alright you snobby Brits... I have a question

[GregV814]

wow, a new King. whoopti doo...

I guess as far back as the 10th Century, the inbred are the chosen ones. What exactly do they do that another leader cant? And its almost eternal. King William, Queen Markel, Prince Albert in a can.... How does the dynasty burn out like candle in the wind?

Maybe, there's a guy working in a steel mill in "Liverpool down Tawdry" that would be a great leader. (and they have silly ass names for regions too) Tam on the Shanter, Postual on the Green....WTH???

I don't know why anyone would care negatively about the monarchy. It has nothing to do with you. People like me who are fascinated by them, it's just like any other celebrity except more interesting.

King and Queen don't really do anything anyway except sign whatever the PM tells them to and do charity/personal appearances.

I don't know if that's true or not, but the monarchy has no political power. The PM is the government head of the UK.

And yet you know Americans don't know chit about our US government

Anyway, it should be easy to find out. I know for a fact that the King/Queen isn't head of government; the PM is. But I don't know if the monarch can cancel any laws passed by Parliament. Will google and find out.

Constitutional conventions: Can the Queen really veto legislation?

By Mark ElliottProfessor of Public Law, University of Cambridge When the United Kingdom Parliament wishes to make law by enacting a piece of legislation, three things must normally happen. First, t…

Technically the monarch can refuse to sign legislation into law, but they never do. They are typically a rubber stamp and none of them has rejected a bill since 1708.

Is there anyone in the British Monarchy that is any worse than Joe Biden?


Why knock their Monarchy when we have a demented moron running our own.
Is Meagan Markle Farkle any more of a publicity whore than "dr." Jill?
Is Harry any more of a dipstick than hunter Biden?
Is Prince Andrew any more of a pervert than good old smartest man Joe ever knew Hunter Biden?
The new King wanted to eat Camilla's tampax but he didn't take a shower with his daughter.

Why worry about England's splinter in the eye, when we have spear stuck in our own.
