  • Can someone explain to a non-native the purpose of writing endless pages (and sometimes pointless comments) regarding something you have the uttermost disdain of?

    Perhaps it's a quintessential British thing of complaining "in private", but it's not like anything said in here has the pretence, 0r the substance, of actually making a difference (i.e: the abolishment of an archaic institution).

    Genuinely interested and not an inflammatory/provocative question

  • We just love a good moan

  • In private? - people talk about this openly and I’d happily, publicly protest against the monarchy and preachy sycophants who suck up to them.
    This is an Internet forum and that’s what people do on them. It’s a good place to vent and get others opinions.
    Just like how much most average people can see the double standards of trump, putin , david beckham and family, members of parliament etc and be able to discuss them without going down the pub like natives in the UK do...
    You don’t have to read it

  • As with every problem on the entire earth, most people don't give a shit and only people who care deeply bother to complain

  • It's just chat. Like being in a virtual pub. Royalty is something most Brits have an opinion on, but mostly (ime) not a massively extreme opinion. The monarchy is an ever-present fact of UK life, but has little everyday impact - queen's death and netflix/tabloid hoo-ha apart. They are not going anywhere anytime soon even if thousands took to the streets.
