I suppose I have to be fair to the present queen and say that she has managed to do the job with a bit of dignity and has never visibly taken any real political stance, so I have no issues with that part of it all.

The problem I have is that she's (and her family) given all of this wealth and privilege just because she was born into a particular family. She's never had to prove herself, although as I said she's done better than most other royals, and she's got everything she could ever have wanted purely at the taxpayers expense.

I'm of the view that in this day and age it can't go on, it is wrong, it is unfair and it exacerbates the class divide which still exists in this country.

Yes, and they're all [censored], so why would we want more of them?

Savile could be dug up and reanimated using robotic technology. Imagine the loving crowds in the commonwealth cheering the decayed necrophile sitting atop a popemobile style conveyance as a stephen hawking voicebox bleats "now then, now then" and his robotically animated hand drops off and is carried off by a dog. A wonderful image and an ambassador for britain, you'd agree. Better than Boris Johnson anyways.

Getting rid of the Queen will hardly make a dent in any class war, the Eton set is who you need to be going after, what percentage of politicians have come out of that breeding ground ?

Our country has a monarch and if they were fully in charge it could hardly be any worse than a tory government.

'Don't understand the monarchy abolitionists, it's like they don't understand the monarch would only get replaced with politicians'

I, and the vast majority of republicans do, though. It's not like we haven't seen it elsewhere!

Well I didn't vote for Queen Elizabeth II ( although at least i think she does a reasonable job in the circumstances - unlike some of her hangers on )

I didn't vote Conservative but at least they were democratically elected ( for 5 years ) and at least I had a chance to vote.

Bloody hell i fully agree with you on something. Doubt all these foreign tourists who come to London because of the Queen would do so if Boris Johnson or Ken Livingstone had been in charge.

I read a survey a couple of years ago that said only 1 out of the top 20 tourist attractions in the country were anything to do with the royals. Get shot of them ASAP, the leeches. Buckingham Palace should be converted into a homeless shelter. Or a brewery. Or a gig venue. Or new home for AFC Wimbledon.
