They are "British heritage" because they killed, conquered and stole from our ancestors.
So we blame the sons for the crimes of their fathers.
What do you mean by "blame"?
sorry, but arent the crimes of their fathers the sole basis for our worshipping them, allowing tbem political power and sending the pricks millions upon millions of tax payer pounds?
you dont reckon its a little disingenuous to complain about people shitting on their heritage when said heritage is the entire argument for their existence
You're not wrong. I take the view that our history, be it good or bad, is part of who we are as a people. However, I wouldn't want Britain to abolish the monarchy without good reason, and something that occured in the here and now rather than the past.
There are some replies to this thread that have enlightened me on the power the monarchy holds, which I don't agree they shoud have. I initially thought the monarchy was a symbolic relic, but it seems it's not the case.
