  1. 1. How do you feel about the monarchy?

    • Fine as it is.
    • Should be kept but needs significant alterations.
    • We should start to look into abolishing it.

Someone I know knows someone who worked at the palace.

Now I dont know the person so I cant say how reliable this is but apparently Philip was heard saying racist things like blacky and w o g

you cant take a girl from the streets and marry her into the aristocrats of the world and expect it to turn out well. the girl is pretty and she did well with her acting but the bottom line is she was born into a life much like the rest of us and she had no business being in the royal family. you can only fake it for so long. 

Honestly this. As much as we can respect and romanticise it but class difference is a big thing in relationships.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Bloke is old fashioned.

I'm  not personally convinced that age is an excuse to have racist views. @CaaC (John) and @Bluewolf are past 60 and they arent racist.

It's more about how you adapt to new moral ideas. There weren't trans right when I was young and there was still a lot of homophobia but I adapted

I hadn't really decided whether I was laughing at how shocking that is if it's true, or how farfetched the story is. I'm not going to be one of those people who pretends I've ever met the bloke and decide which it is so I decided just to see both funny sides to it.

Them old jokes just keep on coming don't they... xD

 

That wasnt actually a joke mate. I was just pointing out that you both would have been raised in a more racist time but neither of you are racist.

Yea well you should have gone with that rather than pointing out we are both over 60... xD

It's weird really, I'm in my 60's too but don't fit in with the common misconception that 60 odd year old white men are more likely to be more racist because of the era we grew up in.

It's bollocks to generalize like that.

@Scouse_Mouse I was never suggesting that all people over 60 are racist. However statistically they are  more likely to be. I actually have massive respect for people over 60 who arent racist. To be raised in a time when people were more racist and not be racist or learn new ways of thinking is very good

I didn't think you were suggesting that at all mate. :)

William and Kate's latest tour of the Caribbean islands that still technically have the Queen as head of state wasn't exactly well-received. There were a few protests in Jamaica and Belize have started the process of removing her as head of state.

Good, to be honest. It's ludicrous to pretend that she "rules" over those countries in any way. The only good or relevant thing about the Commonwealth is the Commonwealth Games.

It was also reported that Kate Middleton's wardrobe for the trip cost £35,000 or so. It's so ridiculous. I read that out to some of my family members on Sunday and my Dad, who has to "both sides" all of these things started trotting out excuses while I was going off about how unjustified it is for them to be spending that much money on her having five different designer outfits a day while there are people using food banks back home and having to choose between filling up their cars or heating their home. He even trotted out the debunked excuse about "tHe RoYaL fAmIlY bRiNg MuCh MoRe In ToUrIsM rEvEnUe ThAn ThEy CoSt". That is the UK's problem though. Otherwise sensible people being brought up believing that the royals truly are beyond reproach and being unwilling to challenge their own views.

£35,000 on clothes for a tour of the Caribbean though. And what for? The more you think about it, the more of an insult it is to their "subjects".

Not a fan of monarchy though during national crisis points they can serve a purpose. Personally don't see them lasting too much longer.

On the dress thing for any normal person does seem very excessive yet looking at it with a business head on she might be wearing designer gear made in the UK or by UK designers which might bring in sales and tax revenue.
