Ah well, just to do your outpourings a bit more justice:-'Inverted' snobbery??? - naught 'inverted' about mine lad!! - au contraire.'Soiled shagged out politician'? - well maybe a lesser evil - and at least possible to get rid of - than a soiled shagged out monarch - of which we've many centuries of being saddled with. Name me an English/ British male monarch (and almost all have been male) that wasn't 'soiled and shagged out' from the start - including the last one, Geordie 6 who had toured and sampled the brothels of Europe with his estimable big bruv in their misspent yoof - perhaps that famous stammer and his terminal poor health were the result of syphilis? And what of our forthcoming Charlie 3 eh??'Unwashed' republicans?? - well I look forward to the publication of your obvious in-depth knowledge (how did you acquire it??) of the sanitary habits and condition of the entire populace? - but how 'washed' do you imagine to be all those fanatical royalists hanging around on the streets for days and nights every time there's a royalist silly-business like the recent one?Gold leaf? - well we've more than enough gold, or at least gilding, on the equestrian statue of Billy 3 (in anachronistic ancient Roman togs!!) in the (otherwise sadly despoiled) Market Place in Kingston-upon-Hull (named as such by Eddie 1 who founded the place - NB he should be termed Eddie 3 or 4 if we ditched this colonial Francocentric nonsense and included the pre-Norman King Eddies).If we must continue to be saddled with a monarch they should re-base themselves in the country's heartland (eg the recently rejuvenated Parkhill flats in Sheffield?) and indeed hand Buck House over to the the West London Housing Association to be converted into something useful - you've some funny notions of what respectable Housing Assocations do if you think it's 'crumbling' dosshouses and/or garden sheds.Couldn't give a toss about tourists - far too many of them (in the likes of York, Bath and Edinburgh as well as London) and far too many of them the unintelligent type that go around in herds and hang around outside likes Buck House and the Palace of Westminster getting in everybody else's way.

"Poor jealous lamb". Insult ? Huh!Poor - well, that's indicative of poverty of thinking the issue through. That's an assessment, not an insult.Jealous - well that's a reference to underlying inverted snobbery, which is no better or worse than overt snobbery. We are English and we just can't help ourselves. Mind you, Yorkshiremen............That's also an assessment and not an insult.I mean, well I know the truth sometimes hurts but cotton wool fiction can be so misleading, don't ya think?Lamb - well that's possibly a reference to being infantile. You know, the sort of word which one our well known posters has slipped out of his pocket. Possibly lamb is an insult for which sincerest of apologies. But it was so mild, and full of the gentile nivea washed amiability that we meet on this extraordinary website. Of course it was said in jest. How could it possibly have been in bad taste? Insult? Not really Chris. You poor sensitive flower;-)Fascist? Ooh err. A recently departed poster really did jump at that one., But that's another tale. Being a good hearted Englishman it doesn't touch my sides, but quite an inflammatory word for a Friday afternoon don't ya think?Any way I am now wondering if you might be an ardent French republican fifth columnist. There's something of the je ne sais quoi about that surname of yours. Gallic was it? And your postings are getting rather ardent.BTW, If you are advocating a soiled shagged out politician to be a republican president, well no thanks to that at all. We seem to have a share of those round here. Our Monarchy adds to our GDP. Tourists are not exactly going to be seduced into viewing Buckingham Palace after it is reduced to a crumbling doss house owned by a shabby little housing garden shed of a housing association from.... well leave that to your imagination. You can just see some of those unwashed republicans nicking the gold leaf off the monument in front of the Palace, saying, 'aha, it's all mine now'. Rock on Prince Georgy.21/19
