All the royal fawners love to bang on about how the Queen is a lovely old biffer, totally harmless, never put a foot wrong, gawd bless her, isn't she magnificent and all that. All that duty, that service, all that hard work swanning about the place in a yacht, nobody else could do it so marvellously, trained from birth you know, so specially special. All the obsequious memes, the "do him in, 007" bullst. But consider this. Andrew is widely believed to always have been her favourite son. Puts a different complexion on the old girl's character, doesn't it?
fk the lot of them, the fking leeches. I bet they all think the commoners are so far beneath them they can do as they please. Obviously Andrew does. Trafficked, abused, vulnerable young women and girls? Pah. I'm a bally Prince, stand aside, my Mummy's the QUEEN I tell you, fwah fwah fwah.
Turn my stomach, they do.
Immediately caused me to hear that in the voice of Hugh Laurie as the halfwit Prince Regent in Blackadder. Plus ca change Baldrick!fk the lot of them, the fking leeches.

Now this is a just something I have made up just now...but...
It is a little odd that, contrary to pretty much every other female in their circles, Andrews daughters were a bit fat.
I mean royal teens, society girls, they tend to all be slim.
Now perhaps they just have the 'have 3 slices of cake rather than 1' (or too much Woking Pizza...) nature and refused to have a personal trainer, but then again perhaps they figured out that to be safe around daddies friends they needed to put on some weight
I should join the FBI with my skills

Don't think have Fergie's genes help with the weight, she was always a bit of a porker.It is a little odd that, contrary to pretty much every other female in their circles, Andrews daughters were a bit fat.

An elected head of state is a general expression of a nation's will and that's got to be healthier than the current set up.
You are aware of President Trump, aren't you?Also, a President doesn't have to be a powerful political appointment. It can be ceremonial, like in Ireland.
President Farage doesn't sound too good to me. Of course they will all go out for it, the political wannabe and lobbying.
I would be all for it if it were a joke position, one year in the seat, most power you have is what colour scissors to cut the sash at the opening of the local toilets. All decided by lottery and anyone earning above 25 grand a year is not in the draw.

Farage wouldn't go for a ceremonial position. He hasn't got the balls to go for one with genuine power attached any more either, the chicken st. He wants it handed to him, he deserves it in his mind. Lord Farage of the Dog and Duck, Earl of Fagbreath.

I’m not a ‘royal fawner’, I would just like to thoroughly and extensively research the economic and diplomatic Pros and Cons to the country before making a decision.
If they provide any kind of a net positive to the country then I would be happy to keep them, if not, then I wouldn’t have a problem disbanding them and handing the palaces and houses over to English Heritage etc
I’m looking at it purely from a business point of view, but you have to remember that millions of people in this country gain a sense of national pride and ‘enjoyment’ from having a royal family.
Last time there was a large survey, the public were in favour of retaining a royal family, by quite a margin.

There would be way more tourist revenue if all the palaces were fully open to the public. Look at Versailles: ker chingga. There are no rational arguments in favour of hereditary monarchy. All defences of it end up with waffle about dignity and respect, and are ultimately about old deference. Even Bagehot struggled to do more than mumble about dignity. How dignified are the Royal offspring? Not very.
The tired old argument that if no Monarch we would have a president who might be Blair or Beckham is weak. Other nations elect sensible people as ceremonial president: see Ireland as an example. Also there is no need for the head of state and the head of government to be two people so long as the person doing both jobs is elected for a limited term and has his or her powers checked by constitutional safeguards.

One might argue that we could increase tourist income by holding regular public executions of aristocrats, as the French did, but selling tickets to anyone willing to pay. They are sufficiently numerous, and have a reproductive rate adequate to provide an eternal revenue stream.
Having the particular birth canal via which the planet was joined, as the sole criteria for HOS selection must be the most absurd which could be devised.

Pride in what? A bunch of people living in privilege just through birth?

Are the US getting a little hypocritical? Saying Andrew needs to be questioned in the US but refuses to help with the hit and run driving wife?
Hypocritical given the blind eye they turn towards their presidents behaviour with the opposite sex. And of course Trump knew Epstein better than Andrew.
Trump will absolutely not want Andrew investigated by American agencies.

Or as Danny Baker tweeted after the Prince Andrew interview.
"We have a family that reigns over us.
A family who must be addressed as "highness" and "majesty" and "ma'am" and "Sir"
A family who are told to we bow to and curtsey to.
They live in castles and palaces.
They own huge bits of our land.
A "Royal" Family.
Everyone OK with that?"
Hmmm, the Danny Baker who is so 'In Tune' with the populace that he tweets 'funny' yet rather inappropriate monkey pics?"We have a family that reigns over us.
A family who must be addressed as "highness" and "majesty" and "ma'am" and "Sir"

If he is 'Against', I am 'For'.

But I agree with the other parts of your post. Let's get all the facts out there, and let the people decide.
What could possibly go wrong? ;-)

A clever one would have got a bit of cash of each to do it.

Does anyone know anything of Victoria's parents? I know I will be accused of victim blaming here but is it not odd that her parents didn't say Vicky love where are you getting the money to fly to London or Uncle Jeffreys island or did she go on Jeffreys private jet. It reminds me of the Sacha Baron Cohen movie when they were interviewing parents and there kids for a movie role and one of the parents was happy to break Juniors arm for the movie role. Anything for fame baby!
