There is 'playing a victim' and actually being diagnosed with something and seeking professional help. Do you see the difference?

So it wasn't you elsewhere complaining about echo chambers, and pile ons and stuff then? Come off it.
What I'd say that if you want to debate stuff properly, post properly. If you want to get called out as a troll, keep up with the trite low level rubbish that you won't even try to defend (as above re teachers).
You can't whine about 'rinse and repeat' when you regularly trot out stuff that you obviously know is bollocks, just to get a rise. Own it.

So it’s ok for people to have dogs abuse as long as they haven’t seen a doctor and to say what you want without any receiving anything back if you have?
So if it was say revealed the royal family were receiving mental health advice yiu never say a negative thing again?

Your whole posting on here is to insult anyone with an alternate view.
It’s clear you are a bitter and angry man
Debate properly and post properly.

While I agree about having an elected HoS with a lot of power poses massive risks in itself, as BSB mentions you could make the role ceremonial and you could get a lot more tourism from having the buildings open to tourists. Imagine how many would want to come to actually see inside Buckingham Palace etc. Versailles does alright for tourists.I think a slimmed down monarchy is the way forward. The country won’t put up with freeloaders like Andrew any more
It’s easy to bring the argument back to hereditary unfairness but that exists without the monarchy, here and around the world and will never change. Anti-royalists/republicans will always highlight the cost of the monarchy, however, nobody really knows what true benefit the monarchy brings/has brought us, whether through extra tourism, bringing the country together at certain times (24m people watched the Queens pandemic speech FFS) or things like soft power with world leaders who are usually falling over themselves to meet the Queen.
Im not convinced the monarchy lasts long term, certainly not in some commonwealth countries but whilst its here, it’s part of what makes our country and I think on balance probably for the better*…..however, even so, there was no way I was watching that ‘party’ last night !!!
*people like Johnson or Corbyn as an elected head of state…fuck that !
But the biggest thing for me is that amount of land owned by the Crown. The Duchy of Cornwall is massive and generates loads of money for Charles because he was just given it as a birthright. Meanwhile ordinary people working hard can't afford a tiny scrap of land with a small house on it to raise a family. If they want to retain the ceremonial titles, fine. But hand over the fucking land!

Yes it does seem odd that posting about Harry Styles is a banning offence but Islamophobia and ablelist language isn't.

My objection isn't to the people but the institution, except where Andrew is concerned. Look at the thread really, who starts going personal? You. You wouldn't tell someone with a broken leg to run in the same way someone depressed doesn't just 'cheer up'.

Arrived on a boat, illegally.
Vagrancy at a railway station.
Worked in the black economy.
Convicted of theft.
Escaped custody.
Now lives in a big house in London without any visible means of support.
Not white.
Outrage! He'd normally be on the front page of the Daily Mail every day for a week, with a special pull out section on Sunday.
Seeing these two posts following each other I though "Wow! Didn't expect duffer's life to have panned out like that!"

If you looked I did actually call out Parks on coming across as a bit nasty all things considered. There's a reason why certain people just don't post on here anymore-you're not exactly missing out on much getting banned

Some people don’t because of abuse received on certain political threads…

I don't think most on here are politically aligned. There are some posters I agree with on most things but not that many. Most feel this Government is incompetent and disagree with most of your opinions, but that doesn't mean that they share the same views on everything.

If you had this forum as a barometer
Labour is by far the most popular party
Brexit was a minority of thick as fuck racists
Prince Charles could have known about Saville abuse and let him carry on
The country is anti monarchy
Yes it’s an amazing cross section of views

Which actually I don't engage in. But I mean look at the insults you've dished out over someone just being opposed to the monarchy. If really the overriding response to someone with diagnosed issues is to go 'stop fucking whining'/'stop moaning' then I'll stop posting too. Life's too short

To be fair though you do constantly jibe DoD with being a terrorist. And have a go at Tony quite a bit. And basically call everyone else 'clueless' or their thoughts 'laughable'
You're returning fire.

Very few people on here seem to support Labour.
You forget only about a third of the population voted for Brexit and it’s not been going well.
I suspect people on here are not representative of the population anyway. They are probably younger than average and my guess relatively well educated. Both would explain an anti Brexit/monarchy bias.

One day I’ll post everything O Day has said going back over 6 years.
He’d be banned from every other forum for the IRA support alone
Tony never posts on football - this is a breach of entry and he should go. I’ve not replied to hardly any of his drivel for ages

just priceless! Many of the chief antagonists are 50 plus and not degree educated!
You’ve literally just proved my point.
Only 25% of people over 25 want a republic - hilarious
You seem to have deleted your post where you admitted to being Islamophobic. Smart move.
However there is still plenty of evidence of your ablelist language.

Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe, just maybe, it's because G is wrong.
If so many people agreed with G, surely they'd all come and back him up, and in the process shut the rest of us up? Or perhaps it's because pretty much every argument he puts forward ends up getting torn to pieces logically and he looks stupid, only his ego won't let him see it.
He always ends up falling back on what the situation is, rather than what people wish it to be, without ever acknowledging that that situation exists because of a huge power imbalance so a tiny number of people get an inordinate amount of say compared to the wishes of most of the people. Do you think most of the country with an equal say would decide to not feed kids but also choose to give massive pay rises to people on 80k + expenses a year? I think not.
And before you say "they're chosen by the electorate", firstly the constituency boundaries etc. mean that the people elected are not a true reflection on the overall votes cast, and secondly those with wealth bypass the system by going direct to get what they want. They also spend/donate a huge amount of money to ensure people are convinced to vote for something/someone without revealing the truth behind it - Brexit being a prime example.
I welcome people putting forward their viewpoints and arguing them, whether they align with mine or not, and pointing out flaws in my own ideas and thinking. The more information is available the more informed my decisions can be. But I also reserve the right to point out the flaws in theirs. I suspect the mythical 'silent majority' is just that - a myth.

I have met people on here who post on Here
I certainly know some who haven’t a degree and I’ll let them know from now on you think they are stupid

Curiously we have never met. I suspect if we did you'd be surprised
