'the royal family are a rotten lot,

You also clearly believe there is something in their genes but in a bad way.
That is silly.
It is just an accident of birth.
No more or less "rotten" than any other family.'

Not really I used to work with a guy who was a choirboy at Windsor, and so for years he got to see them very close up - and he tells some pretty damning stories about their behaviour and attitudes. Never really felt one way or the other about them til then. I think they really do believe that they're made of superior stuff to the rest of us, and the sycophants sort of flesh out the fantasy for them.

But look down the front benches - both sides of the Hof C and see all those wellscrubbed English public school faces deciding whats best for us - and I think most sensible people have qualifications and/or doubts about the English class system......well one day we'll have start at the apex - which is the royal family.

England is tiny little island. And they only care about their bit - so a two bedroom flat in London costs up to a million quid, and there are parts of the northern England where nice houses are worthless. They're simply getting it wrong. It is broke - it does need fixing.

Oliver Cromwell was a nasty piece of work by all accounts - but that doesn't mean we can afford for things to stayas they are.
