Chaps,
This is exactly my point.
Ramming home some ancient grudge. Are you basically sore because you think they have an easy life?
I personally think our political system sucks, but i don’t advocate absolute change and revolution! Monarchy has it’s place in our ‘modern’ system. Church and State are separate, unlike the US. Enormous amount of charity work, good causes, diplomacy and keeping trade relations going. In essence they are a brand against which many rely upon.
I’m not wanting to argue, and won’t. Just understand me when I say I’m a loyalist, and can’t quite get to grips with your hatred of such a fundamental part of our global identity.
