wrighty Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Massive economic benefits from this - just think of all the commemorative teatowel manufacturers and plate painters that will increase their profits and thus tax revenues for the UK.

Chinahand Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It is totally wrong that our head of state is an inherited position. I also hate the sycophantic celebrity culture which makes Will & Kate's every grunt grind topless kinkiness and birth pang headline news. It is indefensible in a modern society. It is great that a young couple have had a healthy baby. But to tie this child and its parents to the sovereignty of the country and hence place them in a life both privileged and strait jacketed is wrong.

spook Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 An apolitical head of state has to be the best of all world's. We should be grateful that we have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
