The Queen and dedication to duty in the 21st Century

If you watch the 1 minute video you will see why monarchy is corrupt It explains it better than I could.

If we had a president he she would not allow corruption in government You see queen can't do anything except what her PM asks her to do.

We elected Boris Johnson, the Labour Party elected Corbyn,

We could honour a president democratically elected Head of State in stead of the corrupt monarchy How can you honour corruption?

In what way is our Queen and her family so corrupt? And presumably you think our democratically elected Prime Minister and government are pure of corruption?

We could honour a president democratically elected Head of State in stead of the corrupt monarchy How can you honour corruption?

Aye, C S Lewis.

The author who prevented Susan from entering paradise because she wore lipstick.

Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison - C.S. Lewis

jacqrose it's just the unfairness of the of an hereditary monarchy and all that goes with it that I've never been able to get my head around.

I don't think it is particularly fair on them either but they accept it with dignity, grace and a sense of duty.

Well, most of them do, there are always exceptions and leaving with a sense of grace and dignity would be understood by most people, I think.

You can't understand that being the sovereign is a role you have to train for from birth? It requires a deep understanding of what a lifetime of devotion and duty actually means. I doubt anyone other than someone in a direct line of descent could take all that on board.
Do you mean unfairness to them or to everyone else? It could be taken either way. Most people would not want the burden of such a role in life.

Well I've offered it if you don't want to accept it that's up to you. I'm just being honest when I say that's what I think.

Ooops, jacqrose apologies, I meant your apology was not genuine

There you are jacqrose. Support for the monarchy grows with age, but all age groups apart from 18-24s are at least 60% in favour.

jacqrose you were patronising , and as ‘this is how you see it’
your apology is genuine

I think it will be interesting what happens with the younger generation, they consume news in a completely different way, I heard someone saying the other day that they wont even notice the demise of traditional media as it's so irrelevant to their lives.

Apologies if you all feel patronised. It's how I see it. I'm actually quite broad minded about a number of topics, it's just the unfairness of the of an hereditary monarchy and all that goes with it that I've never been able to get my head around.

Think several of us have been classed as the older generation , by a youngster perhaps ?

I really cannot take your post seriously jacqrose

But I suppose you must believe it
?

You are quite wrong about it being only the older generation who are interested because they have nothing else going on, what a patronising small minded narrow outlook you have on life.

So patronising jacqrose

Chestnut die hards from the older generation who want a day out because they have very little else going on, foreign tourists and people who just happen to be in town. Overall, on any ordinary day of the week people aren’t that interested in the Windsors. That’s one of the reasons nothing changes. You and others have been loyal fans for so long you can’t accept that a hereditary monarchy is undemocratic because you don’t want to admit that you and the rest of us have been mugged. I’ll leave you in your blissful ignorance.

Grany All that you’ve outlined there is true but there is a small minority, most of them on GN it would seem, that just want to wave their flags and doff their caps and look through rose coloured spectacles. Sometimes I think it’s kinder to just let them carry on believing.

Here is a picture of the 'small minority' waving their flags.

These people do not know about the corruption in public office for private gain the lobbying spending public money freely. The exemption from FOI secretive What have they got to hide. If people knew they wouldn't like it. The monarchy is thought to be above politics

Here is a new shorter version one minute. Why we should get rid of the monarchy m.youtube.com/watch?v=MGKP_iDlCnE

What do you think?

And another one.
