Appreciate that. But raising property prices have put a lot of the population within the inheritance tax system rather than just upper echelon. Realise that it’s significant jump for a lot of people tho

That's the fault of Russians, like Usmanov and Roman, they bought so much property in London house prices rose, and it knocked onto the rest of the country

Because being anti monarchy is a big part of the How To Be a Kopite check book, dont forget there not a sincere fan base, they follow the rules and play to the gallery. It's a bigger thing with them then any other fans base, that's how sad they are.
How many kopites can actually tell you why they are anti monarchy? Very few, same with the anti Tory thing.

Forget about them. It's nothing to do with those phonies. It's all cosplay.

The issue here is Everton fans.

Worked out well the last time didn't it? I live in Warrington, a town that has a strange affection for Oliver Cromwell reportedly because he allegedly spent one night in the town during the Civil War.

All Dictators start off as genuinely benevolent, but most of them don't stay like that once they get used to the trappings of power. At least with our monarchy we know that in reality they are only symbolic with no power over us. If it aint bust don't fix it.

Hence why I'd like a genuinely benevolent one. If they stray from that path then they are no longer genuinely benevolent and I'd further argue that no "benevolent" dictator has ever started that way. It was a tongue in cheek statement of the impossible.

And the monarchy is integral to the structure of an elitist power structure that is neither elected nor accountable. The belief that they are merely symbolic with no power is akin to the greatest trick the devil ever pulled. No organisation that has hoovered up so much wealth directly from the serfs over hundreds of years is powerless.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a fitting for a tinfoil cap :D

Rubbish. So you want to be pro Tory and pro this cesspit of a monarchy to spite imaginary RS on the Internet?

Some of the Royal family are alright and some are scum.

They didn't choose to be born into the family, it is what you do with that circumstance, that is the important thing to look at. There are plenty of good stories about how the Queen dealt with this, along with Charles, William & Harry. They have all come out of the birthright with positives, there will always be negatives as they are humans and have to follow tradition, etc. but there are definitely a vast amount of stories where they are personable and do good things.

Definitely enough to not be a [Poor language removed] about a seemingly nice old lady passing away.

I keep seeing this line being posted online by people (with different wording obviously).

I think people are getting not being bothered confused with being a poor language removed...

I have not really seen an awful lot of bad comments about the Queen's passing. One or two of course but nothing major. Not being bothered about her passing is not the same thing.

Also it's hard to tell if they are nice or not. They are not normal people. Nobody will see the real person behind the act, good or bad.

I'm anti-tory, anti-monarchy, yet I hate the behaviour of those idiots because it's nothing but performative nonsense and I don't want to be associated with it.

I cringe whenever I'm at a gig in this city now and there's a bunch of kids trying to hijack it singing "[Poor language removed] the tories" .

As has been said, these people couldn't tell you why they hate the monarchy or why they hate the tories.
