I'm I the only one that thinks the royal family is a waste of, space,time,money and breath?

Question

Come on. What does the queen do. When was the last time she decided something? I mean kings use to fight and be in charge of the army and were all the money went to. Now The royals don't even go to war because they are royal and would be a very good danger. Why even put them in the army if they will never fight for their country. Honestly. To me the royals are just a dam pain who only care about shooting innocent animals. Insulting everyone. Not paying tax. THEY'RE RICH. they get free health care. Whats with that. Sure they have it tough (sometimes) like the rest of us but I mean honestly they could get away with frecking MURDER IF THEY wished

Well To be honest Liana is technically not royal so please stick to subject

Diane's death I mean

I'm not made of money. I'm 16. Which brings to other subject why the **** doesn't anyone but harry or William Help these poor people in Africa

I mean the queen does nothing .

Oh come on get a life. Ireland attracts people and they don't have no royal family

trust me I don't want them to die. I just think they should be turn normal people. I think if we keep the royal family then they should start paying taxes like the rest of us

C.J what the hell do u mean? lost money though terisom if it wasn't for royal family

thanks to all of yous who see my point of view

Froze I'm real sorry if I'm giving the impression that I want harry and Will's to go to war. I'm just saying that the army shouldn't of let them join if it was ruled out. The thing is people I'm not trying to bad mouth any of the royals apart from the ones that tell me what I can and can not do. Example being Prince Charles saying that I mac Macdonald's should be banned. The supposed duke of Edinburgh's asking a taxi driver in Scotland how he manges to keep the locals off the booz long enough. Then Princess Anne insulting our drink(irn bru) It's like just stop coming to Scotland if u hate us that much.
What abou anne and her dogs aswell. Basicly I jus have a problem with the fact that these people Are considered more better than me. It's like yeah I'm not perfect but neither are you. I just don't think a queen or king does as much as it use too. If u don't agree with me on that then I'm lost from were your coming from

Answer 1

Well, well it seems you have a problem with me and my family? Let me address some of your comments:
1) We provide a service to the UK bringing in a huge amount of revenue to the public coffers. We also promote Great Britain to other country's and help create a positive image abroad.
2) We do shoot innocent animals this is true, we would prefer to shoot the commoners such as yourself, but unfortunately the law doesn't allow it (for now, at any rate)
3) Yes we are rich, is that an insult or a just a statement of fact? is it a crime to be rich? If it is then i suppose were guilty.
4) We do get free health care just the same as you do.
5) We do like Scotland that is why we go there on holiday, we would go to Butlins but it's usually booked well in advance.
6) "They could get away with murder if they want" yes your right and yes I have done so, Remember that Diana woman.....We're here to stay so you better get used to it, lady!

Answer 2

Urm, well, the queen was actually in charge (all be it for about 5 minutes) when we didn't have a primeminister (when blair had gone, and brown was still being driven to the palace). She can also prevent laws from being passed, and government from being formed. She is a head of state, and so has the fun job (i would rather not do it) of having to entertain leaders from other countries, and so on.

May I just point out, that rich or not, everyone in this country gets free healthcare...if you pay tax, which they do on their private earning just like anyone else, then why shouldn't you get free healthcare? I'm sure YOU visit the NHS every so often yourself.

I doubt they would get away with murder, seriously. Do you really think a monarch who did something totally illegal and awful like that would continue to have the support of the public? urm, no.

And what exactly is wrong with hunting? It's just pest control. Are you against getting rid of mice/rats from people's homes etc. as well? Do you let your dog keep the fleas? If you want the country side to be overrun with diseased foxes (which it is where I live), that rip open the rubbish bags, and kill farm animals and people's pets, then that's your choice, but that's just disgusting, and stupid.

Answer 3

they have not got sufficient Divas to make up the marketed 25, so as that they are going to be bringing in some previous faces and doubtless a marvel or 2. The previous faces gets an incredible pop. And, probable, Gail Kim will win it as an "impactful" return. yet what's at stake? What does the winner get out of it? not something. extremely than the "each and every little thing and the kitchen sink" tournament they could desire to have Melina vs Maryse to unify their titles. There are not sufficient Divas to help 2 titles and that's the prepare to unify them. enable the others have their conflict Royal yet with a identify shot at stake. not having the two Diva Champ preserve her identify on the "grandest degree" shows what Vince and the WWE think of of those titles. comparable could properly be stated of the U.S. and IC Titles. was once, the U.S. and IC Champs have been already desirable contenders for a international identify. Now they only get one hazard a 300 and sixty 5 days for of project at a international identify shot?

Answer 4

I think having a President Gordon Brown would be a bigger waste of space, time and money. You should know that the Queen is still the sole legal owner of ALL the land in Britain. You may think that when you buy your home the ground underneath it suddenly becomes yours - but it doesn't. Just imagine how much richer the Queen would would become if we had to buy all the land back from her. lol :-)

Answer 5

I am sure you are right.They do nothing really,but for all that they represent us British people,the inheritors of an astonising history.Pretty stupid and all that,but tears flow down my cheeks when I see that brave Union Flag against a blue sky
(I am sure some joker will say we dont get blue skys) Dont forget it"s last night of the proms tonight ! God save the queen

Answer 6

We can't get rid of the royal family, they are an integral part of the history and tradition of this country! If my memory serves me correctly Prince Harry was desperate to go to Iraq so you can't blame them if politicians and generals won't let them go. I wasn't aware that royals were the only ones who liked hunting, perhaps we should throw everyone who hunts out of the country shall we?

Answer 7

oh dear guess you were not born into the royal family,
that's the luck of the draw you need to get on with your life now,
the queen owns alot of land in London & land in this country,
that brings a lot of revinue into the governments pocket as the queen gives this up which is more than she gets from the government,
as people say what about all the people she employs & tourism, would you rather have queen blair , or king brown,
who would come to see them????? do people go to see bush??? or putin????

Answer 8

they are not all bad
the princess of wales ( lady Diana )
lovely lady caring the half brother / sister to the future king
unfortunately killed
prince Phillip
what a sense of humour why is it that the people do not understand him . political correctness you can forget that .
he is brilliant and a native of Corfu that is kerkyra i mean(kepkupa)

Answer 9

no, you are not alone.
I think it's time for change & the royal family with all their hangers-on, snooty, favouritism life-style should be ended.
we need an appointed representative, one that we voted in that will do the job of attracting tourism, business & to direct our Armies.
what was she thinking when she sent our troops to Iraq?

their favouritism has always bothered me the most, just because the queen is the daughter of so-&-so & a direct descendant to some one else of no great importance to me.
she then gets a pampered & protected existence!
I dislike them all, most if not all of them are a waste of space, rude & not even living in the real world.
time to kick them out of their privileged position.

& incidentally, Lord Lucan proved royals can & do get away with murder!

Answer 10

Good on you! I've wanted a republic for years. The tourism argument is a bit worn out. People from abroad can't come to see the queen directly, can they?
Then again, neither can us unless we get an MBE or a knighthood (but then again, you have to give a million quid to the Labour party these days to get one...)
