  1. 🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺 Vice Versa. Whenever our Australian friends need help we’re here!

  2.  @1935rmb  The U.K. fought in WW2 so how in the hell did it abandon Australia?

  3.  @magnacarta9364  I’m going to have to say no to that. The monarchy is an integral part of our culture replacing it would yield no benefit.

  4. Her grandkids are good. Prince William will make a great king.

  5. A lot of the culture and traditions we’ve lost need to be brought back.

  6.  @pneron2032  She needs to be apolitical so as to represent all her subjects. It’s not cowardice.

  7. The monarchy is a key piece of British cultural heritage. If we removed the monarchy we’d be removing yet another piece of our culture and one that helps to prevent politicians getting too powerful.

  8. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

  9. She’s a ceremonial figurehead, blame the politicians!

  10. “A very traditional woman” Isn’t that a good thing?

  11. God save the queen!

  12. If she didn’t sign those laws then the government would have simply changed the law and bypassed the queen just as they did in Lichtenstein. Making her protests completely pointless.

  13. Prince Charles I’m concerned about but I think Prince William will make a good king. With Prince Charles I think he will remain apolitical like the queen but right now he’s being too political as Prince.

  14. She wasn’t a republican so why would the monarchy be gone by now if she was still in power?

  15.  @APBabyByU  “ Reducing the power of the state” Ok, you can replace the lords with an elected house but that wouldn’t make it necessary to remove the monarchy. She wanted to weaken the power of the state but not take it away entirely. The monarchy is more like a check on the power of the elected head of government so she would have supported the monarchy not only from that perspective but also because she was more of a traditional conservative than a radical socialist. So she supported key British institutions like the monarchy.

  16. You’re not wrong that Scotland played a large part in the empire but does David really hate the Scot’s?

  17. Not yet it’s not! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

  18.  @flake452  A “debate” and “hugely symbolic” whilst damaging the monarchy and allow the government to do what they want anyway.

  19. Everyone’s favourite war criminal

  20.  @angelwingstn3392  You believe Charles is a lizard? Seriously?

  21. Perhaps he chose the out of court settlement because public opinion was already against him by that point.

  22. It isn’t working properly but that doesn’t mean it should be fully abolished. It needs reform

  23.  @skadiwarrior2053  That’s what she does but she can do that without getting political and annoying some of her people.

  24.  @1935rmb  Australia was never occupied by the Japanese right? And it had its own army so if Australia has actually needed support it would have got it

  25. Technically Britain does as well. Fourteen remote territories.

  26.  @flake452  “Standing up for the British people” Not all British people though, she’d by throwing herself into the deep end of left VS Right culture politics. She represents all British people by staying out of it .

  27.  @angelwingstn3392  Lol, just checking, people really do believe that.

  28. Receiving reparations for things that happened over a century ago is nonsensical. It punishes the people of today for what their ancestors did and rewards people for the pain of their ancestors, pain they never went through.

  29. No thanks, we don’t want a military dictator. They restored the monarchy for a reason

  30. “His channel should be banned” Just because you disagree with the teachings of one of the world’s greatest historians?

  33. No, the monarchy is a key part of British culture. How is British still a colonial country?

  34.  @KeithWilliamMacHendry  I’ve heard about Scottish nationalists attacking English people whilst at Scottish universities. It’s not right both ways but with the SNP that sort of thing is only going to get worse and as Scottish Nationalists do that sort of thing the English are going to like the Scots less and less.

  35.  @KeithWilliamMacHendry  I spoke to a person and they said their friend had been attacked by Scottish nationalists whilst at university she didn’t appear to be lying but I’ll get evidence. Anti-English feeling 'at its strongest in nationalists' -The Scotsman BBC Scotland journalist faces 'utterly sickening' attack from Nasty Nats who brand him a 'traitor' -Scottish Daily express “This is always presented in a one sided way” Due to rising Scottish nationalism you see more attacks on English people than you do Scots. There are attacks on Scots by English people but that is as a result of rising Scottish nationalism and anger at Nicola Sturgeon types who blame England for everything. It is a small number in comparison to the Anglophobic attacks in Scotland.

  36. @UCOJvv-TjYLJF6wSMs7HZARg I think you’ve overreacted a little and made big assumptions about what I think. You dismissed the Scottish newspaper examples I gave as evidence as “British state propaganda” and claim that I hate Scottish nationalists. There’s no point in us continuing this if you’re going to make massive assumptions and kind of go on a rant. We all know that Anglophobia is alive in Scotland and no I don’t believe that it is all Scottish nationalists but it is a lot and far more than anti Scottish sentiments in England which is largely in reaction that the SNP. That’s pretty much all I’ve been saying.

  37. They are much better than Albanese. Him as president would be a nightmare. Keeping the monarchy is a part of Australian heritage, a positive part of Australian heritage given the work the monarch does for the commonwealth.

  38. Who were the psychopaths? The people abolitioning slavery worldwide?

  39.  @lydiamalone1859  The queen is 95 years old, it’s unlikely for someone at her age to be “woke” . I can’t think of a single thing that she has done that is woke. She can support climate change and claim to support BLM to keep on the good side of the mob but I doubt she’s a crazy communist like the average woke person is, she is a queen after all.

  40. Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom. It’s people are subjects of the British king.

  41.  @MrGordonhaining  “we are .. subjects of no king” “We will be a republic soon” Bit of a contradiction there.

  42. They are not useless. They are a key piece of British/ Australian heritage and do immense work for the country and commonwealth. You’re not an American are you? Americans tend to be the interfering type who complain about political systems that are alien from their own

  43.  @shelleyphilcox4743  Having influence isn’t the same as having an empire. Besides, most African countries are wanting to leave that currency union.

  44. “Commonwealth day” In Canada I think they still call it Victoria day

  45. 1. I like the institution of monarchy but I agree they are stupid. The queen is pretty good, she doesn’t get political but Charles does WAY too much. I think they have to appear woke a little to keep the elite at least partially on their side, obviously leftists want to desire your ancient British institutions including the monarchy so sucking up to the progressives gives them borrowed time at best. 2. How are they racist? Leftists are constantly calling them racist like that fool Meghan Markle did. They have been trying desperately to show that they are not racist, perhaps a little too much from the perspective of none woke people. 3. Because what Russia is doing is wrong? Ukraine may be ruled by an ex comedian but then what does that make the U.K. under Boris Johnson

  46. Andrew wasn’t given any new titles and I doubt he will given his unpopularity

  47. Epstein was invited there by Andrew not by the queen

  48. Have empire day but simply give it a different name

  49. Majority of its citizens aren’t Christians. And what do you even mean by “Protestant confederation”? The U.K. is a country whether it’s Protestant or Catholic doesn’t change that.

  50.  @tuckerbugeater  Obviously they did. Because the Cromwellian republic utterly failed.
