More like some people take responsibility on their shoulders

until you find someone who looks exactly like you, has the same abilities and education and life experiences and opportunities as you, you're not going to find an equal on this earth

Ok

the royals have a higher social position. thats just how it is. they are also far wealthier than most people with a more interesting life story. thats also just how it is.

I don't have the same viewpoint, but w/e

but prince charles looks like a potato and at least most average people dont, so theres that.

If the Queen outlives Charles I'll consider that a victory

you cant just pick one heirarchy to cry about, is my point. OMG THE ROYALS THE ROYALS. the royals have probably the lowest possible effect on your life. you have far more to worry about with people you actually deal with who have advantages over you (or not)

I'm not going to mash a keyboard for the next x amount of minutes on something that we aren't going to change each other's minds on

the person at work who sucks up to the boss and pushes you under a train, may be at a similar social/economic level to you but they have a far more devastating impact on your life story

oh, and people arent even born equal, so theres that too. take it up with mother nature on your way out

Also, if the royal family abdicated, they would get back all their properties... Which the gov is currently renting out for about 400m a year

ur wasting your keystrokes

They would massively cash in if they weren't royal

We would save about 70m paying them in taxes, and the gov would lose about 400m ... So we'd lose out net roughly 330m a year

you're right it's a pointless discussion unless you live in the 1800s and are ruled by a monarchy

i just wish people would stop going on about it like it matters even a tiny bit in the scheme of things. being born short will hurt you more than the queen having yearly speeches

Fuck me, you don't half drone on

You an autist?

It's Athens...

remember that you're the one who rolled out that lazy shite and prompted me. and no, since we're all locked down i have nothing better to do whatsoever.

Ok

So... Boris is in intensive care?

sounds like it

How old is he?

they've moved him there, someone on the BBC reported they were giving him oxygen

50s?

A relatively critical decade of life tbh.

and trump has come out with some mysterious comment about sending things to the NHS but it's trump so who the fuck knows, he makes everything up as he goes along

Is the Twittersphere celebrating yet?

yeah, expect increases in: december births, divorces, domestic abuse

@Dostayer Yes

probably depression and related illnesses too

@Hopix bunch of dispicable little hypocrites.

Hope he pulls through

hope so

They are blaming everyone with cruelty while being cruel themselves.

I hope for you too.

"And I’ve asked two of the leading companies – these are brilliant companies. Ebola, Aids, they’ve come with the solutions and just have done incredible jobs – and I’ve asked them to contact London immediately. They’ve really advanced therapeutics ... and they have arrived in London already, the London office has whatever they need.

We’ll see if we can be of help. We’ve contacted all of Boris’s doctors, and we’ll see what is going to take place, but they are ready to go."

Ebola and Aids are the best companies.
