There'd be relevance to that if the monarch made any government decisions. They don't, and there's no need to remove someone who doesn't do anything meaningful. Putting aside a principled stance, what's the detriment of us having a hereditary monarchy?

You won't find much about William in British media, but plenty elsewhere. Interesting.

I think Peaky Blinders went on long enough, and I'm surprised they've done a film. Breaking Bad was amazing, but the film spin off was a bit average. Hopefully the Peaky Blinders spin off is a level up from that.

The salt mine is great. Easy hop on the train.

Another shout for Krakow. So much to see inside and outside the city. Budapest is lovely and a great weekender. Reykjavik is wonderful, as is the area around it.

I get that, but you linked the two separate issues. For me, I don't see the fuss - the royal family don't have a negative impact on anyone, thus the hereditary principle doesn't impact them. It feels that people take a principled objection for the sake of it.

He was, but unusually, I agree with Ralph. The Royal Family has more benefits than negatives for me, and the talk of binning it off because Andy is a wrong un is nonsense.

Ha!! They're the ones I've tried post walk out. I've blocked out the shite I've seen in them over the years. The kit surfing sounds impressive though.

"Cut welfare" is an easy headline. You're just making noise. You need to explain what you actually mean. No child benefit? No benefits for people who can't work? No benefits to help people who are between jobs and actually looking for work? No state pension? Etc.

No idea mate, was years ago. The only one (or ones) I've tried since involved him going back to his car and injecting himself or some such, and riding a motorbike across roofs. Nonsense.

The ones I've tried have been so bad it's put me off them all. The only time I've ever walked out of a cinema is during a bond movie. The sad thing is, I love a decent spy movie or series - Tehran at the moment is class, for example. That's what I see as believable, not Bond.

Yep, shockingly shit imo. Just don't get the appeal, apart from the female casting. On the whole I don't like ridiculously far fetched or cheesy stuff, and Bond movies fall into both camps.

Aliens, anything Star Wars, and anything Bond. All bollox imo.

I thought it was decent tbh. Weird, but decent. Definitely no classic though.
