I think it’s another thing to put down to the fucked up state of the world, driving us all to drink and/or musicals.

That’s very true : it is worse than many forums because it sets itself up as a ‘social’ utopia but in effect is really a platform for predatory advertising.

I just rejoined it recently after a 10 year personal embargo (mainly because some creep from my school had set up a horrific page pontificating on my daughter’s due date when she was in foetal stage, and I found that very disturbing). I thought it’d be a good idea because I am notoriously bad at keeping in touch with…

It’s crazy isn’t it? My parents and the wider family are constantly having a go OR giving me weepy eyes because I don’t have a partner, despite the fact my brother is in a very poisonous relationship with a crazy wench.

Oh yeah, that is definitely true - the hangovers are so much worse in your 30s. I also find that, when drinking, I no longer get to ‘fun-tipsy’ stage, it’s just either stone-cold sober, or absolutely knocked-out tired.

30s are great. It’s so true - you no longer worry so much about what other people think . I sort of feel a bit old for certain things, which is a bit annoying - YouTube, Snapchat, etc - but that feeling is far outweighed by the absolute joy of realising everyone is fallible, and being happy that I didn’t grow up…

Oh come on. The Commonwealth is basically a re-branded colonialism defined by dependency of affiliation.

Regardless of what the supreme court decided, there are many coherent and compelling arguments which argue that revocability is in fact an option

But it wasn’t a democratic decision.

It’s an interesting question to consider. There are various answers given as to why she won’t backpedal (despite the fact that May supported Remain).

“we should be a complete laughing stock by this time next week”

Oh, come on.

Unfortunately I think that public support for a republic has been eclipsed by the brand of Kate n’ Wills, as for some reason ppl are very into oggling the outfits worn by the plastic princess and her stage-managed sprogs.

I think she’ll most likely beat her mother’s record and hold on for another 10-12 years. I say we should put her out to pasture - let her wear crazy hats and place bets on the horses in private, and let us have a fully accountable, democratic republic.

The Queen has£300m in personal wealth, while land owned by the monarchy is thought to be worth more than £7bn. In 2013, whilst public services were being slashed, and funding taken away from the poor, sick and disabled, the government forged a deal for Buckingham Palace that meant it would be protected from any cuts…

That’s pretty much an unsubstantiated claim.

Estimated total cost of monarchy annually £334 million.

The link between Crown Estate income and royal funding was created by the government to provide a mechanism for increasing royal income in a way that saves politicians having to be held accountable for public spending. If the monarchy was dissolved the Crown Estate would continue to do what it has always done for…

So, let’s say that for environmental reasons ppl should have no more than 2 children per couple.

People used to say I looked like the youngest Hanson too! At primary school I was pretty chuffed (I was well into football and convinced being a boy was probably better), but as soon as puberty hit it no longer seemed quite so flattering...
