    You like Princess Anne?? She looks like a horse that been sucking piss off a nettle. And has the attitude to go with it.

      Parasites. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw: it makes as much sense to have an heriditary head of state as it does an hereditary mathematician.

      Haven't voted as neither of the no options reflect my views.

        But good olf Prince Charles has a great farm that produces some bloody lovely food.


        Not to mention our whole society is built around them. If you removed them it would throw our armed forces into chaos, the church of England would have no patron and we would loose our national anthem!!!!

          As a purely figurehead role with no real power and a great tourist attraction, I think the royals are fine.

          Mind you, I'd quite like to see them have the power to throw politicians in the tower again (or worse)

            If they're such a great tourist attraction, why not make them apply for their funding from the English Tourist Board along with everyone else - then we'll get a proper business case. And if we're interested in making money out of them, how about pay per view royal mud-wrestling. The international sales from that would be massive.

                I bet Charles I's execution drew the crowds in as well.

                  I can live quite comfortably with that.
