I understand they're called the Buckinghams, me duck. As well as being part of the old Order of the British Empire, they already have a palace named after them, so clearly should be among the early heads on spikes, come the Revolution.

I've been thinking about possible new names for Victoria station. How about honouring the past attempts to kill royals off? How about Ahmen Khawaja Station?

I think Victoria should be renamed after @Markymark because it has absolutely no connections to the North.





Thank you, I'm here all week.

Will there be a run on QEII stamps or teatowels?

Feel free to post a picture of yourself so we can slag you off.

Precious few on here do that, wonder why.

All the people planning the revolution should be aware that HM has someone on her service who will stop you.

This is the same 007 who shoved her maj out of a helicopter over the Olympic stadium??

Too much Martini perhaps.

Hang on, are you saying Judy Dench is actually the Queen? I thought it was Helen Mirren.

What I do know is that when the inevitable happens, the BBC will go into sycophantic meltdown...

There will be equally predictable reactions from other quarters too.

I've been stockpiling union flags on sticks for months.. I'll be raking it in when she pops orf.

It will inevitably happen but the world will carry on turning and it won't make much difference to my life to be honest.

Likewise. I can't understand why people put other human beings on pedestals, worship them like demi-gods simply because of who their ancestors happened to be. No doubt there'll be people crying in the streets at the death of someone who, basically, represents fairy-tale monarchical fantasy world from yesteryear when kings & queens ruled the roost. And how did their ancestors happen to become 'royal' in the first place?. Probably back in tribal prehistoric times, it was a case of someone with a bigger club and bad attitude than others who fought their way to the top of the tree and thus decreed themselves to be 'royal'. There's nothing special about these people at all and I get fed up with the obsession with them.

Yep, as you may guess, I'm not a royalist. We should scrap the lot of them and become a modern republic. I sometimes think that the royal family only exist to give Daily Mail & Express journalists something to write about. All it will mean to me is that an elderly lady died (like everyone else) and there'll be someone else's head on stamp.

I reckon when Her Madge goes it will spell the end of the monarchy in its current form, i dont think "the people" will have the same depth of feeling for Chuck or Wills as they had for Betty and her mum. time for them to be downgraded like most of their European cousins

IIRC, the best guess for our current lot's claim to royal status is that some ancestor sucked up to Atilla the Hun and was made his ambassador to Constantinople and from them eventually descended the House of Welf and so the House of Hanover and so our House of Windsor. So ours weren't even those with the big club, but good lackeys. Or I might have misremembered it.

That's as distinct from their claim to the English throne, which has several big-club transfers along the way, including the Glorious Revolution, the Wars of the Roses and the Norman Conquest.

Of course democracy works so much better as only candidates suitable for the job and of high intelligence get elected
