People would still visit the UK for its history and heritage if we put Charles on 40K a year and stripped him and his hangers-on of most of their wealth. Might even create more tourism opportunities if we hoofed some of them out and stuck their belongings etc in a museum and opened more up as attractions.

They are just a bunch of fuck-ups, gone from being a pointless expense to an expensive embarrassment. Get rid I say.

Surely it's now time to get shot of the Royals for good?

The problem with critics is that they spend their whole lives doing nothing but watch films so always end up wanking over films that are a bit different to the norm, just because they are different.

I was in A&E not long ago, also for a family member and much of what struck me was the same, except most people waiting to be seen appeared to be old/fat and English, whilst many, if not most of the staff performing heroics were people if colour or of foreign descent. The NHS does need reform but the biggest drain by far is old people.

Bet they do, they will see this as an easy fixture.

Of course there is plenty that is worse now than 20 years ago, plenty that is better as well. What I am most proud of about the country (our values of compassion, tolerance, fairness, freedom and democracy) hasn’t really changed though.

I don’t necessarily disagree but you should still be proud of a county that takes care of the most vulnerable. There are plenty of places around the World that don’t, it’s pure luck that we were born in a place as great as the UK that does.

In my opinion our welfare state is something we should all be proud of, taking care of societies most vulnerable is something a good country does. It obviously has its faults but historically it is something the UK should be proud of.

He’s supposed to be a comedian?

What like?

Exactly. Using the word colonised and making up figures. It's a very thin veneer, almost the thin as some on here.

What is the point in persisting with this clown?

Archer is just fucking useless.

I disagree, surely when two players are fouling each other it can just be ignored. Refs do it all the time.
