Just label me as a iconoclast - a label I'd be proud to own.

Stansgran Churchill said that (more or less) about democracy, not monarchy.

jings Just because someone disagrees with your view of things/people and dislikes/disapproves of some of them doesn't make them bitter and twisted. You really have to work at being bitter and twisted. grin

Whatever your personal feelings about our royal family, they bring in a huge amount of tourist money to the UK and they employ quite a lot of rpeople. They do no harm and perhaps reign in a few of our more stupid Prime Ministers.

Could we leave it there?

Well absent, going by some of the remarks on here, when it comes to the Royal family it seems to come very easily! grin

Annobel I wouldn't dream of being anything but reverent towards her maj.

♥ Queenie.

Gosh I hope my lack of support for the royals have not made people think I am bitter and twisted! Far from it! I had a sweet, extended, fun filled weekend with friends and family. We had a right republican knees up !!
The only twisted thing about me are my arthritic fingers! grin
