Guest Peter James Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 there are few sights more ludicrous and pathetic than the mainstream media arse-licking the system while claiming to be ‘independent journalists’. How can anyone involved in this sickening display of unbridled sycophancy for the family of the head of state and the ‘future monarchs’ (father and son) ever claim to be capable of challenging and exposing the system that the royal family heads and personifies? http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/87592-royal-baby-coverage-crosses-the-line-of-insanity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was cycling through Edinburgh, the traffic was gridlocked. I stopped to try and see why and was kettled into a corner behind railings near Holyrood with about 20 others, although the rest of the square was empty. Turned out it was all because of a visit by Charlie or Philip, I can't remember which, and kettling us into a corner must have made the pictures look like we were part of a large crowd that had turned out to see him. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us English gave them everything ( apart from Celtic FC ) They come down here into paradise chucking toilet waste into public bins and stuff and constantly moan about our great royal family ... What they got ? A mad woman out of The Krankies running ( should that be ruining ) the place ... Bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Had Enough Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Can anyone else see the hilariousness of David Icke telling us that something crosses the line of insanity? This is the madman who thinks that the world is run by shape-shifting extra-terrestrial green lizards. You really couldn't make it up! :D The next thing we'll be expected to believe is that motorhomers cr*p in builders' buckets and dump the contents into waste bins.

What is really so special about that one? Oh well, if you really can't work that out, I see no point of carrying on? Here's a clue, if we had a young wife of a US president and she became pregnant, do you think that the world's media would ignore it? Do try to think beyond your blinkered hatred of our wonderful royal family, there's a good chap.

The obvious difference is the President has been elected by the people. People may not make the best choice of President, but its their choice, and every few years they get another choice He is not forced on to them whether they want him or not, together with all his hangers on, and then his descendants, and his descendants hangers on, whatever they turn out to be like, for evermore. Everyone gets a vote - not just those who want him, whilst those who just want everyone to have a vote are derided and abused, called unpatriotic, miserable people, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to judge people on their appearance - lets be honest about it Hitler was better looking than Churchill. But if thats your vote thats fine and nobody is trying to deny you your vote. All we ask is that you don't deny us our vote. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave225 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I kinda get the impression Peter James is a Republican. While i probably share some of his sentiments, I do not think I would have broadcast them on this Forum. The words 'red rage to bull' spring to mind. Of course in the privacy of my own living room I have been known to shout all sorts of abuse at the TV when I see the prat from the Beeb, grovelling and toadying outside some castle or wherever. But the only one who tells me to shut up is my dear wife, which I do. I know many people enjoy the Monarchy, but that also many people feel it is an anachronism in the current world. It is also disappointing that we never ever seem to be allowed an opportunity to actually vote whether we want to keep it, or not. Unless of course we do a Cromwell. As for the birth, well we in our own family have just had a new grandaughter, and a new great grandson, so I know where my priorities lie. As me and Katy are never likely to come into contact, it is really not something I am going to lose sleep over. Plus, just to throw a stone into the pond so to speak, as we seem to have made our own 'Queen Nicola' up here, maybe Peter will get his wish.

She said - "it's very sad about Princess Diana, but why have they cancelled all my telly programmes?" Mind you, that's the same girl whose response to her cat dying - after I'd plucked up the courage to tell her - was, "oh dear, can I get another one?" She works in finance now. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
