Is there anything you like about the UK?
When was the last time you said anything good about the UK?What’s not being pro-monarchy got to do with not liking the UK? There’s no connection between the two whatsoever.
The fact I’ve spent so much time of this thread suggests that I do actually like the UK, you’ve just resorted to a lazy and vacuous notion that someone has to be anti UK if they don’t believe in the monarchy.
So a pro EU think tank says our GDP would be 2.3% higher if we hadn't voted leave and it is the gospel?And then some had the cheek to blame working, tax paying migrants for their problems.

It’s also my experience that leavers tend to more anti monarchy than anyone. They just want their traditions back like drinking lager and tea, celebrating a foreign religion, eating curry ect but abolish the traditional monarchy.
Me reduced to? Not been reduced to anything. But yourself? All you ever do is have a go at the UK and most of the people who voted.Really? This is what you’re reduced to? It was actually yesterday in a conversation around the lunchtable with my partner’s grandmother if you must know

Really, you must be around a very narrow group of people Tony. It’s that type of stereotype that pisses a majority of Leavers off.
He is a hysterical clown, and I hope that after Brexit we'll hear no more from him.Great post Captain, says it all. There are plenty who won't hear a bad word said about the likes of Verhofstadt though.
Everything you have posted suggests that you want what is best for yourself and anyone with a different outlook is wrong and thick.Yet again another empty and vacuous post that’s based on nothing at all.
Considering that I’ve spent a lot of time on this thread it suggests that I want the very best for the UK and do care for its future.
I don’t think I’ve ever ‘had a go’ at the UK itself, that’s just something you’ve made up, again.

Not the best way of going about a debate.
And BTW the royal family is a big part of what the UK is based on. You want rid.
Name one thing good about the UK.
So what?
Well you portray a negative view on it but many countries you would would deem as socially progressive have such an institution and it’s because of the constitution they have that they can operate as they are
It’s my own personal opinion of it, I accept its very much a minority opinion but even without a monarchy these countries would remain socially progressive.
How would two elected chambers with elections at different time periods and a presidential figure likely from a party different to the elected government assist democracy?
It’s a sixth form argument I’m afraid like your private school rant based on prejudice. I don’t even like the royal family and I think the Duchy of Cornwall should go into public ownership but by default it’s a constitution that gives the one elected Parliament real ownership
You’ve gone from it assisting in countries being socially progressive to increased democracy. I was originally defending myself as somehow not being pro monarchy was being anti UK, which is a pathetic argument.
My feelings about private schools have nothing to do with prejudice, just wanting to see a fairer system for all and more investment into the education sector.
Some remainers are just arrogant , extremely bitter and obsessive.I loved the UK when it was Cool Britannia, hosted the Olympics gave us so many great bands, but the recent surge of angry leavers and their stupidity- I am not ashamed to call a portion of leavers stupid... they literally are - has dented my patriotism somewhat.
Of course it’s prejudice - you want to deny wealthy people a legitimate right to follow a different path
I thought those who voted leave were all well off middle aged fat bastards.I’d rather more money was invested in education all round, making the need to go elsewhere redundant. The point is is that those with wealth are usually the ones in power, hence the lack of investment in the needs of the majority.
This disregard for those less well off by the wealthy is a key reason as to why many voted leave. In the long term these issues need to be addressed but your attitude seems to be very much I’m alright jack.

Strangely you see there were many politicians and business people who achieved a great deal from working class roots - until the Labour Party concluded an education for all policy was the way to go - other than for labour politicians of course
You live in Italy now? Do they have freedom of private education?
I believe the figure is something around 6 or 7% of those who do attend private education. Society is different here though in terms of wealth, it doesn’t have the same level of inequality, it’s a more level playing field so to speak and not people living on credit
What does living in credit have uk do with education? That’s a really random justification.
Also Italy has a bigger disparity between the rich and the poor so you are taking nonsense
I went off on a tangent. There’s a disparity between the north and the south, much like in the Uk, it’s also got higher levels of migrants coming into the country. Within society as a whole, there’s less inequality.
Home ownership is near to 80%, I wonder what it is in the UK? Obviously Italy is far from perfect and there is growing inequality but it’s happening across europe
There isn’t any statistic that backs that up.
Which countries have the worst income inequality in Europe?
Home ownership stats also are spurious to correlate to wealth - the poorest counties actually have higher percentages
I’ve said for a while now about the EEA which is a compromise. I don’t think I’ve ever claimed anyone who disagrees with me is thick. However, others have abused those with different viewpoints and you’ve said nothing about that, I wonder why?
You are right. Because I can't think of anyone who has said they are pro monarchy. But not being pro monarchy doesn't mean you want to get rid of it. They bring a lot of tourists to London. They spend a lot of money here. They don't interfere with how the country is run. So why should I say it needs to go?You’ve gone from it assisting in countries being socially progressive to increased democracy.

What right does anyone have to decide how others spend their money If it is legal?My feelings about private schools have nothing to do with prejudice, just wanting to see a fairer system for all and more investment into the education sector.
