Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

fred - that really is a very silly response from you, showing a surprising lack of thought or logic

just being contentious for the sake of it yet again i suppose

she is giving the uk a sick name anyone listening to her outside the uk must be laughing their heads off she is a nutter , she needs help

Agreed:

1. About the massive benefits of the UK having an exceedingly prestigious, travelling, sales aid. ie. Royal Yacht. If ever asked or given the opportunity, I would contribute £100 towards it and I know my wife would do the same.

2. Yes the DUP £1Bn is a 'bung'. But it does stabilise our governing of the Brexit deal. And the Corbyn 'promises to the many (mostly young people) costing £100Bn' is also a 'bung' - but costing 100 times more!

3. The Queen does a bloody good job and always has done ever since she took on the position. The top echelons of the RF also do a pretty good job (Prince Charles, Kate, William, Harry, Anne). However, I do think we then have to start asking a few questions (ie. Edward, Andrew, Eugenie, Beatrice, a couple more Dukes, etc, and their families and hanger-ons). Some of the 'colourfulness of State' and our 'colourful pageants and traditions' surely did now ought to be 'pared back a bit'. Their usefulness doesn't now justify their cost. With the House of Lords, Black Rod, State Opening of Parliament, etc, surely our self government systems and Parliament are so utterly archaic, they are not fit for purpose!

abbot must be ill to act and speak like that she must be stopped making sick speeches
she makes her self look like a freak which she is

my daughter has just said has she no close friends willing to help the poor woman from making a fool of her self

Mentor; I have edited your post as a result of complaints about racial slurs and abuse.

One more edit by us and you are gone.

re - agreed

mainly on no. 2 and 3,

on no. 3 time for some type of reform is in need, and considering there is so much cuts everywhere why not on does archaic systems that cost ....an arm and a leg

Manuel.

Consider the symbolism.

Like a bull in the marketplace.

I have no personal animosity to the Queen and her Duke.

But, I object to the tax avoidance by herself, cronies and other hangers-on.

It strikes me like primitive tribalism and belonging to a bygone era.

8-)

the uk will be a very sad place with out our honourable queen . she brings in billions of dollars ever year

fred is a traitor to our country and should be banned from is sick views of a wonderful lady .

78240 - exactly so
78241 - LR reverts to type! :-)

issues in Brexit talks, as millions of beneficiaries, including farmers and scientists across the continent, rely on its commitments for funding.
Even when taking into account the U.K.’s “rebate” -- the discount obtained by Margaret Thatcher in 1984 that knocks an annual 5 billion pounds ($6.4 billion) off the country’s contribution -- Britain still provides about 12 billion euros to the bloc’s budget on a net basis.
“The gap in EU finances arising from the United Kingdom’s withdrawal and from the financing needs of new priorities need to be clearly acknowledged,” the commission said. “The EU budget faces a tough challenge to fund more with less.”

uk gives the eu 12 billion a year , and we get nothing for that money and those that take out money and never put a penny in have the same power and vote

it can not be right , we must leave and leave now with out a deal if that is the only way

“The gap in EU finances arising from the United Kingdom’s withdrawal and from the financing needs of new priorities need to be clearly acknowledged,” the commission said. “The EU budget faces a tough challenge to fund more with less.”

i read that earlier today, and it's an interesting comment that may well have an impact on the negotiations, though those will be very long, convoluted and difficult for all

so why was the eu so far removed from uk on certain polices . they put two fingers up and closed their eyes .

climate change eu paris accord , Germany breaking all their climate rules and silence from brussels

the smell of fish is almost gone in the Scottish parliament

Tory Muppets on fire today.

oh hohohoho! .... how very original and droll you are
