Well dude, go and have a chat with the Libyans about that. I don't like the royals because I would rather celebrate democracy and community rather than inherited privilege. I think the argument that they bring in as much money as they cost is probably spurious - but they are exempt from the freedom of information act so we'll never know. And while they are exempt from our democratically agreed laws, I am guilty of republicanism, punishable by life imprisonment. Fortunately in 2003 it was agreed by law lords that "this law does not prohibit peaceful printed advocacy of anti-monarchy sentiments" because of some pesky ideas about human rights.
So, I think the monarchy is undemocratic, unaccountable, discriminates against religion, ethnicity and gender, demands deference where none is due, and devalues intellect and achievement.
I am not suggesting we ban the monarchy, I am DEMANDING IT! We need a new meritocracy established. It is simple - whoever does the biggest sidehop is king.
HAHAHAHA Maybe not that far!
