Some discussions are not suited to administering comfort and platitudes. Politics is one such topic. If you don't want your political stance rubbished then keep away from political discussions!

And I can't be bothered with people who take offense at factual posts and go off in a huff.

Have a nice day.

I won't say that this thread is a joy, like Gransnet used to be then!!

Why do people keep trying to deny the obvious?

Here are the royal children on display at the weekend.

Apparently this is another case of “Recollections may vary”

OK. Treating me like you would a 2-year old then.

You don't know what you've done?

Well you should.

No huff.

I can’t be bothered to argue with ignorant people who don’t know they are being rude when they make derogatory remarks.

I suspect The fact Charles expressed disgust at government policy in shipping refugees to Rwanda is likely to increase positive views of him

No. Seriously.

Volver you don’t know?

Which bit?

Still extremely rude.

25Avalon - Royalty especially our future king should keep out of politics. Charles is playing into the hands of the Republicans and possibly making a few more on the way.

Farage: Unless Prince Charles wants to destroy the monarchy he better shut up fast.

Volver how very presumptive and rude.

volver your comments are often interesting and informative until the final paragraph. It is very noticeableacross threads. Where did 25 Avalon even mention Farage?
But never mind, you're with Farage on this. Charmer that he is.

25Avalon didn't mention Farage, but I did.

That's how discussions work. Her views are very like those of Farage. I pointed that out.

If people don't want to be compared with swivel eyed loons, don't have the same opinions as them.

We want a elected Head of State.

We can call them "President" or "Lord High Everything Else" or whatever we want. That's just a title and when people see the title "President" they tend to think of Trump or Macron. What we need is an overhaul of the system so that the Head of State acts in the interest of the people, irrespective of the vagaries of the elected government.

Most of the time the elected HoS would just do the ceremonial stuff. But now and again - for instance when the elected government proposes breaking international law for its own ends - an elected HoS should be able to act as a balance against that. But right now, all we get is how Prince Charles should butt out of politics.

So do republicans want an president or a HoS? I’m now confused.

A ‘source’ has apparently spilled the beans on this. According to news reports the prince was speaking in a private capacity. Did Charles give permission for his private conversation to be reported? Do we even really know that he did make this comment?

We don't know.

However, I expect that he did, that he is appalled by this decision by the Government and spoke "privately" but, imo, with the full knowledge that his opinion would be made public by the person he told.

X post.

I feel that royalty should keep out of politics. It’s one reason why I support the idea of a republic. A President would have the right to speak about politics and to ensure that parliament operates legally. He/she would be elected and therefore would represent the people. Charles has no right to speak of politics because he wasn’t elected.

I've started a new thread about this so as not to divert this one.
