Royal parasite is stupid/clever enough to get her jugs out. Opportunist gets pictures of jugs.
UK taxpayer funds legal appeal to prevent publication of jug pictures. Royal parasite gets compensation.
We're paying for the fucking stupid bint to sit about with her tits out and she gets paid for it too!
Where's my republican gun - my trigger finger is itchy.

I despise the royal family and the fact that we subsidise what, in any other context, would constitute a mildly entertaining minor channel reality TV show.

Sorry - I thought you were holding this up as a moral of our times in case the monarchy collapsed.
It's got to be 25 years old but as I remember it depicted Edward and Andrew as useless cunts.
How prescient.

The obvious solution here is to put them on stamps

I believe that our dear queen gets royalty money for her image being used on stamps anyway, so it's a logical extension.

where have the cuts been? They've been a pathetic piss in the wind.
I also think that most attempts at such progressiveness have been counter productiveanyway.
Gove and Duncan Smith have, tbh done well and their slightly traditional methods will, I feel , have good results in terms of raising academic standards and ending the "welfare as a lifestyle choice" culture.
( , Tue 18 Sep 2012, 20:25, Reply)

Gove is a prick. Ken Clarke I have a lot of time for.
And Cameron said they would be socially progressive. Apart from gay marriage, not a sign of progressiveness.
Same old Tories. And wankers like you who have no fucking idea about how the cuts have affected real life are cretins. Osborne has caused a double dip. The economy is worse now than when the Tories took over, that in itself is fucking pathetic.
Now shit off and get cockAIDS.

They should tear down the culture of over the top health and safety and political correctness.
They should tear down the drug laws. The alcohol laws.
They should get out of Afghanistan.
They should disestablish the CoE.
They should tear down the immigration laws that mean worthless parasites get active preference over intelligent or skilled foerigners.
They should tear down the system that prevents nonacademic pupils from early specialisation in vocational areas
But they should also lock more people up who deserve it.

It's poor implementation of them that gets bad press.

destroying confidence. Other nations, such as the US, have actively spent more money and they're even more buggered than we are.
Also, all these cuts didn't affect the Tories poll rating until the omnishambles, and then pretty much all the polling drop was caused by the potential for tax rises which is what most of the public hate more than cuts.
lastly, employment is slowly on the up, so this must be some dip, eh?
( , Tue 18 Sep 2012, 20:38, Reply)

I'd suggest that you look up the WPA.
In summary, it was a very effective effort by FDR to inject public sector money into the US in the '30's. Unfortuately it was pissed up the wall in many states by your sort of abrogated government.
The states that used it properly used it well. A lot of our chemical products still come from Louisiana as a result of Huey P Long investing wisely.

There's a whole lot of reasons but the main one is that we simply don't have a flexible enough system, unconstrained by dogma, to accept that degree of expansion.
( , Tue 18 Sep 2012, 21:01, Reply)

And whichever shade of blue assumes control when this lot gives up will have no alternative but to keep cutting.
There is no precedent for where we are. Whatever you think is the answer will be wrong, because there isn't an answer.

... but it was an invasion of privacy. I only wish we could make them prosecute privately. Though I doubt a presidency would be much cheaper.
I should also point out that the Monarchy is a good investment in terms of Britain's cultural "soft power", it gives us the kind of image that makes foreigner want to buy Range Rovers, Bentleys, for the classy image

Can you justify royal list expenditure? Can you justify Duchy of Cornwall - just that one for now - evading an £18 million tax bill last year alone by claming royal priv?

I think It would be better if most (not all) crown property became public property. That's not intentional socialism by the way.

The lady in question deliberately picked the most secluded place she could for her holidays, presumably to prevent photographers intruding on her.
A French magazine published some photos of her, so she has brought various legal proceedings against them, in France. One of the things she did was seek an injunction, in France against the publishers, Mondadori.
At present, the French prosecuting authorities are deciding if a criminal charge can be brought.
Does this answer your question?
