What exactly do you hate about him? Is it his stance on climate change or the Prince Trust maybe? The Royal family are an important source of culture, tourism, and soft power when the UK’s overseas influence is waning. What good to you think will come of getting rid of them?
Feel free to educate yourself bootlicker, I'll even start you off, but I don't have the energy this evening to invest in someone with their head that deep up the ass of the establishment stomping an all our necks..

It doesn't explain why you have so much venom. I see the royal family as British heritage. I don't see how having a monarchy with no real power has any effect on the day to day lives of British people. Certainly not enough to explain the hate.
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.
