I quite enjoyed what I got to see of the queens show on Sunday , apart from a few bits. Not that I,m particularly patriotic or royalist, but I reckon there's a bit of feel good factor for a lot of ordinary people who are not anti royalty.

"So when have I described the Irish people as such? Example please "
About time this was put a stop to - now!
We have argued the subject into the ground on the relevant thread - I have said what I said and stand by it and the information that came with it.
I stopped when I realised that it was pointless to continue arguing with two people who were more interested in driving an agenda than exchanging information.
The thread is there for people to pull up and read for anybody who wishes to make up their own mind.
This is the second thread on which you have attempted to continue this argument, this time on the Queen''s birthday, the last time on the Labour Party - it has no place on either - so stop it.
I protested here on you appalling attitude to other members, I see you are still in full swing on another thread.
We were all asked to desist from our childish name-calling by Joe - I have tried, you have just refused.
Maybe it's time we set up a perma-thread where we can deal with behavior like yours without constantly fouling up these threads.
Take your obsession elsewhere, you convinced nobody then and you are only making more enemies now by nausing up what they wish to discuss
Please go aawy.

Our Queen has been part of my life. Whether she should have been there is a matter for conjecture. The fact is, I have enjoyed seeing her role as an ambassador for our country and watching her family grow to be ambassadors themselves. Anyway... whatever your views.... please take a look at her 90 years in a few minutes.... here    90 years in a few minutes.

I'm also of the persuasion that, in the 21st century, it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to come up with a better arrangement than a hereditary monarchy, Pete, but still one with no political power. But I also enjoed some of the pageantry that was part of the celebrations - not because I'm a sycophantic royalist (before anyone starts foaming-at-the-mouth and finger-pointing), but because I enjoy a bloody good, well organised, spectacle. And it was.

"but I reckon there's a bit of feel good factor for a lot of ordinary people who are not anti royalty."

I think you're right, and despite being a republican myself it's hard to begrudge folk a bit of joy and a chance to feel part of something larger than themselves, something that has a long history that us and our ancestors are all part of.

Can't be a bad thing.

But Jim this thread was keeping pretty much on track until your contributions and general references to other threads, completely off topic:

If you persist in making baseless allegations then you should not be too surprised when you are challenged on them. High time you addressed the content not the person posting, high time you actually took the time to actually read what has been said and view it in context.

"High time you remembered yo are addressing people who know as much, if not far more than you"

No idea at all why that sentence above should be in inverted comas - it is not a direct quotation from anyone - Besides as that is directed at me from Carroll then I will grant when it comes to traditional singing he knows a great deal more than me. However, when it comes to anything to do with history, current affairs or the military he is handicapped by prejudice and an astounding lack of knowledge and understanding in comparison to most people on this forum.

"I respond to what people say and how they behave, nothing else"
Jim Carroll

Nine times out of ten you respond to what your prejudice makes you think people said (Example from this thread: The system {Head of State} MGM-Lion was actually talking about and the one you thought he was referring to {General political capitalist system}). You are one of the worst behaved people on this forum, firing off groundless unsubstantiated allegations like a scatter-gun then running for cover when challenged on them. Your trouble is Carroll that you are awfully good a dishing it out but not very good at taking it. You cannot stick to facts because you have no idea what a fact is, so then your default position is personal attack and invention to put words in people's mouths. Examples of you doing precisely these things are plentiful and I can and will provide them if need be - you having been asked to do so on far too many occasions to count and have been able to-date to come up with nothing.
