Hendo Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 2 hours ago, faraway saint said: Hendo couldn't help himself........................... Prince Andrew was heckled by a protester who shouted 'You're a sick old man' at him as he followed the Queen's coffin through the streets of Edinburgh. The man appeared to shout aggressively as the Duke of York passed before he was pulled away from the passing procession. A short scuffle appeared to follow before police led the man away as he shouted "disgusting' and "I've done nothing wrong". I wonder what is worse - A. Being a nonce. B. Calling out the fact someone is a nonce. C. Physically attacking the person doing the calling out. D. The person doing the calling out getting arrested, not the people who attacked him or, indeed, the nonce. E. Spending millions celebrating the life of someone who covered up the nonceness. F. Thinking A, C, D and E are all fine, and B is the thing thats wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6er Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Some vocal critics of the Monarchy have been arrested or spoken to by the police. That's not right, of course, but there have been issues relating to freedom for a while - e.g. Count Dankula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's given thousands a chance to pay their respects in a way that simply wouldn't have happened had she passed away down in England. It's shown, beyond doubt, that the Queen and the royal family have a real love for our country and that will continue with Charles holding the reins. Aye, she was born in England but she's had feelings for our country that many who were born here don't. I think you'll find that once society has moved on from the Queen that the Royal family will have a job on their hands in Scotland. I would say that there would be a majority who would vote to get rid of the monarchy in Scotland with the Queen out of the picture. The royal family as an establishment is under huge pressure to reform to a different model, possibly along the lines of Scandinavia or Holland etc. Doubt it will happen under Charles who is part of the problem, may fall to William to modernize. You only have to follow this thread to realize that most posters on here so far are not Royalists at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used the word, “province”. I used the word “provincial” in respect to people living outside a country’s Capital city. If you’re going to criticise my choice of words, please choose MY words to criticise. Don’t make up your own, then blame me. That's a bit unfair. ”I’d”?
