Royalty

Why?

You made a number of assertions. You have been asked to back them up. If there is any substance to the assertions that you make, you will do so. If not....oh well, you might as well pop this on ignore and place your head into the sand and admire the emperor's wonderful new clothes.

It's a rule for any forum - if you can't back it up, put your head in the sand and put the thread on ignore.
I'm putting it on ignore because I can't be bothered arguing about this any more, and it's upsetting me.

I have already said what I know to be true. I've not read any compelling 'evidence' on here which backs up other views and I have already said what my views are based on. Perhaps there is no conclusive report or evidence for any of these.

I'm not trying to shut anyone up who has a view and we are probably all right to an extent (though, what emperor are you even talking about Clive?)

I only entered the argument on the basis of finding some people's comments here about hoping the royals die and them not doing anything but taking from the people and economy quite offensive. Maybe I am just an oversensitive human.

I didn't stand in the rain waving flags, I don't particularly agree with there being a monarchy even, and I don't advocate elitism (in fact I spent most of my youth rebelling against this), but as far as carrying out a job goes, the Queen has been superb and selfless, and I know I am not the only one who has this opinion.
