Re: Prince William inherits £1bn estate

It's called history, in 100 years time questions will be asked in classrooms about these times. People are so short sighted. HISTORY

People are suffering and dying, **** history

Re: Prince William inherits £1bn estate

Why is everyone bitter and twisted about the wealth of the Royal family? The Kings and Queens of this country are what makes this Island unique and long may it continue. Get rid of them so we can save a few bob, beggars belief that people who were brought up on our history want to get shot of it.

So we're just paying to maintain the same old history (or part of it) we've had for centuries?

So what? How does “history” help those dying on our streets, or struggling to put food on the table when these people own billions in assets? In this day and age it’s risible that we are subservient to people who in no way are superior over the rest of us.

Being against something doesn't make someone bitter and twisted. (If so, you are bitter and twisted against republicans).
Secondly, posters have given various reasons for their being against the concept of royalty and not just on financial grounds.
Thirdly, "being brought up on our history" is totally meaningless (and which included slavery, boys having to climb up chimneys, killing aboriginal people etc).
Fourthly, the concept of royalty is not unique to this country (even if their semi-deification seems that way).

Can you elaborate on that very emotive statement?

I live in what would be classed as a deprived area, haven't seen anyone dead on the street. Don't believe everything you read just a bit of advice.

It is a fact those living on the streets die a lot younger than average
You would only have to work in a school to know how desperate things are for some some children whose parent/s struggle to put food on the table for them. My son deals with this on a regular basis

The Royals are no better than the rest of us

No they go back to a one room flat and die.

Pearcey put it better than I did.

The last two years have proved categorically that we ARE IN NO WAY “in this together”. The rich get rich, the poor get poorer, it’s sickening

Are you saying that without the royals this period of history, which has seen a pandemic, an historic exit from the EU and the potential collapse of the union itself, not to mention the numerous crises and wars, wouldn't be studied?

1 Being bitter and twisted is moaning about something that you have no control over. 2 It's all about the money 3 History is not meaningless 4 it's not unique but why should we ditch it for a few keyboard warriors?

Black death or Henry the VIII

I agree entirely. I think it's high time we had a referendum. Then we would see what the public really thinks.

(I should add that although I'm against the monarchy in principle, I'm not opposed to the current Royal Family as individuals. They had no more control over which bed they were born in than I did.)

1 Being bitter and twisted is moaning about something that you have no control over. The French were like that at one point in time.
2 It's all about the money. Too facking right it is they raped and pillaged most of the third world for its mineral wealth its time nations were given it back Wales included.
3 History is not meaningless. No its not but if you don't learn from its mistakes it's pretty worthless. unique but why should we ditch it for a few keyboard warriors?
Its a bit more than keyboard warriors the union is on its last legs along with the monarchy.
