Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

[ElizabethofYork]

See post 3035, saves me typing. What I mean't was that whether he is guilty of anything or not, he has no place in public life.

His "place" is a nice cosy prison cell.

As sas correctly identifies here:

Surely one good argument for their abolishment is that they're just really shit. They're just terrible at the one job they were born into unimaginable luxury to do.

Although I can’t quite figure out exactly what the job is. They have certainly failed if it’s just to be an example to the rest of us

An example of what not to be, and as that they do a grand job

But I’m sure there are much cheaper alternatives

smile nicely for the camera, cut ribbons, wear a gold hat. Otherwise just keep your fucking head down.

He'll be Admiral Andy at the funeral. He's been stamping his foot
Prince Andrew to wear military attire for Prince Philip's funeral

Who wouldn't want to don fancy dress for their dad's funeral? I reckon coming as that bloke riding an ostrich would be more fun though.

The whole institution is just fucking bizarre. Because of accidents of birth, a family live in ridiculous luxury with the rest of the country supposed to bow and scrape to them. They do no work, they have no purpose. They turn up at events where they are treated like gods, they occasionally make a speech, and certain sycophantic idiots consider that to be "work". The queen is widely praised for her life of duty - but what duty? What has she actually done? What difference has she made to anything? And she manages to look as miserable as sin all the time, while living in the lap of luxury at the expense of us drones.

I don't see that happening, not that it would be undeserved.

Yes. But sadly the prevailing view is "you pay for quality" even though the Jacobite line would be markedly cheaper

You are of course entitled to your opinion. You do need to deal with the dissonance caused by the apparent democratic support for the monarchy.

What does this mean?

I think it means I love the taste of dogshit

 

[brogdale]

What does this mean?

I suspect that they think that they've told ElizabethofYork that some people love our dear old queen, and that she has to get over it.
Or some such arrogant tosh.

 

[MickiQ]

Surely Pizza Express (By Royal Appointment) of all places will close as a mark of respect.

How does one deal with an undemocratic ideal.

 

[Teaboy]

I do think a lot of people like the Queen. It should not be mistaken for fondness of the monarchy. It's not unusual for people to wax lyrical about the Queen and then slag off the rest of them and the entire concept of a royal family.

Interesting times ahead when she carks it and she knows it.

We shall see

 

[Border Reiver]

So you think that the democratic will should be ignored? Interesting!

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Thank you. But it's not just "opinion" is it? I've only stated facts.

You seem to have a problem separating belief from fact.

It was undemocratic a minute ago. Make your mind up.

I belive you are a bit if a knob, and that's a fact.

Onto ignore for abuse.

 

[Border Reiver]

It is undemocratic to ignore the rather embarrassing fact of high democratic support for the monarchy and distrust of a presidential system.

Really? Which part of my post was not factual?

His place is hanging from a lamppost with a noose around his neck, along with the rest of them

You're confusing popular with democratic.
