In reply to the discussion: Anti-monarchy group 'Republic' stages Jubilee protest on the banks of the Thames [View all]Jabez
(13 posts)A downright lie. In a recent poll the only royal tourist attraction was Windsor Castle which came 77th. Whereas Legoland Windsor was seventh. You clearly do not have any facts to support your absurd claim. As for removal of the anachronistic monarchy - the people will decide of course, but during a time of austerity, Republican membership has increased substantially because of the asinine over spend on the wedding and the Jubilee. We are working tirelessly to educate our children to recognize the absence of real democracy and misinformation propounded by the palace spin doctors.Moreover, excluding themselves from the Freedom of Information Act has created suspicion - what have they to hide? People visit England, Scotland and Wales to enjoy, its culture, buildings and scenery - and could not give a toss whether a 'Teutonic' royal appears on the scene smiling a sickly smile or waiving a limp hand. Once Republic UK membership reaches a few more thousand it will have history changing financial support to seriously alter matters. At the moment the mainstream media is closeted up the derriere of the royals, but that will change. It may be that Wikileaks or Anonymous will move things along quite quickly once they unearth 'secret' information that should be viewed in the Public domain.
