To see the Royals and The buildings they frequent.
This contributes to our economy indirectly and keeps many in jobs
Honestly army88, the "Royal Family" make the heckles on the back of my neck stand up. Ostentatious wealth and privilege by birth right really should be consigned to the history books. The Russians had the right idea. :mad:Quote:

We, the taxpayers and working class proletariat are being subjected to one gigantic con Supersub6. It really needs to stop...Quote:

However, because of the way the country is divided into constituencies, your vote can easily count for nothing depending where you live.
The only fair way to remedy this would be to have proportional representation, however, that is not a popular idea amongst a lot of politicians.
Life goes on and the only thing any of us can do is just get on with things and try to look after those who are less fortunate. Meanwhile ---the con continues!
We tried Proportional Representation with the Brexit vote Supersub6, that went well did it not? >:(
As I said, it is something that goes against the grain for politicians!Quote:

"Man up" ? Is that still permissible on the left BT, you're probably OK on here, but that sort of phrase could get you into trouble in your Alice in Wonderland political world. I always had you down as a feminist ?
So your little politburo chats away over beer and sandwiches, while homeless people die on the streets of Manchester. That's how it was in the good old USSR, except they were dying in the Gulags back then, out of sight and out of mind. Happy days eh, will you ever get them back, Jezza and John think it can be done, me I'm not so sure, maybe sitting around pretending is as close as you'll get ?
