I did see some video about a guy explaining why the British Monarchy actually makes money for the country. I don't remember where on YT to find it though.

As a counterpoint, also watch this:

You do relies both those videos are out of date and both very careful at selecting what they show, I mean both duchies have payed tax voluntarily anyway, and the new 2012 legislation makes both video null and void.

As for absolute monarchy, I support the British monarchy entirely, but I do not think absolute monarchy is a good system for government today. You would be surprised however how much royal prerogative, influence and legislative power the queen has but choses not to exercise, and after over 60 years of rule, and a meeting with the prime minister almost every week of her reign she would be more than capable of having more power.

Since I am planning a possible change of direction, anyone know if Communications System Engineer is a decent role? I am currently in the middle of an electronic engineering degree so doing that role as a reservist seems to fit, getting experience while doing a degree as comms/electronic engineering are similar.

点击展开...

Don’t know much about the role, but your best bet would be to go to your nearest Army recruitment office and ask more, its probably a part of the Royal Signals, and I imagine the role is that of a specialist and as such you will probably be finding yourself moving around between units in a small specialist Royal Signals team or attached to a larger unit, but remember before that your training and main role will always still be that of a infantrymen.

Well considering the only other organised events took place in two towns nobody has ever heard of in the far North East with very little participation, I think people overestimate her hatred in some parts. Unfortunately what she done was not popular, but was needed, she know what needed to be done and performed it knowing full well the hatred it would cause, but she made the hard choice and did what had to be done for Britain.

It's small news in actuality, her mortal body is dead but her taint remains. There's really not all that much to rejoice about. Her legacy of greed and inequality have only grown since she was turfed out by her own party.

And at no point did she do what was needed for the country, since she had no concern for anyone outside the tory fiefdoms. They did well under her. But outside that? Record unemployment, degradation of their communities and demonising of all those she deemed 'the enemy within'. If anything, it was the easy choice for her to pull the rug from under the working class.

点击展开...

Unfortunately she was right in what she did but the main reason for these downfalls was that she overestimated the help those who lost their jobs would receive in their area towards employment and overestimated the strength of northern mining communities to work together without the mines and she failed to build up industry else where to replace the failing mines.

People seem to concentrate on the things that were not in favor of the working class instead of looking at what she did for them Thatcher's right-to-buy scheme, the unions dominated the country we were like France is now with strikes for almost every small problem the country was crippled and her way to fix this was to take away the limping mans walking stick and have him adjust to the new way, she made a national curriculum making the chances for impoverished children to receive the same education as the child in Eton possible

Very event peaceful saw a lot more people clapping and paying respects, don’t think I saw any idiots protesters, and only heard a very little amount of shouting and abuse at very few points or if there was it was drowned out by applauds (so much for the predictions of mass protests), very symbolic a great lady who love her or hate her she deserved a lot of respect, she know what needed to be done even if the people didn’t know or want it.

Think I saw far more young people paying respects than protesting, once again it’s the very few making a entire generation look bad.

Hold that funeral anywhere outside of the southeast and see what happens.

She looked after her own and ****ed everyone else, Thatcherism at its core.

Doing what?

点击展开...

Hopefully an infantry Regiment, I was thinking a Household regiment but it’s very difficult to get into them due to their relatively small number of battalions and if you don’t have some kind of family connection it’s hard to get your foot in the door as it were.

So right now my most likely choice would be maybe in the local PWRR battalion or maybe even the parachute regiment if I can meet the mark. Thought about the Ghurkhas for a while then remembered I’ am rubbish at learning another languages, and that when I was told to do so in secondary school I more or less told my French teacher “F*** off I don’t need to know this stupid language they know mine” so maybe not the best attitude to learn Nepalese.

Hope to get my A levels and then go to university before going to RMA Sandhurst and becoming a commissioned officer of her majesty.

I want to join because I just know it what I' am meant to do in my life, to make myself and family proud and this may sound old fashioned but I generally love and wish to fight for my Queen and Country.

I picture this as the American and SK dream of what will one day happen in NK. (replace Iraq with NK and watch to the end )

You know things are getting real when NK is no longer just a blank country on Google Maps. 

I don't really see whats wrong with the current system of civil partnerships, it doesn't upset the church and people against it, and I thought a civil partnership was pretty much marriage anyway.

I don't personally believe gay marrage should be allowed as I don't think "marrage" can occur between a same sex couple, but have nothing wrong with something pretty much marrage in everything but name and it should be the choice of the parish vicar or priest as to whether this "union" can take place in the parish church.

I for one support kicking the United Kingdom out of the EU.

We don't need a country that lost a war against some colonists dressed like Indians to sully the good name of continental Europe.

I second us leaving , I think you were joking but if you were not come on at least learn some history before saying somthing as stupid and wrong as that , and the good name of continetal Europe  ofcourse.

Churchill never wanted Britain to be part of the EU he even stated as much in one of his speeches where he stated that Europe would have its union as Britain has its Commonwealth. I feel this quote of his best sums up how Britain should act with the EU...

"We have our own dream and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked but not combined. We are interested and associated but not absorbed"

Wellenbrecher 说:

Did I claim such a thing? Weird, I must be high.
Aren't we arguing that you claimed that it's general consensus to leave the EU? Yes? No? I think so, lemme check your posts.

BlackTide 说:

I don't you've quite understood, the general consensus is that we want to leave, the politicians seems to be the only ones wanting to stay.

点击展开...

Damn, yes we are.
I'm still winning here.

点击展开...

