rainbow2411   11 #121 Posted June 5, 2012 It is a process, the Good Friday agreement was a huge step forward, the Queens visit, confirmed and substantiated the progress made. From the perspective of an irish republican which British Politician could have made such an impact?  PS I am a he.  Hmm that's interesting why did I think you were female Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
digglydog   10 #122 Posted June 5, 2012 You really should study history a bit, amongst others we got rid of Charles 1st, James 2nd, also Edward 8th (had to put his arm up his back). Parliament runs this country, the Monarchy is the figurehead. The partnership goes back a few centuries and although not perfect works pretty well.  If we get a bad un, we get rid of them. Elizabeth has been perfect. If every body had done thier job as good as her we would be the richest country in the world.  Be fair, she hasnt put a foot wrong.  Of course she has put a foot wrong .She wouldn't be human if she hadn't made a mistake in 60 years .She has a very good publicity machine that makes sure the public only hear the positives. I find it incredulous that in the 21st century we are still believe in this fairytale nonsense.Do we realy still believe in the divine right of Kings (or Queens) ?

cressida   1,564 #124 Posted June 5, 2012 People may envy or knock her role and question what she does, but can you imagine a lifetime where your choices are so limited ? Yes she may have travelled the world and been waited on but she has had to endure a lifetime of pomp and ceremony, shaking hands, waving and speeches ...... is that really so enviable  Not forgetting some of the things she has to eat or drink:gag: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lounge Jay   10 #131 Posted June 5, 2012 Its not about the divine right at all, its about whats right for the country. The monarchy makes us unique, we should cherish it. PS name the mistake?  The Tories are all about self preservation, and not keeping things going with tax payers money; how do you square this with cherishing the monarchy??
