While it may suit your agenda to imply that all criticisms on the monarchy are based off jealousy it sadly doesn't make it so.
Not everybody is so self-centred to allow differences in material wealth to cloud their judgement, don't assume everybody else is as intellectually flawed as you are (note : this is not an insult - but a stated fact based on the constant logical fallacies you keep falling into).
The performance of the Royal Family, the financial contributions are all void points.
Firstly, we have no point of comparison to say how well an elected head of state would have performed.
Secondly, we have no idea as to the potential economic benefit an alternative head of state could have with the UK - along with potential changes in recent times a strong head of state would have been quite useful (ie, our involvement in recent conflicts).
Neither do I believe the economic benefit is justification for the existence of a institution at odds with the very idea of equality & social mobility.

Something to cheer you up.....
Don't forget to wave and smile at the cute little fella.
awww lol.
Don't think I'll have much chance to smile and wave mind you.
When I last saw the queen in her cavalcade I stuck the middle finger up at her. This was admittedly some 15 years ago.

No wonder he is screaming! Look at how he is restrained.
The royals are treating it like they are treating the rest of the UK.
Am I doing it right?
Good for them in all seriousness. I'm not bothered by the royals but I'm not a narrow minded fool and can appreciate the wider appeal they have to the rest of the world.
awww lol.

A few more pictures like that and we'll turn you into a rampant royalist.

For all the hate I'm apparently accused of, no one seems to have cottoned on to the Royalist symbolism in my signature.
I do the hater thing all wrong it would seem.

I was 14. And yes, I was quite pleased with myself. I have been to the garden party since then to see what all the fuss was about, their sandwiches were crap and the bubbly cheap.
Wouldn't go again.
It gets better each time. Encore?
Thank you.

Would you go into a particular Grand Prix thread to moan about the whole of F1, it's rubbish, it's just a parade, it's just cars driving round in circles for two hours, it's not a proper sport etc? No, you wouldn't clutter up the thread about a particular event for that... you'd create a separate thread for discussion on that topic.

Poor comparison, the head of the state to which I'm a member of is actually related to me, a sport to which I have no interest isn't.
Please try harder.

PaddyPower are offering 500/1 odds that the baby will be called Rumpelstiltskin!
That cracked me up.

I was referring to the second part of your post. Republicans have already been making sweeping statements denigrating those holding a different position.

Baby picture in post #705 looks like the straining a crap pop star does when they fake hitting a high note.
So that's my input and God I wish it wasn't.

That's not a trait exclusive to Republicans either.
Many people seem to think that you must hate the UK if you dislike the Royal Family, simply don't understand economics, are jealous or simply "angry" - ignoring the vast numbers of reasons a person may or may not agree with the concept of an unelected head of state.
People build straw men on both sides of the argument, it's hardly surprising that it's an emotive subject - it's one related to identity.

The OP in this thread is in relation to Kate having a child, wishing her good luck and asking about names. It doesn't mention anything about the head of state nor your points of view on the Royal family.
Please try to read the OP harder and stay on topic
