  1. The monarchy is not a regime. It's expensive, but mostly harmless.

  2.  @mostlyinterested1016  You seem to struggle with the fact while Brits are welcome as tourists in a great many countries, settling in a foreign country is another matter altogether. You just lost your freedom of movement to 27 EU countries, remember?

  3.  @thedarkenigma3834  You also have mass shootings in the US, like every other day. Have you ever wondered why there's no clear correlation between gun ownership and standings in respected indexes that measure human freedom, freedom of the press, democracy and some such? I mean, shouldn't the USA top each and every one of those since it's brimming with guns? Yet it isn't so.

  5. The question concerned Western civilization. Gandhi's verbatim answer was: "I think it would be a good idea.”

  6.  @workphone4210  What an interesting keyboard you have there. Mine's all-caps, meaning no separate keys for uppercase and lowercase letters.

  7.  @PeterNorman-xd8tr  You know, right, that you could get the tourists without the monarchy? France gave their royals the chop, and they're still raking it in.

  8.  @cliffrightmove1527  You know, right, that Farage always was a shoo-in for the European Parliament, but the House of Commons keeps eluding him?

  10. I don't know, I would put Putin in the Republican camp. Trump certainly would welcome him with open arms. He thinks the world of Putin.

  11. That's a doozy of a generalisation, Arne. Care to tell us about an authoritative source that compares civil rights throughout Europe and that supports your claim?

  12.  @arnesaknussemm2427  Perchance I'm not. I'm expecting you to tell us about an authoritative source that supports your claim, i.e. a proper comparison that ranks the UK above all EU countries in civil liberties. Here's another Americanism for you: put up or shut up.

  13.  @GarryCarr56  Funny, France manages to bring in more tourism money without self-righteous and scandal-prone royals.

  14. Their size may belie the support. I mean, people probably wanted to enjoy the very last coronation ever. You know, like enjoying one last cigarette before giving up on an expensive habit that doesn't belong in this time and age.

  15. How kind of the police to protect the protestors from police brutality... wait!

  16. Us hundreds of millions of viewers sure appreciated the comedy of it all. BTW, isn't Charles a British rather than an English king? Or are you already resigned to the UK falling apart?

  17. Republicanism and environmentalism must be very powerful and very frightening forces in the UK.
