Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral The Queen & Prince Phillip

Pmsl Hear hear!

do you not like the royal family? i must agree on the funding bit being taken out of the tax payers money is wrong, nut i think they have a special fund for there trips etc, im not sure on that just what i have heard.

Waste of time, space and energy!!! (AND OXYGEN!!!)
Never watched a royal event in my life, even snubbed Princess Anne at Badminton horse trials once!!
They have got a special fund for visits....Its called US!!!!
Her loyal minions, yes mam, no mam, ill pay for your little walk abouts mam, it will be a pleasure even tho i cant afford it!!!! But you are royalty and we must bow to your greatness and superiority!!!
Well you know what that bunch of state sponging gits can go do dont you????
A short rope and a long drop comes to mind!!!

Im sorry you feel that way mr hose man, im very proud of our royal heritage, and they actually do bring a lot of tourism, they are not all bad really, but everybody is entitled to their opinion

Hoseman for President!!!

To Touchstone and Hoseman I cannot believe how uninformed you appear to be and I find your comments disturbing and offensive.
Our Queen is the most stable,wonderful dedicated person we have ever had in this country for a very long time. She is the head of my Church and I would not like to hear anyone say anything so harsh about the head of the Roman Catholic Church or any other Church.
When the Royal Families were rid of in Russia there was Stalin, Germany, Hitler, Italy, Mussolini, Spain, Franco, Greece, The military and so many more. I lived in Greece after the Greek Royal Family had gone into excile and believe me, it was not a nice place to be.
The Queen costs each of us approx 70 pence a year. That, to me, is excellent value for money and a President would cost a whole lot more for a whole lot less. Time to read your history books!
I think our Queen and the Duke's visit is wonderful for our region and at least you can't say she was snubbing us!

Well said granny.

Thank you Geekus, I could say a whole lot more but curbed my anger.

I'd rather have her than a president. I do love Phil the Greek though - his "Philisms" have me in stitches

The Queen had her role as monarch forced upon her at a very young age, yet has never once shirked from her responsibilities in representing this country or the Commonwealth Nations.

Regardless of anyone's personal opinions of royalty in general, she remains one of the hardest working people in this country.

Good. I think you could do with a history lesson of your own if you think Monarchy equals some kind of wonderful utopia.

I would much sooner have the Monarchy than Karl Marx and Engels ideas of Utopia. Karl Marx didn't even work he was classed as 'lazy'.
If you have something constructive to say then do so, we'll all read it, could be very interesting.

I'm with you Granny when it comes to the present incumbent of the Royal throne. An extraordinary woman who knows more about world politics than any Prime Minister. I am waiting for the day when she writes her own Christmas address instead of that thrust upon her.

well said, Engels and Marx where both born with silver spoons as well so they never experienced poverty they just wrote about it.

The Monarchy is a great part of English heritage and we should be proud of it, not many countries have a historic background like we do, which makes us very lucky.

I know this is going off topic, but ive started a Karl Marx debate in the History section, let me know what you actually think of him in there.
