Is it humans or corgis we're talking about here?
The French had the right idea, you won't find this thread's equivalent on the PSG fan forum that's for sure.
I think the French went a bit over the top to be honest, did anyone not think of having a referendum at the time instead of chopping everyone's head off straight away. not much thought went into that decision that's for sure.
Am no royalist fanatic. am not coming from that angle and go back a few years I would definitely have been very anti Royal, the days of the monarchy holding true power are over,. they abused the people but they were never alone, the upper classes have abused the working class the last few hundred years far more than any Royal.
Like many people on here ive always dropped into Liverpool museum for a walkabout throughout my life, it maybe just once a year or maybe a gap of a couple of years so I can make comparisons, same with the art gallery, remember many little things on display in those 2 places even as a kid in the 60s.
I remember walking in one day well before the slavery museum was even an idea and feeling very disappointed in all the little things on display that had been removed.
Walking out of the building and just I happened to bump into one of the security guards standing outside so I was wondering what is going on so lit a ciggie and had a little chat with him.
I mentioned how many of the extraordinary things that made this museum so special had been removed. the little shrunken heads from the Amazon, the slavery items on display. the guard told me he couldn't agree more. he said it's this PC lot they've got in there now, everything is considered an insult to some people, they've gone paranoid. we both agreed this is part of our history and should never be forgotten etc etc. ive no idea how the shrunken heads would bring offense to anyone, he said something like, yeah mad isn't it.
Thankfully people came to there senses and recognized this is part of our history and is extremely important.
I know full well supporting the Royal family is looked upon with the same sort of attitude, it does not belong in our modern world. how it's a dinosaur attitude we should move away from.
I value the history and the connection to the past far more than this particular queen. so am no flag waving queen supporter but I value our history very strongly,, we abolish the monarchy and we throw away a visual massive part of that history.
It's so easy to criticize the support for the monarchy without considering just what damage it will do if it is ever abolished.
