Hah ! Read what I said again, I didnt accuse you of being a feminist lol

Saying a man has a feminine side is a compliment not an accusation, all the best men have one

All the better to understand us with :p

Lynda :)

PS.......and just so you know..... I am very definitely not a butch lesbian..... lol ;)

The New royal Baby is likely to add a extra £500,000,000 boost to the economy, Prince William is doing his bit for Britain.....could do with one every year :eek:

Pah; childbirth is over relatively quickly - try breaking a femur, a collarbone, a humerus, toes, fingers and knees and tell me about pain.
Sorry but I will say one word


FISSURE

If 10/10 pain was 'Suicidal' then I was 3 or 4 times. 8 to 10 hours each day of demented pain. Would not wish t on anyone.

It is both sobering and ironic that this newly born child could well be alive to witness the complete breakdown of society and the extinction of humans. Both due to overpopulation.

To celebrate the boy's German, Greek and English heritage:

Klaus Alexandros Albert Windsor
Erm ... Windsor? They should go back to the original family name of Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha ...

Is that the same kind of "fact" as those being used to "justify" the HS2 white elephant? :cool:

Millions will pay fares on HS2 and get to travel for it. Millions will pay for the royal baby for many decades and only he will get to travel for it.

You seem to forget the Royal family and all the regal trappings that attracts tourism is estimated to be worth 1.2 billion to the economy per anum so a couple million to maintain the fantasy is still good business.

I've always considered that estimate to be a fantasy, just like the one that says most of us support the existence of royalty when all the evidence is of the opposite.

The tourism economic benefit results from those visiting this country, and they do that for a whole range of reasons, royalty being only a small part. And I've seen little evidence of the commercial benefits that are supposed to result from their overseas travels.

I stuck with Windsor as a compromise, since that's only true in part. This baby's great grandfather was born in Cyprus, Greece, into the Greek and Danish royal families who are of a different German family line.

You may consider it to be a fantasy flecc but that hardly makes your consideration right.
Where and what is this 'evidence' that says that most do not support the monarchy ?

My opinion is, that if there was a referendum on keeping the monarchy tomorrow, the answer would be a resounding yes......just my opinion, but I would be happy to put it to the test.

I also dont think that I, personally, have seen much evidence of commercial benefits arising from royal trips abroad, but thats just because I havent been personally involved and havent looked into it.....doesnt say that it hasnt happened.... just because you and I havent seen much evidence of it doesnt mean to say it doesnt exist :confused:

OK then ... how about Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha og Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg? :cool:

Now that is an iteresting idea, a referendum about keeping the monarchy.
Probably popular in Northern Ireland and England, not much in Wales,
but Scotland?
The Scots would ask which Royal Family
Windsors or Stuarts?
Interesting

Oh, I dunno Mike, I kind of get the impression that the welsh and the scots like the monarchy, I mean, why on earth wouldnt they :confused:

Sometimes things are hyped up so much that the truth of the matter is hidden, a bit like the hysteria over the forthcoming scottish referendum, which, according to all of my friends who either are scottish or live there, scotland will vote to stay part of the UK, no matter what that salmon nutter would like us to believe......

You are in luck, The Queen is related to Charles I via his sister Elizabeth Stuart who married Frederick V, which has a direct link to the Hanover line, which is also directly linked to the Windsors

The consideration is based on the fact I stated. The tourism income they claim results from royalty very obviously results from a whole host of reasons which are nothing to do with royalty. Have you already forgotten the Olympics for example? QED

The evidence is clearly shown online, one of the benefits of having the interpersonal communication internet which so reveals the way the authorities use propaganda to lie to us. Just look at this thread, only one person has openly declared full allegiance to royalty, though it appears a second probably does. The rest who are the majority don't.

If there were so many royalists they'd be furiously posting here in support of the institution.

You cannot count those who stay mute on the subject a vote for or against. The real question is what do you put in its place a politcal appointed Head of State???
