There is a valid point in there. What if someone today just said I am your ruler now and you they request to sit on a gold thrown and wear a gold hat? You'd be like fack off mate.

Or someone comes along and says they are the son of christ and you should listen to them. Again, fack off mate.

Just because things have been a certain way for ages when people were less educated and informed, does not mean it should be that way forever.

A good mental exercise is to think about starting a civilisation from scratch today. Would you have an imaginary guy in the sky? Someone sitting on a gold throne? It is unlikely. At some point you need to move on for the better.

Or for the worst. Both institutions give people comfort. And the imaginary figure, who knows, not you.

Son of God by the way.

Yeah but this guy says he's son of christ. Next gen.

I think what is incredible is up until 2 days before her death, she was performing her duty to her country. After 70 years of performing virtually perfectually her duty toward her country, she continued to do it till her death. Hate her or loathe her but she deserves absolute respect for her 70 year commitment toward what she felt was the right thing to do. RIP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely sir

Now do a 5-why on that situation you describe. Hint - it all comes down to your luck, or lack of luck, dropping out the right or wrong womb and that is not a god answer as to why someone should dedicate their whole life to public service or the enormous privilege and ridiculous sycophancy that accompanies it.

She's the mother of the country. Big loss.
One of those people that you thought would just always be there.

It will be interesting to see how traditionalists adapt to Charles being King, seeing as there is no tradition attached to it. There is no "this is how it has always been". It is new. And different. Scary. He might have views on the environment. He might have opinions. Very strange. It will probably just further stem the culture wars. Woke Charles trying to push the liberal elite's agenda. Then the vegans get behind him. Then what? There are like 4 people left in churches now and the queen is dead. It is the end of old people stuff. A massive segment of society, Boomers, have mostly retired from positions of power to nobodies. They have limited influence on the world now apart from sitting seething on the internet every day at young folk telling them what to do. It is only going in one direction as well. A landmark moment.

Far too simplistic

The monarchy goes back 1,000 years and is linked to many events in English and British history; the Norman Conquest, Wars of the Roses, English Civil War

It’s what makes the country do interesting historically and helps attract millions of tourists each year. Besides, you only need watch on the news when they interview people about the Queen, she’s adored and that helps bring in the tourists

Actually really interesting. Although it did leave me thinking that it was just how it was back then and who are we to question it. Hitler actually created a lot of history for Germany and brings in millions of tourists a year. Something to be celebrated. His victims will probably complain (if they were alive) but the traditions of Germany are more important to me. I mean Britain.

It's always sad whenever some1 dies, but it's a natural process of life, and being from a previous common wealth country and whose ancestors had to forgth for freedom then yh, some of us will see it as just life process and not dwell too much on it, sorry for my openness

This. It was like when Jimmy Saville died and lots of people made disrespectful jokes, completely forgetting how much money he raised for charity.
