No they couldn't .

What a terribly modern idea.

This was the very same argument used by people against reforming the lords . 2015 and we still have people believing in a class system , where people are born to rule, where certain " qualities" are more likely in the ruling classes.
-
So the Lords need to be elected , but not the Head of State. Are there any other jobs that you're OK being passed down to your children? Lord mayor of London, Southampton Manager , head of BBC ? Is there another job in the civil service that forbids Muslims & Catholic's from doing it ? Whether she is neutral, corruptible or immune to lobbyists is totally irrelevant. She's got the gig regardless of her behaviour, so has Charlie boy and so has Good old Willie . Still, at least you know who you're doffing your cap to for a few more years.

So provided the monarch is popular and respected it's a good idea. What if Charles is a plum , how do we get rid of him ?

That because she's a good civil servant , her son should get her job when she pegs it?
-
It doesn't make a blind bit of difference. What are you saying , that because she's a good civil servant the monarchy is a good thing . What if she was like Charlie Manson , would that make it a bad thing ? Her ability to do the job is irrelevant , she only got it because of who her father was , I thought we were trying to get away from that sort of thing .

Thank god you aren't the one making the decisions , you don't even have the knackers to tell your mrs to cook her own food .

Spot on.

I thought it was reasonable what the ref did, although slightly unusual .Most refs would have bottled it and just booked the second challenge . I don't know if in the strictest sense of the laws the ref was right , I guess we'll have to wait for any appeal, but Baird was in the wrong and it was his fault not the refs. The commentary and experts were pretty biased , Lafferty clearly deserved a yellow and the dopey looking fullback pulled the winger back when there was no need. What made me laugh was Gerry Armstrong was praising the ref, until he gave decisions against NI. I thought the ref was pretty good myself.

Perhaps a comprise would be that they can throw Homosexuals off lower buildings or bungalows.

It would do , if it wasn't so popular. Its not some obscure publication, its the nations number 1 paper. The best thing about it is its trolling of lefties and their response. They have a pop at Murdoch because they haven't got the balls to tell the great unwashed that they're ignorant half bakes for buying it.

Is it right for the media to use images of refugee tragedy?

There's more diversity in this part of Dorset than in most Muslim countries Bungle. We even allow homosexuality. -

Would you put a limit on numbers coming in? -
Greavsie scored 5 less goals than Rooney , yet played in 49 less games. He was different class, **** me in the modern game with defenders unable to kick lumps out of you, playing with a light ball in modern boots , on carpet like pitches , he'd be unstoppable.

How many refugees have the rich states of Saudi Arabia , UAE, Qatar & Kuwait taken, I'd imagine they're doing their bit to help. -

Of course I would my life would have been in danger. Its interesting that an ally Turkey now seems a dangerous place for these people, according to some posters on here. What is their thoughts regarding people holidaying in regimes that are so dangerous and unwelcoming that people are losing their lives fleeing from this oppression . And why arent the rest of the EU putting Turkey under pressure regarding the human rights of these people. Instead of lecturing us the Germans should be on to the Turks. There could be another explanation though, it could be that these people are perfectly safe in turkey , but its a pretty dire existence and they could get a better life in the EU. Nothing wrong with wanting that, and perfectly understandable, but that makes them economic migrants. -

The UK should take a hell of a lot of responsibility , but you'll never stop people risking their lives if the end result is they end up in Germany , Sweden or the UK. They believe the risk is worth it , -

Doesn't the Geneva convention state that you have to claim asylum in the first safe country you come to ? Do you think these poor unfortunate parents should take a little bit of responsibility for what happened ? -

Would I risk my families lives fleeing Isis , of course I would. Would I put them in an overcrowded boat without life jackets in the dead of night to flee Turkey , I'm pretty damn sure I wouldnt . Would anybody else on here ? -
Do you love mangers and scouts as well? With such a great record, why won't someone take him on loan?
