The Beast Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 19 minutes ago, Wolfie said: While I agree with this in principle, the royal family generates a whole lot more for the British economy than it takes. Our monarchy is by far the most famous on the world stage and it remains one of the very last bastions of genuine Britishness which make our islands unique. I can't stand the pomp and ceremony and bullshit of the whole thing either, and it's undoubtedly been abused in the past by the likes of serial cumfarting dimwit Diana, however Harry is the most likeable of an elitist bunch. He went to fight on behalf of his country, and as Roops points out, raised the profile of the plight of ex-servicemen. Whether this was contrived or designed to give him something to do is beside the point, because it worked. More importantly than all of the above, the existence of a British royal family continues to piss the majority of the Muslim community off no end. I'm not sure Harry would have come back minus a few limbs like many others (and then left to fend for himself) but at least he went there, not that I would, so fair enough. Not too sure how it pisses the moslem brethren off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 26 minutes ago, Mrs Roops said: Well, Jug Ears, the latest ONS figures suggest just over 11 million children in the UK. That being the case, you're projecting that slightly less than half of all British children will be living in poverty. Eddie's stats source are confusing as well. Set aside that despite having "Action" in the charity's name this outfit is a pressure group and not an entity that actually does anything to alleviate real child poverty. (The clue is in the employee headcount of 35) Their front page mentions nearly "1 living in poverty 3" another page mentions "1 in 4". We haven't even discussed what constitutes "poverty", a moot point that CPAG skirts around in their policy documents. 1M, 2M or 4M, the point is children in this country are missing meals, living in squalor and have very limited opportunities whilst the royals live in palaces, think nothing of dropping 40k on a private flight and enjoy the very best of everything at our expense, people think they're great because, for example he supported invictus games, gawd bless em. Compared to the privilege the royals enjoy we are all living in poverty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_B Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Well at least he does stuff, is pleasant to people and doesn't expect everyone to bow and scrape or call him sir. Unlikely to ever become King he has carved out his own niche. Unlike Andrew who is full of his own importance, can't even be civil to the proles who pay for his lifestyle and seems to do as little as possible.There are also other potential issues, but in the interest of staying the right side of the libel laws I'll let you Google those yourself if you want to.

He was sat in an easy chair as a weapons officer in an Apache. Before that he was sat in an easy chair in a patrol base. Both jobs not carried out from air conditioned trailers in Nevada.
