Oh Sharon, Sorry but they DO still have SO much power - and obscene wealth, but it's all hidden. They also sit right at the top of the stinking British Class System that still rules and runs everything by patronage. They are not even British - even their real family name is German!

And for the privilege they cost us almost £1,000,000 a day!

Really? I am surprised by this as I had British friends (met them on a bus trip to NEW England in 1993) and they were very successful in their business and had some wealth (I would say they were upper middle class according to US standards).

Sorry to learn that these "poser British monarchs" are still wielding power over "the people"! Did all this "Germanic" influence start with Prince Albert - the consort to Queen Victoria? Set me straight if I'm wrong, Cornwall!

Yes this last lot started with Prince Albert but The Georges I - IV were also pure German - George I couldn't even speak English. (They got the British monarchy over other claimants because they weren't Catholics.)

So...from what you're saying the Reformation played a huge part in the "German invasion" of the British monarchy! Interesting....my "world history" is a bit rusty, Cornwall! Thanks for the "elucidation"--LOL!

Want more “elucidation”? Go to the Corbett Report (James Corbett) and watch the 25 minute documentary on the actual facts of this “royal” family that Corbett posted yesterday. Unbelievable. You will be elucidated right out of your skin seeing the horrors these people have caused humanity.

I listened to 20 minutes of Corbett's presentation - I appreciate his forthright delivery and he's easy to listen to. I'm falling asleep on it - so it's time for beddie-bye for this chickie--LOL! G-nite Mel and everyone on C & C army!

Hi Mel, I watched it! Only had to close my eyes for half of it (I can't even hear to look at him). Excellent!

I have made it my business to educate myself by reading books, watching films and finding out the truth about the UK monarchy. Why do others not do this? How can they be so ignorant and gullible? If they knew what I know...

But I suppose it's like the covid scamdemic; they're too trusting and brainwashed to think for themselves. Thanks again.

They aren't "trusting"--they are brainless idiots!! Sometimes I call them "jerkoffs"--I guess the Brits would say "wankers"??

Thanks Mel, I probably won't enjoy it: it's been a tough day for us 20% of republicans (and most of the rest aren't that bothered...)

I get it… I’m an American and I thought we’d given up royalty a long time ago. Trouble is, we have our own “royalty” here. People are the same everywhere. They like to have someone whom they feel are their “betters” to worship. I don’t buy that crap and never have. I’m tired of these obscenely rich *****ety-blanks who feel they are more deserving than the rest of us. Hint to them- they aren’t.

I'm of the same mindset as you, Mel--never was a "maniac fan" of any "celebrity" or "A List" person. Sometimes I check out their bios--but that's about as much time and effort (and $$'s) that I spend on them. Despots that they are!!

I was 14 when JFK was elected. For a moment in time, they were treated like a royal family. Ugh!

Better to laugh than cry. This long version of Tom Petty’s song is one of the best.

Sharon you are most welcome. The whole of European royalty are related and inbred. Our history is littered with monsters.

As for our Church of England - it was founded by a six times married misogynistic two wives murdering tyrant who is celebrated as a historic national great - Henry VIII.

Poor Charles has only managed two wives, and one of them was his married mistress before and during his first marriage. Pathetic!

Yes, Cornwall...I knew well the convoluted shenanigans of your "8th Henry"...and his "virgin" daughter wasn't!! But she WAS a very capable and almost fearless monarch!!

You might have been better off had they not dumped the Catholic James II.
