Good to see the government are doing the important things.
I'm sure you would know just how important this is to a lot of people.

It's a vote winner, beats me why but it is.

Rule Britannia. Unfortunately a lot of the old white folk prefer to think they're still a marvelous empire even though most were born when the UK was not even close to that.

There's been a lot of coverage on the Queen over here, pretty much every day.

Fack me, get off my TV you old bag. I don't give a s**t about you and your dogs or your horses. Piss off.
It's her jubilee. I say that as I'm sitting here and the missus is watching a documentary of "lost" footage on her.

Just quoted your post to Mrs moomba. She actually cheered (she has had a gin though).

She'll be gone soon enough. Then you'll realise you miss her as Charles big mug is plastered everywhere.
 
Yeah would expect that to occur not long after Charles takes over.

Would be a decent sized blow to the Commonwealth but it's well and truly overdue.

Perhaps, though everyone seems pretty fond of Will and Kate.

May not matter, we may have changed over by the time they get there.

Polling suggests the support behind a change has never been stronger.

Yeah I think it'll probably be during Charles' reign.

Because we are an independent nation now and need to grow with our own identity. The commonwealth becomes less relevant every year and generation that passes by.

We werent that far off it happening in the 99 referendum.

Maybe we should do our own poll on this board!

Sorry, my question was why it won't happen in our lifetime.

Spain only turned on their monarchy when the king got busted for Saudi kickbacks and tax fraud. It would take something of a similar level here, or an Andrew-style fall from grace for Charles or his heir, to get the mob who wave Union Jacks at every royal visit here onside. There's still too many of them.
