If you are fed up with the 'Windsors' then I suggest you move to a country which doesn't have a Monarch and where you can be a citzen and not a subject....Somewhere that has a president as head of state....maybe a politician, who you know has the best interests of the country in mind and who works for 50 years representing the country and who widely respected through out the world...someone who's children also work hard for their country.....like Chirac or Bush....

she raises millions in tourism.
The Jubilee will be watched by millions, bring in thousands of foreigners who will spend their money.......which in turn helps improve our everyday life.
I hate it when people fail to realise how much money the Monarchy brings in yet they seem to focus on the fact that sh2 "does nothing".
If you don't want to watch the Jubilee "crap" then don't!

eh?
since when did Sophie and Edward work hard for this country?
or that Will bloke come to that? Or his dope smoking brother? etc.
You pay your tax, I pay mine. You work hard, I work hard.
Why should they be exempt from taxation just because they 'cut a deal' with the Tories when they were ruining the country - in mean in Government?

Not really, I just find Robin Ledgers post highly offensive. I spent 8 years of my life in the armed services having sworn allegiance to the crown to defend the right of pr**cks like that to say what they like....Democracy....would want it

I don't understand Jeff's views.
He supports peoples' democratic right to free speech - until they exercise it. That's a contradiction.
But, I'm not quite surre why he is sooo defensive of the Royals.

I don't understand where your going with the Edward and Sophie arguement....Neither of them are on the Civil List and therefore you don't pay them a penny from your hard earned taxes....
The 'Deal' the Queen did with the previous Goverment was to reduce the Civil List and for the Monarch to pay Income Tax. Charles' income comes from the Duchy of Cornwall so he's not on the list either, nor are his children. So a least get your facts right for bad mouthing something others believe in.

I'll defend your right to free speech, just don't expect me not to find it offensive or not to argue with you. I have a right to free speech as well.

Wasn't tax invented in the first place to provide funding so that the King or Queen at the time could send out armies to invade other countries?
Thus, taxes are monies to be paid to the Monarch for their chosen use. If Lizzie pays tax, then the money should go to her anyway!!!!
Things seem to have gone ****-up ever since the government was put in control of allocating the tax spend [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Err, Income Tax was invented as a "temporary" tax to pay for the Napoleonic wars. Still, it is worth paying 
for the quality of this country.
Now how about road tax? The Institute of Civil Engineers reckons that we need to spend £120 per tax payer on the roads to bring them up to spec. So how come we pay £150+ on VED?
Inheritance tax is an optional tax - careful planning means than you can avoid it. So lets be grateful for the effort put in by the Queen Mum during the war and leave it there.

To the moderator.....
How come it's o.k. to express opinions about our Monarch in these threads but not call a Pikey a Pikey???
http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=93893
Seems like a double standard to me.
Either we have free speech and can express our opinions, (however bigoted) or not....
(edited by me again 'cos I'm a complete novice at this hyperlink stuff.....dohhhh!!!)

lol- you see Tim this is the trouble with working for a living- you spend all day of SN then blunder in at 10.30pm and use a word (twice!) that would have got you deleted at 10am, got you beaten by 2pm, had you hung by 5pm and stoned to death by mad moderators at 8pm- god knows what will happen to you now!
