers - it will never happen

Is that the case you were going to make? People who make that pretty pathetic argument have almost invariably voted for Prime Minister Johnson and for the triumph that is Brexit too.

It’s quite simple, we vote a president in whoever that may be and if they’re rubbish we vote them out. How do we get rid of King Charles if he continues to do what he’s always done and stick his nose in where it’s not wanted? I suppose there’s the French or Russian option, but that seems a bit vulgar for the Brits.

I bet Charles works harder than you fatty.
Not a massive fan of the Royal family but much prefer them to a president.

[Mapperleypie]

I wonder what Charlie Dick Fingers makes per hour for his 'hard work'? Do you think the NI rise is going to affect him?

I have no idea what BFP does in comparison to Charles, but I think your definition of "hard work" might differ from mine. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a typical working day for Charles would consist of being woken up with breakfast, then being chauffeur driven to an engagement where he has to say a few words or declare something open, maybe shake a few hands and then enjoy a gourmet lunch before being driven home. When he gets home, he will have his dinner cooked for him then maybe he has to flick through some paperwork before bed.

Most people have to do a days work then go home and do more work, such as cooking, cleaning, maintaining the house etc. Compare their wage to what Charles is given by the taxpayer, and forgive me if my heart doesn't bleed for him.

[i961pie]

He may have many priviliges but I wouldn't want to be him, it sounds great but I would rather decide for myself what I do or where I go at any given time. How boring going from one event to another shaking hands with strangers and making small talk etc. No thanks.
By the way I am not bothered one way or another if we have a monarchy or not.

I'd be interested to hear if you would be happy for your family doctor to pass on his practice to his eldest child irrespective of qualifications or suitability.

[ancientpie]

Like yourself I am neither pro or anti Royals & agree I would not like his job, but I very much doubt he would like mine either, it involves much lifting, stretching, sweating etc, the only difference I can see is in the wages.

[BigFatPie]

Elite, don’t forget he gets his butler to squeeze his toothpaste for him. Well at least he did until his butler had to resign for some impropriety with a Saudi businessman. Maybe Charlie could get madogslater to do it for him instead?

Charles of course ‘knew nothing’ about cash for honours(strokes Jimmy Hill chin).

If this mob were working class, most of em would have done at least one stretch.

May I remind you we voted Brexit, you lost, we voted Conservative, you lost..we have a Monarchy and long may it last. You fail on every item. Long live Boris.

You left the UK - you no longer have a say!
