I would rather drive a forklift than be a slacker in the Royal Family and mooching off the British Tax Payer.

They are not “moochers” - the Crown Trust contributes far more to the UK Treasury than the House of Windsor spends, not to mention all the further revenue in tourism they generate.

I think I'd take the Royalty, he could always drive the forklift around Balmoral for fun!

And I’d rather have a monarch than a choice between a man who thinks he’s a god and a man who believes he will become one.

I agree. Also Mike Hastings seems to have refrained from weird behavior and strange marriages, unlike a certain other family in England.

The town where he lived, Jerilderie, makes very fine cheese - rich double brie. Make sure to get some if ever you are in the area.
