http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html Well fancy that!

Now all we need is the rest of the so called royals to retire, And stop them poncing of the state.

When I was a kid we were so poor we all had to work until we were 95.

When you were a kid the first job you got was scrubbing decks on the Mayflower.

I take it you feel they are of no benefit to the country, I know for sure I would not have wanted to be born into royalty.

They're not jobs, they're hobbies.

Every family has their Prince Edward. Too wimpy for the Marines! I mean, what a joke - they let you hold hands and all sorts in the Marines.

Which is a good reason to set them free.

But then you will get someone who actively campaigns to be president.
I would rather have a relucant royal who feels an overwhelming sence of duty, than a "has been" politician as a President.
And the president will be re-elected every 5 years, how many other countries would benefit from a 60 year reign from a stable figurehead, with no actual constitutional power.

They could be other options.

Me being in charge, I know....I get asked a lot.

What a horridly laid out website the DM is!!


And I believe those "parasites" bring in more to the economy than they take by a long shot.

We were lucky with Betty. It is not clear we will be so with Charles.

As for Phillp, I'm a staunch republican, I wouldn't like him socially (as far as tell) and I think he is probably racist and sexist, but I would not question his work ethic.

Is he moving into a council house now?

Shirley he already lives in one?

You mean as in we could elect David Beckham instead of David Cameron?
