The Monarchy

[Foxholer]

How? You consider educating and driving out destructive forces as an abuse of power?

Certainly - when they are used in the way you suggest! To teach that 'religion is NOT true', as you suggest, would amount to brainwashing!

Yes some do, have spoken to literally hundreds of tourists over the last 10 years and you’d amazed how many think they might see her looking out of a window or walking in the grounds.
I’ve seen some start crying, hugging each other, jumping up and down, etc when she’s been driven past them in a motorcade.

Einstein was right. Not referring to his theories, but his quote.

 

[Old Skier]

You think a lot of people think things like "call in the military" as a first response? Wow. You are truly blind to the populous.

You obviously didn't see the requirement for shoring up the Whaley dam. Don't rember seeing any civilian AC involved. You might like to remind us who where called for Air Sea Rescue untill about 3 years ago.

But it’s true. So it’s not.

 

[Kellfire]

No it is his opinion, which you must respect even if you disagree with it.

May I suggest that you have a quiet word with yourself.

We certainly do not have to respect anyone’s opinion for the sake of it. What a crazy thing to say.

 

[IanM]

...respect their right to have one, I guess was meant................. which I am sure you do!

...many of the same blokes are still flying the 'copters!!

I respect both the Armed Services and the Emergency Services as you know they will be there should you need them. I also respect the Queen but agree that the entourage should be curtailed.

 

[Foxholer]

But it’s true. So it’s not.

Kindly explain precisely how you know that for certain!

 

[Kellfire]

If you believe, you’re brainwashed and won’t be convinced. If you don’t, you’re being facetious so I won’t bother.

 

[Foxholer]

That's a complete cop-out! The REAL answer is that you cannot prove it - one way or the other!

So I repeat my assertion that requiring that 'education should actively push that religion is NOT true', as you posted, is precisely the sort of 'abuse of power' that you were criticising!

Kellfire, you obviously don’t particularly like anything this country has to offer, you criticise time and time again.

I would suggest that New Zealand would be a better place for you to live,
But that would be very unfair to New Zealand.

Interesting but when you actually look at the duties and engagements the Royal Family actually undertake - especially supporting charities and local community groups and organisations - then I would say there's a good chance they work a lot bloody harder than a lot of people who would like to do away with them!!

My late Dad used to do the flight plans for the Royal Flight. He always said if Anne was to retire, it would halve his work load. She was the hardest working Royal, by far.

He'd be given a short shrift very quickly with the attitude he has shown on here!

I'd suggest the Kerguelen Islands would be more appropriate! I'm certain the locals would be far more receptive to his attitude!

The woman is a human dynamo and she expects those her around her to be the same.

What do you have against the French.

I think work is overstating things.....

Yes must be nice to go to work in a chauffeur driven Bentley.
But I would not like to do all the boring stuff Liz does.
Keep the Queen and close family but all the hangers on need binning.

You should try retirement
