I reckon he has a royal family quilt cover and matching pillowcases, probably framed pictures of them on all on his sideboard

Phil was caught calling him "can't bear him he's awful"

Nicholas's rescue of Sue Lawley on bbc newsnight from activist's wasn't heroic?

I can imagine him been a right dick. the BBC probably made the job up just to get him out of the way of everyone else. Cushy number like, wonder if he walks the Queens Corgis?

I knew him in the mid-70s at Leeds Uni. He was involved in student drama and directed a couple of plays - badly. He was posh, very ginger and not very popular, so nothing much has changed. Done alright for himself though, hasn't he? Most people of a certain age know who he is.

just like all the others for me. its a posh persons job and would hardly be given to someone with a northern accent who has been a lifelong republican. however if e emails me i can pass on the name of someone who owns a pair of queen victorias knickers if he fancies em.

Judging by the number of kids she had and the attentions of John Brown, she didn't appear to have her knickers on very often. No wonder people were acquiring them.

The Crown on Netflix was a good watch and didn't paint the Royals in a good light, fookin parasites the lot of em

its the system that allows em to be parasites thats the problem. laws getting the so called royal assent. what a load of shit. doubt any of the royals had to queue for their virus jab at some converted facility miles from their homes. just wait till when lizzie and phil snuff it. the outparing of national grief and the BBC news reports will put our blood pressures on a record high scale. bow, curtsy and scrape to another human being. i,d rather take the knee to the black liberation movement and thats saying something.

I could say yeah we get it, you don't like the Royals, like you don't like the Tories but I won't.
Then I could go on to say that they're human etc and make mistakes etc, but I won't.
Get my drift or do I have to mention Rational, tolerant understanding folk.........
Funny old World innit,

Say it like it is, like I do. I don't like the monarchy , or the tories, and many other things , and I am open and honest about that.

I mean, imagine going through your whole life telling lies

and doing so just to follow the majority or the popular agenda of the day.

I think you mean you say it like you see it from your biased anti Royal, anti Tory, anti capitalist, pro socialist standpoint. That is a World away from saying it like it is. I think most of us fall into that category. We say it like we see it.
For example you called the Royals "fookin(sic) parasites" but that is only your opinion and not necessarily like it is. A Royalist supporter could accuse you of telling porkies and therefore also be guilty of going through your life telling lies.
The moral high ground is not your domain and it never will be.
You are entitled to have an opinion but you are deluded if you think that opinion is anything other than just an opinion.

I can't even be bothered to reply. You are incredulous Derwent

But that is what people do in reality, follow an ideal. We have far left, far right, middle ground, capitalism, socialism, Royalist, Anti Royalist, Protestant, Catholic, Other Christian, Islam, Hindu, Sikh, Atheist etc etc, most of whom think their choice is the best one and most of them got their choice through brainwashing by their parents or communities. So in effect it wasn't a choice in most cases anyway. I would love to know who decides what the popular agenda is. The only thing that I follow with any sort of passion is Pools and they can hardly be referred to as belonging to a majority or a popular agenda, and I was brainwashed into that.
There are very few people who judge everything on it's merits in a fair an unbiased way. I have never met one and I'm certainly not one.

I didn't expect you be able to reply but in reality you have replied and in your reply you have demonstrated you just haven't got an answer.
I thought you were the one who ties me in knots.
You have extreme and biased views. I have no problem with that but I do try and educate you to look at the bigger picture and see that there are alternative opinions to yours. Maybe one day eh.

Seconded

think the popular agenda,s we live with has changed over the years by a majority of people buying into one idea or other with more than a little help from the media. even if they give a good and reasoned argument about things like race and sexuality they will be shouted down by those with far less information or thought in their hands. usually its just ends up by being accused of some kind of ist by them. in the early 60,s i got so much stick for being an athiest and a republican at school you could not imagine. 60 years on so many more have a similar view. same with people with pacifist views and the inhuman acts on queers as the gays were then known. think people do come to their decisions with some sort of thinking about the merits of all situations. you just do not wake up one morning to become a republican or continue supporting pools after your dada influence on you dies out.

That's fair comment Mr Accy.
That red wall situation at the last election was a big Damascus moment. Will people revert to type at the next election I wonder.

for me what i have heard from some of these mp,s is that they should be judged on their performances and hopefully not the prime minister or their parties agenda. some have come out with common sense statements and not pre rehersed party line crap.

To be fair to Boris I think he encourages that. Johnson and Sunak are a far better pairing than Cameron and Osborne were, who I didn't rate at all. Too much austerity, that's all they were interested in. The fact that Boris is prepared to listen and change (commonly called U turns) is a breath of fresh air for me. There is nothing wrong with listening and then changing tack, as Marcus Rashford proved. How many footballers have had a personal phone call from a PM asking for their views and personal experience. Ground breaking stuff when you think about it. Rashford's manner and demeanor also played a big part. Much better than the tub thumping manner often seen from others. None of the "Lady's not for turning" nonsense of yesteryear.
Apologies to Mr I for criticising his sweetheart. LOL.
Interesting stuff, Mr Accy.
