Thoughts? 2 hours ago, Spike said: The Queen's death is irrelevant to that especially considering what the the former PM committed during the pandemic. He secretly invested the powers of the other cabinet ministers into his own office by convincing the governor general that it was necessary for the safety of Australia. What we don't need is a #republic debate to distract people from the actual evidence of corruption and lies that plagued the previous three governments. @Devil-Dick Willie @Toinho I can promise these two guys with a straight face that it isn't a grassroots 'debate' it's a distraction. Look at the newspapers publishing the story, The Western Australian (7 media), The Canberra Times (ACM formerly Fairfax 9), The Courier (Murdoch). The debate of republicanism died with John Howard replacing Paul Keating as PM. This will likely expedite us becoming a republic. Once the Queens death is behind us, sentiment for the crown will be at all time lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDITORS NOTE: This post works better when you know that in 1999 the division of Maranoa had the highest 'no' ratio to becoming a republic and John Howard referred to the division as the Kingdom of Maranoa.

I keep trying to analyse it but coming up with nothing, really trying to figure out the thought process. He should be fired for being that stupid, not because it's controversial. Didn't Sinclair racially abuse a cop as werll? Yep, and TalkSport 'stood by him' at the time. I think he's just stupid and dumb. I couldn't care less if he lost his job or not. I don't care either way. It's his sheer immaturity that he thinks he can speak for every black or brown person and therefore tell them how to mourn a loss. He's just a massive knob and shown his own true colours with the tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a massive knob and shown his own true colours with the tweet. we can call it what it is. he is the racist and convicted racist. there is no place in society for race baiters let alone actual racists encouraging racism through misstruth or false victimhood. sure every society has an extreme minority of overt racists but that is not systemic racism which hasn't existed for a very long time now. this tweet itself is racism disguised in virtue signalling and victimhood by inferring certain people (white people) are racist because of the monarch and what may have been done a few centuries or millenia prior. transport should take action as there is no privelege to express these types of divisive and or discriminatory comments. Trevor is not a victim of oppression and being black doesn't give a free pass. Racism is equitable in perpetration, in that any race, sex, gender, political or secular ideology can commit an act of racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 They have the political Jedi wing of politics on their side. I have heard it suggested on BBC news that many people in many nations have been waiting for this moment, hoping a domino effect will take place with multiple nations withdrawing from having the British monarch as head of state. And become republics. Perhaps even as independent & sitting on as much power & influence that the Republic of Ireland has. But that odd sing-a-long is just that.. odd. And also why sports events in England itself are postponed, just as much as the idea English will all be literally in grief & mourning right now.

Waylander 166 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Yes I am very disappointed the matches are off and think there is a risk of overdoing it. I think with every generation less support the monarchy yet it still has a sizeable and fervent following and of course is a facet of our British establishment and those countries that comprise the Commonwealth. The Queen had a lot of respect as a servant to the nation though less sure her successors will be respected as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Harry would potentially be King Henry the 9th wouldn't he? Either way, even though the queen was 96, it still came as a surprise, although nobody lives forever and you couldn't wish for a longer life. R.I.P! Not many on here will remember any of the reigns before her, other than @Bluewolf, so having a king will be strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought so, but on some article says he is still “in line” but let’s be honest he will be like 10th in line once William’s children start having children. A good point though.
