Fed up of Immigrants taking our jobs - campaign for a British Royal family

[Citizen66]

Would this have legs? Daft idea?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Pointless. I don't want a royal family, but I also don't want to make any sort of point about immigrants taking our jobs.
Do the current royal family company of ?such things. ?

 

[Citizen66]

It makes people question who constitutes 'immigrants'. Because for most people who bang on about it this never crosses their minds.

 

[Citizen66]

A wealthy (and white) immigrant isn't really an immigrant.

 

[Citizen66]

White Aussies and Kiwis aren't immigrants in the fuck off home sense.

 

[Citizen66]

All this can be twisted...?

[sleaterkinney]

In what way are they not British?

 

[DotCommunist]

I'd prefer to run on a 'spare not even the corgis' ticket

 

[Belushi]

Daft idea tbh - they've been here hundreds of years, just plays into the hands of those who think anyone whose ancestors haven't been here millennia aren't really British

Yep. They've been here for longer than my family have. Except Greek Phil.

Its all a bit embarrassing tbh. Calling the queen Saxe coburg Gotha as if its the big reveal (Germans! ) is generally the mark of a bellend.

 

[DotCommunist]

Can't we just borrow some dutch royalty again? Imagine it, lounging on the throne with one leg over the arm, smoking a massive joint and demanding that the arch bish kneels and has his open mouth used for an ashtray. It would be immense.

 

[Belushi]

Look at the fucking sash!

 

[eoin_k]

Coz they're german, like most of the European royal families.

 

[DotCommunist]

protestant defender ftw

 

[DotCommunist]

all them little medals on his jacket are from all the times he crushed popery

 

[eoin_k]

I thought that lot had the popes blessing last time they took over.

The Battle of the Boyne

William is celebrated to this day as a champion of Protestantism, but he was nonetheless backed by the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Alexander VIII. The Pope was part of a ‘Grand Alliance’ against Louis XIV’s warring in Europe and supported William’s reconquest of Ireland.

The Battle of the Boyne

This stuff should be fly posted up and down the shankill at every opportunity...not by me though

 

[pogofish]

Have you seen homegrown the alternative - The Duke of Beaufort!

Then the rest of the competition gets decidedly foreign - I don't think Ernst August Albert Paul Otto Rupprecht Oskar Berthold Friedrich-Ferdinand Christian-Ludwig Prinz von Hannover would win you many supporters?

Isn't there a survivor of the Welsh royal line still around?

Daft idea yeah but I think 'bellend' is a bit strong.

The latter.

 

[Citizen66]

I wasn't being serious ffs

I will take a moment to note the names of dickheads sticking the boot in though. So that's you and killer b.

 

[N_igma]

Didn't they do a programme a few years ago where they traced the legitimate Catholic line after the Act of Succession and found out the true heir to the throne is some farmer in the outback of Australia?

 

[fogbat]

Yep. It's me

Ooh, you delicate flower. Are you new here?

 

[bamalama]

I like his matching hair, very dapper

 

[Voley]

My knowledge of the royals is pretty minimal. How far back do you have to go for them to be actually German / Greek / whatever?

 

[JimW]

What about that neolithic idea of kingship (which I probably got off some shit fantasy book rather than actual history) where they elect you, fete you for a while then kill you so your blood fertilises the earth mother and guarantees next year's harvest? Could make it modern which text voting or something.
