People moaning about the Royal Baby

This kind of thinking makes me feel physically sick. It angers me too much to be able to articulate a proper response, so this will have to do.

I think Catkins is talking about people who get pregnant and it was not planned but then blame the fact they have no money and it costs to much to have a child. There could be far worse ways of putting it, but Catkins articulated it perfectly.

Some 'royalists' are the most intolerant people I have ever come across.

I neither dislike, or care much, for the Royals - they are what they are and I am glad they had a healthy baby and wish them well, as I would any new parents.

What I can't tolerate is the pro royals who dare to suggest that you are some sick and twisted individual because you don't share their adoration of a group of people they have never met. Last night I lost two friends because they deemed a comment I made 'vulgar, sad and disgusting'. Actually, all I said was that I didn't understand the amount of hype over a baby being born, especially one that would lead an incredibly privileged life.

Not particularly up there in the most offensive stakes is it.........

so what on earth do you think would replace the royal family?

How come Paris draws more tourists without a Royal Family?

Streamline them and get rid of the awful ones such as Andrew and his two children (make them work) Edward and his wife etc.

I do not care how little they cost us, but I would like to decide whether I want to contribute to them.

Once the Queen dies I hope that there is a radical change to a smaller streamlined Royal Family.

Shame some old folks can not heat their houses but the Royal Family are pampered and fawned over.

The best bit was all the people/news crews camped outside the hospital anxiously waiting, and when the fella came out with the document he just jumped straight in the car - ha ha ha ha ha!

My favourite bit was from Sky News - the big BREAKING NEWS banner was on screen... and next to that was, "No news on the name of the royal baby"!!! :rotfl:

My sister had a appointment at St Mary's yesterday with her consultant. Well, she should have. She arrived, and taught her way through the crowds only to discover it was cancelled. Having only recently been diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, and days away from running out of the medication she needs to stay well enough to work (for the emergency services). This cannot be prescribed by any other clinician because it is currently unlicensed.

The unit that is treating and researching her illness is being closed down due to lack of funding. 200 patients are going to be unable to get treatment. Just a few metres away a social climber is lounging in a room costing the tax payers £6k+ per night.

Something about that picture doesn't look right to me.

The Lindo Wing is private and paid for by the patient, therefore it generates income for the NHS. Isn't that a good thing? I don't recall reading anywhere that the tax payer was funding the cost of the delivery room, perhaps (the very wealthy) William or Kate (the Middleton's have money too) have paid for it themselves.

People taking to social media saying this baby is yet another strain on the welfare bill. Also saying that the baby will not amount to anything and born to parents that have never worked a day in their lives!!

I bet most of these people complaining are themselves in receipt of some sort of benefit for their own children!! Hypocrisy!!!!

You moaning about other people moaning. I'll bet you don't even understand irony.

Palaces we could house homeless people in/charge people to go around.

The Government don't need the queen's approval for anything really. It's not like she's stopped them fcuking up the country over the years, is it?

The chances are high that it IS the family that have paid for it, but the possibility that they may not be leeching off the public purse, would get in the way of a nasty vitriolic attack against the Royal couple. Couldn't have that now could we? I mean SOOOOO many other people are suffering because of this vile over-privileged pair. Think of all the lives affected because of their existence?! :rotfl:
