I just don't understand how we are taking it up the arse by having a monarchy?
The one argument trotted out is that we have to pay for them, and that is the reason it was pointed out they are a net income for us, so it would cost more NOT to have them, unless we raze all the royal palaces and build theme parks in their place? Or maybe some more starbucks? Personally I think the measure of a "life" are the choices we have.. the more choices we have, the better our life is. In that respect I think the royal family (the few actually on the civil list) have a shit life, I certainly wouldn't want any of it. Perhaps that's where the anti-royal vitriol comes from, you're all raging queens desperate to dress in primrose head to foot? Would certainly explain a lot :-) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Sent: 02 May 2011 17:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [LU] Non-LU: The monarchy, Aston Villa, life, the universe and everything Okay, okay, you royalists win! Let's all bend over and take it up the **** if that's economically beneficial. Lie back and think of England (well, London, anyway; dunno what the royal family has ever done for the people of Leeds). Oh, and while we're at it, we really should introduce this 39th game into the Premiership. The financial logic is irrefutable. As for AV, of course we shouldn't change a thing. Best bloody parliamentary system in the world, that's what I always say. My God, it's impressive! Brian Yes, yes, of course I'm just sore because they invited a load of flippin' trees to the ceremony instead of me. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
