Royalty the queen and her family.

I think Charles is a bit of a pillock yes, so are all the other Royals.

Grany? I smell a Commie.

I was going to say that Grany seems quite articulate for a Communist. But Grany has just cut and paste a whole load of garbage from the internet.

Do you Kapitan? What is a commie and what do they smell like? HaHa

Nice name 'Kapitan'

Well, Grany. I once saw the corpse of Vladimir Lenin, who was a well known Communist, and he had the smell of embalming fluid. He was quite dead, like his ideology.

Grany if you are a "commie", and we all know I'm a bit to the left of you, what does that make me?
#The only commie on GN!

I think it hilarious that my post was deleted. They’ll probably delete this one too. What imagination some people have.

Well I call myself a proud lefty, don't know if that makes me a commie HaHa could be I'm another commie on GN trisher

Did I hear someone say commie? Is this the lefty Gransnet meeting? I brought ethically sourced snacks...

Great tune, though!

Are your properties owned by the community, considering you call yourselves communists ?
Do you know the full meaning of communism ?
Look it up and you might just change your minds.
Does public ownership of your houses sound a good idea ?
Hard-earned money shared out among others ?
Communism is completely classless, so take down the chintz's and no keeping up with the Jones's.

Your money has to be shared in/ with the community--nice ?

I had an uncle who was a Communist who lived in abject poverty with his long-suffering wife----his choosing, but a well read man who many years ago played the violin in the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. He lived up to his beliefs by living frugally in a dingy ( rented ) flat in Liverpool, except that there was a whole wall of books on every subject imaginable which bore proof of his knowledge.

His hobby was writing in Braille and him and auntie attended " ban the bomb" walks with Michael Foote at Aldermaston.

On any correspondence he used to send me, on the back was a label---Pravda ( it was a Russian newspaper ) which he supported. His family owned a shipping line but he didn't want to know because money wasn't his forte, as it isn't if you're a true communist----so bear that in mind when jokes are made about being communists, it's not funny !

Well that's us told. So much for humour then....

Better stick to the character assassination of women we don't even know. All the better for doing it on IWD, as well.

I'm not a communist but I am a socialist and a Republican ,just had a post deleted for my view of the RF ...so I wont be posting on them anymore.Keep up the good work my fellow Anti Royals but beware that anything contraversial wil be taken down because admin dont agree ,see you on the other side .I'm out

Yes.
Racism is hilarious. As mocking it.

And no, I didn’t report it.

I didn’t see it. How can it be ‘hilarious’ to have a racist post deleted

Quite simply, it wasn’t racist.

US isn't perfect, but I wouldn't put it in the category of Venezuela or North Korea. I'm American, and I love my country as I am sure you do, GRANDMAJET

Just wondering how the vast uneven wealth in China goes with their claiming to be a Communist country? At least in the UK everyone knows the Queen and the royals are filthy rich. I am not a monarchist, never have been, though way back when the Plantagenets were my ancestors. They got rid of them those terrible Tudors and it seems that the Markle family are working on getting rid of the Well off Windsors.

Who are the “Markle family” who are plotting to get rid of the Windsors? Just because a young women refuses to be a Stepford wife........Haven’t we been here before with Diana, Fergie, Camilla.....

A question about the baby's skin tone is most likely to stem from interest in inheriting any trait from ancestors. Why is that question malevolent? I am surprised a popular, beautiful, successful woman like Meghan would believe the question to be motivated by racism and not mild interest such as for example wondering if the baby will inherit Prince Phillip's aquiline beauty.

Now forewarned, we would not venture to say anything about inheritance of skin tones to anybody except a disinterested scientist for fear of being called a racist.

I have read stories about black or brown people being physically attacked and injured or even murdered in the streets, or denied jobs or houses because their skin was the 'wrong' colour. This was obviously not the case with the Duke and Duchess.

nanna8 I think the difference between the British royal family and foreign very rich rulers is many British people regard the Queen and to a lesser extent her relations as a religion , and that she sets a moral example to all people rich and poor .

Now, the Queen appears to belong firmly to the set of rich aristocrats and plutocrats i.e. less than 1% of the population.

I personally knew a rich married couple now deceased who quietly gave away most of their money to found and endow homes for disadvantaged boys, as the did not "need" the money.
