Its Not About Tourism
 

The Royal Family of England have another scandal to deal with in the form of comments allegedly made by Prince Harry.

Decryers of a republic in England often lean on the fact of the contribution made by the Royal Family to tourism in London.

Others, like Tony Benn, tried and succeeded in giving up ancient hereditary titles to live as ordinary citizens (subjects) of England.

What effect will this have on the debate about the monarchy in England?

From the Guardian

The debate, such as it is, about the future of the monarchy can't realistically be conducted in institutional terms. Principles are all very well, but personalities trump them every time. Does anyone want to ruin HM's last few years by raising republican flags again? Not really. She's deserved a peaceful exit. But peace is the last thing to expect from the reign of King Charles. And it looks a very poor prospect when and if King William (or King Harry) gets the call.

I am all for Anti-Tourism.

I mean, when are we going to be able to stop all these acts of Tourism running rampant all over the world!!!

Could you do us a favour and open a thread titled 'I hate England' and post everything there? It would make it easier to ignore your ramblings. Actually a better title would be 'I hate England (but secretly wish I were English)'

Why not contribute to the New York v London threads if you want a contest.

Otherwise contribute to the topic at hand here. Or leave your nonsense at the door.

His Majesty Commands You!

Ill contribute to your threads when you do, which will be never then I suspect.

Greggy old boy, could you have quite possibly been violated in the depths of the White Tower?

With black curtains?

OMG the Empire is crumbling.

Watch the vid orf Harry and you'll see the reality his Dastardly Royal Deeds ...

He refers to a fellow soldier as "Paki" and swears alot. Typical soldiers-bored-as-hell-between-battles-&-maneuvers activity.

Tempest in teapot.
