  • 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

  • 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

  • In private?

    As opposed to a formal protest in the streets, is what I meant.

    I’d happily, publicly protest against the monarchy

    But you don't, do you?

    Anywhooo, I didn't mean to stir up the pot, and I wasn't suggesting youse should stop whatever you want to do/are doing in here
