Re: A bad year for the Royals

How much less, if anything, would a President cost us?

If such an idea got through Parliament would it really be a popular decision?

Do you really think people will be happy with Charles being Mr Windsor-Mountbatten?

Or to settle matters would you just simply chop their heads of or shoot them in a cellar?


Think about...... Hmm.

Re: A bad year for the Royals

A president would cost us less we would have to provide for their offspring ad infinitum .
Also the selection of good suitable people to be President would be much bigger rather than from one somewhat lacking gene pool .
Who cares a monkeys what he's called .
Certainly not 'the people '
The age of serfdom is long past
Why would anyone chop off their heads ?
He can carry on living just as he does now a life of leisure as one of the worlds richest men .
