Yeah, but that word doesn't get censored.

Jesus, Mary, did you really call him a snobby little ******?

Fair enough not liking the concept of a monarchy, but what did royal families around the world ever do to you?

Because it warps any notion of a fair society. It engenders a class system that reaches far beyond the royals. Who you are superceeds what you have to offer. It's an obscene thing to encourage. Almost on a par with allowing a church to influence your progress in society. And we know all about that.

All societies have some sort of a class system...even in Soviet Russia some people were more equal than others.
You have not answered the question " what did royal families around the world ever do to you?"

The UK monarchy brings in tourism revenue, and people like our own Liam Fox
( from a poor family of Irish Catholic extraction ) can rise to the the top in UK politics / government. Many Irish have risen to the top in UK media / entertainment etc. Why are you so bigoted against the British in particular? ...but never snipe against other royalty?

sez the backpeddler who hates all royalty everywhere in the world but who only posts hundreds of tiimes cribbing about the British and their Royalty.:D

The Spanish royalty didn't 'ceremonially' hide the information of the killing of relatives of mine or spend centuries in this country oppressing us, no.
The thread is about a member of the British, Greek and maybe German (not sure, and maybe Phillip isn't either) royal family, so my hatred hits quite a few houses actually.

I hate the British system of royalty and all systems of royalty Mary. You paid me a huge compliment calling it 'legendary'.

Rellies of mine were killed in the North Strand bombings.......do you think I should go around hating Kanzler Merkel? or the members of the Luftwaffe because of what their "lineal" ancestors did?

How sad it must be to have a worldview defined by hate.

No you shouldn't hate individuals, but you should be against imperialist governments with a penchant for colonising large parts of the world, because that is what killed your 'rellies'.

Fawning and doffing your hat to it only encourages it

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure from my research that's not what killed them.....it was a SC250 on a delayed fuse that killed them delivered by a German He-111.

Anyway, today is another day - Phil the Greek didn't die and it'll be taught as an interesting case study in how rumours can spread on social media.

I'll leave you in your hate/hatred to look back over it - I'm looking forward to the weekend.

I was going to say I look forward to reading your outpourings on other imperialist governments such as the US, Russia, Spain, France, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany etc etc etc etc (some of them even have monarchies), but I expect you're limited.

Ah, another quaint attempt to portray criticism of the system of royalty as foaming at the mouth hate for individuals. It's a time honoured technique/tactic of a certain type of person, I'll give you that.

Re: 'criticism of other governments...', you will hear me whenever their actions impinge on me and mine.

I will enjoy my weekend, have no doubt.

She went and nodded at a memorial to those who were considered terrorists in their day...a small minority of people compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who worked in the war effort and for fought for these islands against the Germans, who had invaded and raped little Catholic Belgium, among other things.
Some would be of the opinion 100,000 Irish soldiers turned in their graves when she nodded in respect to a few hundred partisans / guerillas / terrorists / freedom fighters / call them what you want.

Obviously unionists don't give a sh1t about the innocents murdered by her army in Ireland.

Difference is that the Germans have shown contrition, the majority of Brits still think their empire was a good thing!
