It's currently on sale in a secondhand goods shop where it is commanding a very high price as it has barely been used.

I think barmonkey might have one of the two cells on loan at the moment.

Amazing really that seemingly ordinary people choose to defend this sickening institution.

In a country where people have to go to food banks, we have this extended aristocracy who claim their fortunes simply by accident of birth. These people swan about in 5+++star luxury, just because they happen to be born into this privilege club.

If we're talking aout my brain, or lack of same, I would suggest that these defendants of the Royals, perhaps engage theirs, and stop swallowing the vast PR machine which promotes these useless beings.

You can't open a magazine or newspaper without seeing fawning, sickly praise of the current pair of toffs who are on the front page of every mindless publication, apparently because they've got married and had a baby! Well big deal!

If 'hard working' is travelling the world in private jets with silver service 24 hours a day, then people, you're simply deluded.

Stop talking about MPs like that

Do you have any evidence to suggest that the press reports that suggest they bring in a lot more than is spent are wrong?

Also, are you suggesting we have no head of state? If you are suggesting a president instead, the cost to the taxpayer is the same. (In Germany the cost of having a president is equal to our cost of having the Queen).

Keep them on, but don't pay a brass farthing for any of them.
They can well afford it themselves., And make wingnut pay his taxes.

If you need the name of a good chiropractor I can let you have one.
