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.

Nonsense. These headline seeking articles compare apples with kebabs. A female teacher earns the same as a bloke, ditto copper, civil servant, etc. Sure, more women work in lesser roles in schools as they want the holidays off, but for there to be a genuine pay gap, they'd have to be earning less than a bloke for the same job, which they aren't.

He's a DJ. We all know that.

I didn't know that. None of the holy books/organised religions do it for me.

Dunno. I thought it was infinite. If it's not, I'm intrigued what's at end/sides. Must be like the world in the Trueman show.

It was your comment!

That's an alternative theory. Walls around the sides?

People can believe in creationism re the universe, and the scientific view after the initial creation, and believe in a God or not. There's theories and beliefs beyond the book of Genesis. I don't get why people think it's a binary choice of that idea, or the wholly scientific one.

Indeed. Or, conversely, may have evolved as developed for thousands or millions of years, thus have technologies and scientific advances that we can't even contemplate - we went from the Wright Brothers to Space in 58 years. We only know what we know, and have.

Shouting

That's your perspective. Seems close minded to me. Each to their own.
