Ci-devant cockroaches who should all be funnelled into meat grinders. They have no purpose, no fibre; they are contorted marionettes in a sick revue.

Both the Guardian and BBC are currently reporting - as "breaking news" - that Harry has had his privacy violated by press speculation about whether he's in a relationship. Leaving aside the very impossibility for that to be breaking news in the truest sense of either word, perhaps the Hewitt cunt should renounce his royalship if he values his privacy more than his misappropriated wealth and his absolute nonsense excuses for careers.

The Guardian are reporting it more that he's complaining about the racist and mysoginsitic coverage rather than his privacy being invaded.

Hmmmm, this new potential Princess Banter- American, mixed-race, divorcee... she's already among my picks for Death List MMXVII. I bet Prince Philip is busy haggling for another white Fiat Uno as I type.

I understand some nude photos of her have also been leaked but so fucking what- Banter Harry has already been there and done that.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Wanting to view the nudes of a woman who conjoins her fluids with Inbred Helicopter Murderer is like coveting an eczema skin graft.

Outrageous, entitled and absurd. I hope an underwhelming maze scuppers their next charity drive.

If Banter Harry had any sense he would abdicate, then he'd be free to grow old disgracefully with his American wife. They'd be like Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, only Harry would be the one wearing the Nazi armband.

I hope they have been eaten by some sort of blind dune-dwelling worm golem. Along with the living bodies of all the 'family'.

Why would anyone want to be photographed nude?

Apart from an errant chimp of course, or mole rat

The Daily Mail is clearly fucked off about Harry's letter, but doesn't want to actually own up to that becau slagging off a royal is bad treason.

Apart from Sarah Vine, who's done a stampy-feet tantrum article.

Ah, but sir, let me counter with the fact that Prince Bantz of Ledge does not want you to imbibe the nudie images. Doing so is an affront to him and troubles the not-so-young burden on humanity deeply. Bearing such in mind, do you still not want to look at the naked nobody's lady bits?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

No, because there are so so many better ways of irritating him, such as disposing of the gored corpses of his family members in a disused grain silo.

Someone please batter the living pair of bollocks off of each of these grasping Cunts, especially the little vagina having one.

QuoteThe Government has announced funding for the Royal Family will almost double for the next ten years to fund renovation of Buckingham Palace

QuoteThe Government says a ten-year refit at Buckingham Palace will cost £369m in order to "future-proof" the residence

Incidentally, just ten days ago the benefit cap was brought down to £20k a year including rent, reducing the income of 40,000 single parent families by as much as £7k a year.

It is estimated that the benefits of the upgrade, including longer summer opening hours, more private tours and savings due to the improvements, could be worth around £3.4m each year. So when you really think about it, it'll pay for itself in no time.

Norton Canes

Before Liz carks it, probably.

George Oscar Bluth II

Spend the £369m to knock down Buckingham Palace and build a multistorey carpark on the site imo.

'Future-proofing' the palace.

Is it possible - or just conspiratorial of me to imagine - that there might be a bit of 'future-proofing' in recent popular media regarding the royal family? ITV's Victoria and Netflix's The Crown, for example. I wonder if the image of royalty is being warmed up to prepare for the Queen's demise. Keeping the idea of royalty popular for when they have to pass the throne on to the next guy.

Might just be telly though.

That's been underway since Diana was murdered and they realised how unpopular they actually were. They've spent millions on PR and it's done wonders for them.

The problem for them of course is that "Prince" William is slowly starting to look like his dad, and it's getting harder and harder to cover up how boring him and his wife are. Expect another backlash soon enough. It's only Banter Harry keeping them going at this point.

I think Banter is looking even more like Charles now, but perhaps that's just a plastic surgery measure to stem gossip about James Hewitt.

This trifling matter of £369m might tip the tide of public opinion, especially as it's so poetically close to that mythical weekly £350m.

I must express my disagreement with the thread title, while I'm here. I just hope they get democratically dethroned, and the very idea of 'a royal family' looked back upon as a bit of embarrassment.

I find it bizarre that benefit claimants are so vilified when these fuckers are leeching hundreds of millions off the state. It goes to show what a relentless spew of media propaganda can do.

A few times recently, I've found myself feeling more positive that public opinion is changing against the monarchy but every time I start to feel optimistic, I recall the effect PR has had in the past and wonder what it would take for them to permanently lose the public's sympathies. I've been a republican for a long time now and even to me, it seems more absurd the more I look at it. Living in a republic has made the monarchy seem even more ridiculous, which I didn't think was possible. Looking at the amount of money the country spends on the monarchy while diverting it from other sources, it is absolutely unjustifiable. True, any head of state costs money but compare this to, say, the President of Ireland (who I think actually asked to take a pay cut, who was democratically elected, and who is a charming and endearing old man who looks like a little gnome who has a dignity and decency the royal family could only dream of) and the royals are hardly value for money.

I've always wondered if public opinion would harden after the Queen's death but again, I suspect another PR campaign could get them out of a jam. That said, I know Prince Charles and Prince William are unpopular and I hope that when people see a head of state they dislike being forced upon them, they will realise that the monarchy is an expensive, outdated, undemocratic sham.

Buck Palace is a heap of shit. There was some doc about it recently and most of the rooms apart from the ones you normally see, are like 1960s pantries or NHS vomitoriums.

Rather have money spent on this than wasted on other rubbish. Least it will look nice. Better than spending it on bombs, tax breaks for the rich or benefits for those who cannot be asked to get out of bed.

It's the absurdity of it that gets me, as well as the mediocrity of the current royal family.

Whoever you are, whatever you achieve you can never be the head of state of this country, unless you were born into it. That's lunacy isn't it?

And for all the YOU WANT PRESIDENT BLAIR DO YOU? stuff from pro-Royalists...at least if it was President Blair someone would have fucking voted for him. I'm quite open to President Blair if that's what the people want.

Is that one of those "another think/thing coming" phrases? Are there swathes of people who go about their daily lives in the belief that the term is "can't be asked"?
