Quoted from Marinerz93

As a self proclaimed educated man, how long did it take for Germany to get rid of the Nazi image Hitler forced on the country as head of state.


I'm no expert but I would imagine it was more to do with the fact that the Nazis went to war with most of Europe and committed some appalling atrocities that the German image was tarnished. If they still had a Kaiser but the Nazis had gained power and done exactly the same, their image would have been spared would it?


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I too am no expert, would it have got to that stage, if the monarch can dissolve Parliament, would depend on what rights the monarch has, otherwise it would be a military coup but it would be on record the Monarchy opposed.

No one has come back and said who can do a better job than the Queen or who they would want as head of state, answer that.

Who could do a better job than Liz Saxe-Coburg Gotha? How about one of those waving cats from a Chinese takeaway?

It would do the exact same job in blankly waving and smiling to whatever sad-act drips turn out to look at it, but would save tens of millions in security, wouldn’t need 7-course banquets and steak for its pets, wouldn’t have a history of Nazi sympathising, wouldn’t have any children who traffic underage girls to sexually abuse, could be stored in a drawer and wouldn’t need tens of thousands of acres of land and palaces to potter about in (these could be donated to people that need it), you don’t have to swap it for a new chinless inbreed every 50-60 years, and it would only cost the taxpayer a new set of batteries every 6 months. I’d pay for those myself.

“Cat” would also slot into the national anthem seamlessly.

Another bitter republican turnip eater, again no one seems to take on the fact the Queen as head of state is leagues ahead of the likes of Corbyn, Johnson, Macron, Merkel and I would rather have Schrödinger's cat than anyone off that list.

Again the jealousy flows, so bitter that someone else has a bigger house, a nicer car and a social life you can only dream of it seems. I've worked in plenty of new houses that have been given to a certain type of people and seen what they have done with the brand new houses they have been given. So it would be a no from me for them to be given any of the Palaces.

As for the Palaces and land some of it should be used to fund the Royalty, which I would only fund the Queen and the next inline for the throne.

Your example of the lucky fortune cat from the Chinese takeaway which was more than likely made in a sweat shop, isn't such a bad call as they originated to protect the home from vermin and snakes, just needs to be placed in parliament which is full of them on all sides.

None of the names you mention are the head of state of their country or even want to be head of state. It is a ceremonial role with little real power which is why it would be perfectly easy to have somebody cheaper than Liz do just as good a job. All they need to do is turn up when required and then behave themselves. There's a reason that serious politicians don't try and become heads of state in countries which don't have a monarchy.

The US has a different system where the President is both head of government and head of state - a bit like an emperor, really. Not really working out that well, at the moment.

There is no defence of illegal or insidious behaviour, I've said no one is above the law, if there are questions to answer then it is a matter for the Police, why don't you complain to them with your evidence or are you too busy munching on that turnip and generally being bitter.

Cheaper is great, who is capable of doing this, I see you have avoided putting someone up for this, it's a fair question and would it be voted on like X factor or the like.

You are deluded if you think anyone who hasn't been brought up that sort of social circle could carry off the Queens duties and command foreign dignities into following protocol just like when the most powerful man in the world was told he had not followed protocol, a mistake he didn't make again when meeting the queen, your guff is just laughable, and here we have head of State, Margret from Ull, hey up cocker, take shoes off, this rug cost an arm and a leg, where's ya slippers mate, fancy a brew like.