Of course you are said like a spoilt child in year one before they learn manners  , ok these show clearly the general consensus to have a referendum and to leave the EU.

Britain should leave the EU but maintain close trading links
Agree- 55%
Disagree- 41%
The British people should decide in a vote before Britain transfers any further power to the European Union
Agree- 84%
Disagree- 13%
The poll was undertaken by ComRes on behalf of BBC2's Daily Politics programme.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/the_daily_politics/7949104.stm

The Opinium/Observer survey found that 56% of people would probably, or definitely, vote for Britain to go it alone if they were offered the choice in a referendum.
The anti-EU sentiment is spread across all three main political parties.
The poll found 68% of Conservative voters want to leave the EU, against 24% who want to remain; 44% of Labour voters would probably choose to get out, against 39%
http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article1165626.ece

Also the National General Coucil on EU UK relations found that 78% in the UK were in favour of breaking all ties with the EU and renogiating a trade agreement while not being a member of the EU.

Aldric 说:

Kenski, Politics are not setting up referendum when they can find result opposing to their party/ideology line. That also why even when some country vote no to a treaty it's get passed out in the assembly because " it's too important to let the people choose, we know better"

UK current ruling party will never pass a referendum that they may loose. Unless there is a political gain from it.

Dont think you understand it was one of heir pledges for being voted in, and they are in favour of it just dragging their heels.

Yes, 49% for leaving in '11. YOu can find that number on numerous other sites as well. The Guardian has an article from two days ago that says 56%.

82% of people would like a referendum

does not mean

82% of people would like to quit the EU

点击展开...

No but if you botherd to read the lot you would see that 49% is higher than those who want to stay in due to those who voted didn't know and those who voted to just renegotiate our place so after removing these variables it equals a higher percentage to leave or at least renegotiate our place in the EU.

Don't know if the EU is completely doomed but the Euro is heading that way I believe. I think the EU will lose alot of states, and I personally hope Britain leaves as fast as it can. The EU doesn't offer us much more than we would have if we were not in it, and has far more negatives than positives for the United Kingdom; also it is becoming very unpopular among the public I don't know anyone who would say they support Britain being in it.

I'll save a hat you can eat with those words the next time France or Germany is at war with Britain. The whole point of EU was to tie the big players together so that European war would become impossibility - EU has achieved this brilliantly. Along the way, EU (and it's predecessors) has also improved trade, travel and education all over the continent, leading to a higher standard of living across the board for the majority.

Funnily enough, I've been living in the UK for over four years now and the only anti-EU people I've met are the sorry individuals  in the run-down pubs who get all their information from either The Sun or the Daily Fail, both infamous for their fair, objective and even-handed treatment of current affairs. See, I made a silly generalisation as well! So easy! The difference between us is that I acknowledge that my subjective experience is probably not all-consuming or wide enough to encompass the whole spectrum of opinion, whereas you are stupid enough to think that your personal echo chamber is all there is.

            I never said that its original point was wrong in its ideals or not to achieve peace and stability across Europe as well as trade and commerce, but even you in your paragraph you stated that this "was" the orgininal aim and unfortunately I feel it has been lost along the way, it was never created to dictate the politics that occur in a sovereign country and to dictate what laws may be in place, it was never made with the original aim of doing what I'm sure many in Brussels would want which is to create a closer unified political state in Europe, which would be governed and is being governed in a country across the channel who have next to no idea of what occurs in the United Kingdom and often share vastly diffrent views and opinions than that of the norm in Britain; just look at the anger caused since they demanded the government grant votes to prisoners and when they Denise the removal of terrorists and those who would come to live in this country but seek to destroy its people and hate its way of life.

            I'm sure the view in Britain varies place to place as to the EU and never stated otherwise in my statements but gave evidence Iam now to show that said statement does have basis in fact, but I can assure you where I live in East Kent an area closer to the Mainland than even London there is not even a growing resentment but a growing hatred towards the EU and ill give you that the view on the EU is most probably not to the standard of dislike as experienced down here but I can assure you even if not voiced publicly it is shown by polls across the United Kingdom that opinion on the EU is fast changing to a wish for Britain to renegotiate its place in the EU or leave it entirely. http://www.democracymovementsurrey.co.uk/dyk_pollwatch.html

            Although unlike you I'm not turning this into a insult contest, where you entire argument is on the basis of merely doing what you said the Sun and the Daily Mail do anyway which is slag off someone of a diffrent opinion to yourself. I do not believe the EU is all bad only it has lost its original ideals and moved down a road I hope it soon turns out of or that Britain does not follow.

The one thing I will say though is that if you yourself have only lived here for just over four years and were not raised here during your childhood, I must say it seems rather naive to believe you can state on the views of people native to this country just on the basis of four years a tiny amount of time in the spectrum of things, I'm not sure where in the United Kingdom you reside but I'm pretty sure its one of the more liberal centres such as London.

Ok thankyou .

I feel some of his views and his motive of loving Britain is good, but on the whole some of his views just go too far for me.

This may sound stupid but I don't often post on forums, but what does OP stand for I'm trying to break it apart and place it but cant seem to do so is it opening poster or page something of the sorts...

Maybe they were, I don't know where these chaps were from  I think it was Amsterdam or somewhere of the sorts  don't know the Netherlands too well I'm afraid.

Maybe, they were on TS and we ended up on the subject when they asked me why British people seem to hate the EU and i asked them what they considered themselves between being Dutch or European maybe they were being trolls who knows, sorry if I insulted you.

Edit: Also meet a few at a swimming gala in Calais who said the same.
