Whoever was in charge of entertainment for the Queens Jubilee bash has clearly got a sense of humour, either that or off their tits on Class A drugs....... Morrissey to perform the entirety of The Queen Is Dead album, presumably. That line up can't be real, surely?

Is it real?🤣 Fuck me. I’ll tell you what though I’d probably rather watch that line up than the actual one!😉

It's abolished already in most senses of the word. They don't really have any major power.
She opens new sessions of parliament and okays legislation. When was the last time she vetoed any? Even if she did, Parliament can then oppose and overturn a veto.
They merely just are. They provide a decent income to the country and keep the UK on the map. I doubt people would go in the droves that they do to London without the monarchy still being there. Old buildings can be found throughout the UK and are far less travelled.

They seem to in places like Versailles. I'd argue with full access to somewhere like Buckingham Palace as opposed to a guided tour or standing around outside waiting for a glimpse of someone/something the numbers would go up not down.......

When’s a good time to start talking about this again now that the Queen has sadly passed? I know people get very precious about timelines after a death……..

I’m not sure there’s a need to talk about it, it’s not going to happen in our lifetimes I don’t imagine. What I do hope is that there is a more open relationship between the monarchy and the public and that stringent protocol is loosened in the coming years.

If you're an abolishionist the the time is probably not now. The monarchy will inevitably see an uplift in popularity around the funeral/coronation and you'll probably just piss off people who might ordinarily be ambivalent.

Which, if any, of our elected officials over the last, say, 30 years, would you have preferred as our Head of State to the Queen? If it is not a long list, that’s the reason why a monarch with a lack of hard power is a very good thing.

What I do hope is that there is a more open relationship between the monarchy and the public and that stringent protocol is loosened in the coming years. That's both Charles and William's desire, apparently, to have a more slimmed down monarchy and a less formal one, more like the kind that is found on the continent. I think that's a good idea which would probably find favour with a lot, probably most people. Hopefully they get the chance to move slowly and gradually in that direction.

If it is not a long list, that’s the reason why a monarch with a lack of hard power is a very good thing. It’s not about the Queen it’s about the institution I had no real issues with her as an individual. I’m happy to see a slimmed down version as a bridge to what I’d personally like to see in the future, but when I say slimmed down I mean seriously slimmed down to get rid of all the parasites and hangers on. And whilst we’re at it we could start nationalising some of their multi billion pound property portfolio and the ridiculous amount of crowns, jewels, and general opulent shite much of which was stolen from other countries……

But that doesn’t stop it from being a ridiculous outdated institution. When it impacts on football though things start to get more serious……

There is no “agenda”, it’s a football message board and I’m killing time until the test match starts…….. The key to abolishing the monarchy (short of a revolution) is to come up with a truly credible and detailed alternative the majority would vote for - it's not enough just to come up with a list of things you don't like about Charles, Meghan or Andrew (or rhetoric about priviledge etc). Almost all alternatives involve an elected politician or ex politician. Faith in politicians has never been lower so I reckon few would vote for the alternative.
