**** the Jubilee

She's a good Mother, that's for sure. How many mums would pay off a victim that their son had been Noncing up, and with other peoples money? I'll be drinking to that and no mistake.

Without state funding so much more money can get pumped into the nhs and parties at number 10.

It can be like an optional direct debit like people set up for other charity cases that they want to support.

Someone early in the thread mentioned footballers - they’re funded by the people who want to watch it though right.. who choose to do so?

And if they don’t get the funding through the thousands of loyal subjects then I guess that would make them redundant in this day and age and they can be scrapped safe in the knowledge they are past their sell by date

Now that’s a good idea 👍 and there would be NO D/D coming out of my bank account

I actually saw her circa 1984, from about 6-8 feet away (some event at London's Guildhall, where I worked then).
To be fair, she was stunning in those days

Alas the grand narrative of English conquest and subsequent centuries of humiliation has never captured the public imagination of a relatively conservative public.


In more recent times, the edge of radicalism that flashes throughout the arc of Welsh history has, however, reappeared: more powers, more protection for the language, more independence. Still the monarchy is immune.

Oh dear

A recent poll by Beaufort Research found that – excluding “don’t knows” – 70 percent of the Welsh public want to see Prince William made Prince of Wales at an investiture.

I don't suppose anyone was asked why they wanted to see Billy boy given a silly hat? The article suggests Wales craves institutions that bring people together, but doesn't explain how the royals do this and ignores the division caused by their existence. There's a claim they provide much needed glamour and celebrity - may I suggest the world of, err, celebrity? There seems to be a fair bit of it about.

Also, "guerrilla tactics" by republicans - an advertising campaign legally funded and displayed. There might be some bias in Mr Davies-Lewis's outlook.

I think she was "encouraged" by her parents to attend the same uni as Will.

Where is the evidence to show tourism would suffer if we didn’t have a Royal family?

Children are brainwashed in this country in our schools from an early age to see the Royal Family as a positive. They are not taught about the alternative.

We are talking about the monarchy here. You asked me a question I answered it. We are taught from a young age the monarchy is a good thing. So it’s hardly surprising the majority are in favour of this bunch of dull mediocrities.

All these sweeping generalisations about schools. In my schools the queen, royal family wasn't mentioned once. Where do you get the idea that schools are brainwashing kids with a Royalist agenda?

It’s happening in schools now. Kids going into school dressed up in red, white and blue clothing to celebrate the jubilee being an example of what is happening in schools.

I am just drawn towards these unprovable anecdotal threads where people make definitive statements I guess! I met a bloke the other day, who said he met the white Pele..... that kind of thing. At least you know what it's called!

My apologies; I didn't realise you've made this mistake before. I'm a bit baffled that someone would equate an educational process - where one should theoretically be taught to criticise and evaluate - with a cultural one - which isn't, necessarily - but I'll get over it.
