I stated above that I am not a Royalist.

Also, on another thread, I stated that reading these threads has in the past caused me to change my opinion from time to time.

Well, I may not be a Royalist but reading some of the shite above leads me nearer to defending the present system if its detractors have nothing to offer but envy and distorted figures.

I have a gong, been to four garden parties and escorted members of the Royal family around hospitals and still never called myself Royalist.

But you know what? Anybody reading some of the diatribe in this thread would be hanging the bunting out before they got half way through it. Some people seem to mistake feeling sorry for themselves (in the guise of sticking up for those they don't give a shit for) for egalitarianism.

Might take a leaf out of Bridge's book before he got old and confused, and become a one nation Tory.... Al least they have something to fight for, what with the Westlothian question etc. And one thing about agreeing with the Tories, you don't actually have to change your mind on anything, as they are the broad church Wilson used to claim Labour was.

Tally Ho!
