Abdication?

If we have to protect their homes it's a pity they have to have so many homes to protect , doesn't bother them what it costs the country, and for what? Opening buildings, giving their names for charities and filling Buck house balcony

I agree with Anniebach. I have nothing against those people but don't like the exhalted way they live and are regarded.

I'm sorry for anyone born into this life, but I'm a whole lot sorrier for the dreadfully underprivileged.

Just the Queen and the Duke of Ed ta x

"Dead horse" and "flogging" or what?

I have only been on Gsnet for a few weeks but I'm beginning to get a measure of the hierarchy.

As far as I know we have the Queen for that

Not flogging a dead horse Alea, all this nonsense of this queen living of a life of duty to her people - she doesn't give a fig for the people of this country , her concern is the crown, sod the people

But you have denied previously that you dislike the queen, ab. Your posts don't bear that out. Make your mind up. It would be more honest to say that you intensely dislike her as a person - that is the inpression you give.

Charles has five homes which has round the clock protection. William has a twenty roomed apartment in KP and a ten bedroomed country house , yet he has his offices in St James Palace, all this for a part time air ambulance pilot

Elegran, it has nothing to do with liking or disliking a person one does not know . She may be a sweet old girl, I do not see a monarch who cares for the people ,and my opinions of her are as a monarch

You could have fooled me, ab. Your posts do sound very much like an attack on her personal qualities. If you had made them about someone on GN they would have been deleted.

Anniebach

So now you are saying 'duty' is a nonsense regarding the Queen , she doesn't give a fig.

You are as Elegran pointed out inconsistent.

Your post June 12. 13.57. You said this.

"I think Anne and Charles have a sense of duty as do their parents"

POGS, sense of duty does not equal caring . So you could be bothered to find one post!

Anniebach

Your posts are unforgettable.

Really? I manage.

Claws sharp today Jingle

If only there was thirty five million for the homeless
I have put my 56p in the charity box on my shelf - well, in fact I upped it to £1 so that's a start.

If you want some facts and figures anniebach:

www.theguardian.com/society/2013/may/19/uk-spends-2bn-housing-homeless-short-term
Yes, I know it is two years out of date, so it could well have gone up by now.

So I expect that equates to a lot more than 56p per taxpayer.

Time to wind up this conversation I'd have thought. There's some pretty spiteful comments here, surprise, surprise, and I for one don't want to discuss it any more. I think the Queen is a fantastic person ditto Prince Phillip. As for saying she is uncaring, a) how does the person saying this know? and why this personal attack? You may disprove of the system and that's fair enough, but to bring it down to the level of personal attacks about people who you don't know, and have never even met, not just the Queen but her family as well, is outrageous. End of conversation for me.

Niggly, a few days ago you said we should ignore each other's posts, you tend to do this though

You're right ab I did and I should have stuck to it. Actually I feel sorry for you, it must be awful to feel such anger.

Poor niggly, you have never experienced anger on behalf of the vulnerable, I can believe that

I worked in social services for the elderly for twenty-five years, most of whom were extremely vulnerable. As I said, I feel sorry for you.

Please save your pity for the homeless niggly ,

It's a shame you've had to turn this into a personal vendetta, but there you are, you have and there's no more to be said.

Please listen to that Cliff record girls. It will soften the hardest heart. Your flames are like a butterfly's wings on a window today

This is getting to be a bizarre thread. A ding-dong about the Queen v The homeless and now we have to listen to CLIFF???

The victim act doesn't become you niggly, check back in the thread then you may have the honesty and courage to apologise for your accusation
