Why do some fools insist on calling their Queen a parasite?

Basically, she's more like a pet than a parasite. Cheers!

When times get rough,the less fortunate begin to grouse about the privileged.They have heavy hearts and closed minds because they can not see past their personal travails to see what the monarchy has done forr their country!

The vast majority of the UK WANT the monarchy;they remember their history;they tried republican rule already and it FAILED and were too glad to reinstate a constitutional monarchy. In The Diana Chronicles, author Tina Brown attests:

"...there has never been a serious appetite among the British people fo replacing the monarchy,however flawed,with a regime fronted by some official in a business suit.They tried a version of it after beheading Charles I and nobody much liked it then.For most Britons,the Crown is the golden thread that connects the people to the most glorious moments of their history,exercising a force for stability in an otherwise bewilderingly changing world." The Crown represents a force above politics.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Queen works very hard and does a very good job as head of state, and it certainly would not be any cheaper to get rid of her and have an elected head of state, it would not only probably cost more money rather than less, but it would mean having yet more tedious elections, which we have quite enough of in this country anyway. I think the Queen is cheap at the price.

The identify "Queen England" became into final utilized in 1707. She is the Queen of the united kingdom - greater correct Queen of the united kingdom of tremendous Britain and northerly eire. She is likewise, one after the different, Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of recent Zealand, and 10 different international places (specifically little island international places). "Britain" is an island, no longer a rustic, even if the united kingdom is in many cases observed as Britain, the the people who stay there British.

I'm not even British, but I think the queen is a great symbol of the whole greatness of the United Kingdom. She is friendly, helpful, generous, kind, thoughtful, and brave. She stands for everything the English people are. Some people say there is no use for her anymore, but in fact, without her, the nation would not have something to pull everyone together!

I'm English, and live in ENgland, and last time I heard the official figures for those actually WANTING a royal family were far lower than 80%. I'm wondering where you got your facts mister. She's a sponge, and I'M more English than she is. Why the hell do we get foreigners in to make decisions for our country?

I'm loving the free speech. I should bugger off to Speakers Corner. I could go on for hours about old Lizzie Windsor.

So you're fighting other people's opinions with sweeping generalizations? I don't think your 80% statistic is right, and if it is, it must certainly not include Commonwealth countries that have as a Queen as well.

I dont know.

Reread your last paragraph, then your entire 'question' and note the tone of your rant.
