Yeah nowhere in that post does it say my parents told me to support the Queen.
You've misinterpreted the phrase "brought up to be loyal" as "told to be loyal to the Queen". Loyalty doesn't just apply to the Queen, you can be loyal to lots of things. I've just happened to make a choice and stick to it.
The reaction I have got just goes to prove my point that the hatred of the monarchy is irrational. I make one reasonably put post and sudenly we sink to the depths of personal insults just because I show the slightest bit of support.
If it is the case that she has no power then she can't make a big difference in your life either positive or negative so why get be so against her?
Honestly you give the government £60 odd million and see how well they spend it.
I also think it's better to have a head of state that is not seen by the rest of the world to be so involved in the politics of a country. That way if you get an idiot like Bush in charge there is someone else who can represent the whole of country around the world.
How many people regard Bush as the spokesman for the entire US and think every one in the US is "just like him"?
I'm sure there are goind to be 1000s of well research statistics into exactly why we shouldn't have a monarch but at the end of the day how many of you can say your life has been adversly effected by having a monarch as a head of state?
