they’ve announced that there will be an extra bank holiday in 2022 to commemorate the Queens 70th year on the throne, but is that dependent on her surviving till then? Or will they cancel it if she keels over and there’s a state funeral before then?
Quick - send her some vitamins!
No good to me … my rest days Thursday Friday

Gawd help us if she keels over during the Covid crisis.
They’ll have to have a socially distant funeral without all the pageantry
If she keels over, the state funeral would probably become a bank holiday, so unless she keels over AND is buried on an already scheduled bank holiday, then it’s a win-win situation surely?
A few days ago, word was going about that Her Maj was about to abdicate…
Just one more bit of fake news for the chit-sheets eh?

An extra day off once every 25yrs
vs
getting rid of an archaic system and giving the countrys wealth back to the countrys citizens?
I`ll give up my 3 days off I think.

The first one Google brought up. I await your heavily researched ten others refuting that with baited breath

A bit of suspicious accounting in that article:
£59million taken from visitors, UK and foreign is a net gain? Not money you and I might have paid to visit palaces and see pictures that should really be the countrys property, not the Queens?
Would foreign visitors really stay away if we made the royals redundant?
They take part in trade talks, OK, but how many of those deals would not have happened if the royals werent there? Classing a TV programme as their "earnings"!? Nonsense. . Apart from all of which, *I didnt say anywhere* that they cost more than they earnt.
Even if it cost a few bob, I`d still get rid of them so we can, as I did say, get rid of an archaic system, and give the wealth they hold back to the country.

I dont imagine for a moment that the cash from Lizzie Windsors Post Office account will be divvied up between us all.
So maybe I live on the same planet as you?
.
Edit to add.
Im also not talking about any individuals ability or not to do the job. Mrs Windsor has done a lot and should be left alone to retire.
No one should inherit any job in this country. I`m not in favour of closed shops for dockies and their families, nor for royals and their families.

Royalty PLC is a business, no more, no less. A highly profitable business that I freely admit that I’m ambivalent towards, I don’t particularly care either way. You need to examine your feelings towards it though and ask yourself if it’s envy that directs your animosity towards anyone, anything or any industry that is successful . Just a thought.

No one should be born into slavery or poverty, equally no one should be born into power or wealth.
No need to invoke animosity and envy.
Agree totally about poverty and slavery, but I honestly can’t get my ■■■■■■■ in a twist about a quirk of fate that sees someone born into privilege or wealth. I’m just not bothered tbh and would just as likely say “fair one mate, you landed on your feet”. Envy is not one of my traits.

If you agree it isnt right to be born into a low position, why dont you agree it isn`t right to be born into a high one?
Surely you condoning inequality?
I never understand the working classes affection for the Royal Family. The nobility has always and will always look down on us as peasants, to be used and abused.
Get rid of the monarchy and open up the palaces for the tourist trade, there is good money to be made there.
