Didn’t the UK try a republic before and it ended up just as nepetismic and run by a despot?
Maybe todays politicians are more commendable….

Oh hold on
 
Ridiculous display of the brainwashing that the royal pr machine has achieved. I was at a half marathon and got shh'd by an aggressive looking royalist female when I said it was brainwashing like a nazi rally and I was offended by it all, all they needed was a few sieg heils at the end of the 'silence'. Why do they need to 'pay respect' at a sporting event, can't they do it somewhere private?
 

Difficult to see anything when your head is bowed boot licking.

And this from the person who insists that the Queen spent 'most of the year on holiday in Scotland.'

And by the way, I'm no monarchist, but I do have respect and tolerance for those that are.

However your bigotry - which is what I'm railing against here - prevents you from seeing that.

When dealing with such entrenched ignorance we waste our breath in trying to present perspective.

I'll leave you to your cave mate.
 
Some proper embarrassing kopitery here. Whether you agree or disagree with the monarchy and/or national identity is irrelevant.

Booing a silence respecting a death - any death - is classless and bang out of order. We rightly slagged off the mutants for booing the anthem (and Abide With Me) last year, and discussed whether they would 'shame the city' before the Ajax game last week.

Turning our own (admittedly minority) disturbance yesterday into some kind of republican statement is kopite whataboutery. When we stoop to their level we should get out of the gutter again, not revel in it.

We're better than that. Or we should be.
 
Bingo

It's one of the benefits of living in a democracy , some things you like & some you don't.
As long as we don't berate others for the views they have if they differ from our own.
Hmm kind of.

Don't totally agree with the last sentence. Part of that freedom is to be able to question what others do (as long as it is done respectfully of course).
