Was that in the Ale House?

6 Music have just played a song called "The man who seeks pleasure" by Madra Salach. I've no idea who they are but it has to be one of the most droning, dull, god awful pieces of crap I've heard in a very long time. It's even worse than anything Kae Tempest has released which is a very very low bar.

I'm really not sure I follow your logic here and it doesn't make any sense. Are you saying Gloucester should disagree with Carlson on everything because he generally disagrees on most things? Surely that's just silly and tribal?

Frustrating result but have to give some credit to Charlton. They obviously came for a point and were pretty sound defensively.

whom you could also remove under a democratic system, unlike a king or queen who ended up similar to Trump.

I’m thinking of going on holiday abroad. Main criteria is a current monarchy, any recommendations?

That was just an illustration of the absurdity of the hereditary principle. Andy being a wrong un hasn't affected my opinion of the monarchy in the slightest

I struggle to see why people get worked up over the suggestion that the monarchy should be abolished. Here's your first post in the subject as an example.

No, it's not really clear at all especially since you were saying it wasn't speculation. As Badger mentioned you might find tourism actually increases in the event that Buck house etc is opened up and provides greater access. It's whataboutery anyway, the point is that the hereditary principle and the monarchy are undemocratic anachronisms in a modern society.

I actually did take a quick look at those articles and it's pure speculation (obviously) and they even acknowledge that themselves with lines such as, "we have observed difficulties in fully grasping the extent of the UK monarchy’s economic influence due to the multifarious nature of their influence on society. Additionally, we have highlighted how problematic it is to rigorously measure the economic impact of tourism."

It's an undemocratic and unaccountable institution and for me that's enough. Quite telling that you would choose to shift the argument from democratic principle because it's a pretty indefensible position to be arguing from.

How about they're undemocratic? The idea that you can be born into the role of head of state regardless of ability or talent is laughable. The Andrew that you describe as a complete idiot and an embarrassment was once second in line to the throne and could easily have ended up as King.

Andy has got nothing to worry about, he's already a guest of his majesty. Suspect they'll probably chuck him in a cell for a few hours to try and sweat him out.

The kid from "Annie".

Yeah always felt Forrest Gump was the film equivalent of “We didn’t start the fire”; nostalgia porn for boomers.
