I do think it’s funny as all git out that you’re finding it tough to criticize the monarchy on a board full of knuckle-dragging right-wing Yanks, but I can be as sentimental as the next guy. They look like really sweet people. And my tax money is paying Hillary’s salary. Just shoot me. ;-)
However much I dislike Hillary - she is elected and as a believer in democracy she can rightfully claim some money
I never elected the royals.
As for criticism - I think most here would agree - they may ‘like’ them, but ask them if they want the same, the’ll laugh in your face.
Beside, as I’ve said, it’s nothing personal, most of them are decent people - I just disagree with the concept of a monarch. Orf with my head I guess....
