thebes Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Why does American news spend so much time talking about the British so-called Royalty. They never seem to point out that they are one of the longest running scams in history. Despite being billionaires they regularly fleece The Brit taxpayers for billions more. Yes it's a tough life. They have to flit from castle to castle, let people take pictures of them, attend all the good parties and even the toddlers get driven around in a Rolls. Another silly hat wedding this weekend and more blather from what passes nowadays as a western press corps. Me, except for the religious stuff, I'm a Cromwellian. Regicide. Now that's the ticket. Any chance The Donald could divert a spare B2 over the Channel and finish off the undone business of the American Revolution.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACV92 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hate to say it, but it's because of this thread. Not specifically the reason, but people talk about it, hate it, but talk about it. The Royal Family has nothing on the Kardashians. Worthless people in my mind. Who cares, but one of them sneezes and it's a headline. So, is it that media drives what people want, or is it people drive what the media show's us? Either way, you're both right. You want to change the channel, but it's on every channel...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 --- and as I said yesterday in the CCC thread it falls on Saturday, the biggest Pilgramage Day. Have the Royals no shame(well, no). I am hoping for "a release of the chickens" to celebrate the earth stopping event, Arky style. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've got our own royal scammers to think about. Good idea. If nothing else the B2 threat may bring another $500 million to fund our scammers interests.

thebes Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 On second thought maybe I should be more careful. When the Royals got back into power they dug up Cromwell's body, (he'd died before they came back into power) had it hung in chains, and then decapitated! Guess they hold a grudge like no other.

RT FAN Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 On the bright side the wedding of Prince Harry will generate approximately $1 billion in economic activity for the British economy. On the other side of the tuppence, this Markle lady is one step above boozy white trash. Her family is bad news and I am sure Lizzy is none too pleased that she is marrying into the royal family, or The Firm as it is known. I will make the over/under 6 years on a divorce. Harry will move onto some fair English rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a radio program (2 guys named chris) they discussed what there wives were doing getting up at 4am having friends over who are not allowed to speak except during commercial, serving tea, crimpets, strawberries and cream. Me I am laughing at the idiocy of it all, asking who gives a Frick. At least my wife thinks it is all a big waste, she is pissed that they will clutter up the tv.

kvndoom Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 A lot of women love gala, and many live vicariously through rich beautiful women. You see it so often in retail. Stand in line at a grocery store or Walgreen's and you have to look at Jennifer Anniston or Princess Whomever or the bachelorette on the cover of 20 different magazines. Expensive handbags and perfumes named after actresses or singers. Marilyn Monroe has been dead over 50 years and she still graces calendars and magazine covers. Elizabeth Taylor's brand rakes in millions per year. I'm sure the late Princess Diana was mentioned a billion times during the latest wedding coverage. Then you have soap operas, which were honestly the precursor to reality shows. The lives and loves of beautiful rich people. I don't understand the addiction fascination, but I have seen its effects for a really long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Other than being a prince and all that, Harry is a pretty normal down to earth kind of guy. I'll wait and see how thos all plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
