Poll: Poll: Do you watch the queens speech on Christmas day?

linktoinsanity · 24 Dec 2013 at 13:02

Nope, but unlike some people in this thread, I have nothing against the monarchy. I'd just rather not sit and watch something boring on Christmas day.

I'm a republican and I suggest wiki is a good place to start if you are genuinely interested in why we have the views we do.

I have never watched the speech, and never plan to. Though, I don't understand some of the rude replies from some of the others that don't. There just is no need for it.

Because in this moment, he is euphoric. Not because of any unelected monarchs rule. But because, he is enlightened by his intelligence.

There's a speech?

malachi · 24 Dec 2013 at 13:16

Nope, rather spend it with my friends and family than sit on my backside in front of a TV screen on Christmas.

[Sarcasm] Oh, my. I've never heard of these republicans. I'll add them to the people I don't converse with, like blacks, the irish, gays and the poor [/Sarcasm]

Where do you see the Protectorate/Commonwealth/Inter Regnum in the historical context of Republicanism in the UK?

Nope, usually leave the room and leave the older relatives too it, seems to bear more relevance to some generations rather than others.

Fire_fly · 24 Dec 2013 at 15:09

I don't think I have ever watched one of her Christmas speeches.

I'm too busy stuffing myself with Turkey.

dekez · 24 Dec 2013 at 15:10

Yes if I remember.

'Harry · 24 Dec 2013 at 15:16

No.

I did once for a few minutes, it was ever so dull. I'd rather get smashed and eat.

Rossmac · 24 Dec 2013 at 16:48

I've watched one or two over the years, but thought they added nothing to my life.

Shan't be watching again.

Kosmiche · 24 Dec 2013 at 16:50

I'd watch it if they had a sign language imposter
