So he will probably have to apologise on behalf of the charity, like Starmer had to apologise in his role of Director of Public Prosecutions and BJ on behalf of No 10.

Neat. :D

Bloody hell, Seth, is that harsh or what? I hope you’ve never done anything in your life others might criticise you for.

I was a Diana fan back in the day, but I suspect she was very needy and manipulative on a personal level. Charles has always wanted Camilla - it was not right that he was practically forced into an arranged marriage.

Except that BJ was personally involved*… ;)

It doesn't work like that and if they were to suggest it then it would be time to abolish the whole rotten system imo

He is indirectly responsible for Diana's death (he was cheating on her big time and famously told Camilla he wished he was a tampon).

Oh yes this is true, he famously forbade her from wearing a seat belt under any circumstances... :rolleyes:

Whatever you are smoking seems to be directly affecting your mind. :erm:

Well, I agree with that bit.

Well, take Cummings at his word, why don’t you? ;)

Note to self:- I wonder if he believes his story about the trip to Durham Castle as well? :scratch:

Who mentioned Cummings? Not sure how he took this picture, since he’s in it…

The cake was mentioned by a Johnson loyalist… ("ambush"…. <snigger>)

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2000629.html

And the fizz was pictured in December 2020, a month after Cummings had left No. 10…https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...5&d=1645124126

Seriously, these character assassination tactics are pathetic and I think his interview this afternoon has done him a lot of good with the public.

These vindictive reporters are doing themselves no favours, and frankly, this will show up the BBC to be anti-Conservatives for all to see. That will do their 'politically neutral' argument no good at all!

I didn’t say he took the pictures. And cake or no cake, how do you know the purpose of this get-together? They may just have been discussing Conservative Party policy outside for all you know.

You cannot look at the picture and paint the worst possible scenario and then have that forming an unshakable opinion. You have to consider feasible alternatives if you want to be taken seriously.

Of course, that is the only rational course of action but since the nation has been groomed for centuries to believe Monarchy is a "good thing", it will be a little while before this happens although they are doing a pretty good demolition job themselves at the moment. Long may that continue.

I mean, having someone who actually believes that she is appointed by God to rule over you and I and demands & expects deference when you are in her presence. I mean, really, it is a sick joke ..

Yes, but you were not, and you are happy enough to believe him this time. What’s changed?

We seem to have gotten two threads mixed up.This is the Prince Charles charity thread. Please take the cummings and boris references to the the number 10 lockdown thread.

…And replace it with what, exactly? A presidential system?

That would work….[not]

Or was it one of his flunkies that did the procurement? Or is he not covered because he is capable of dishing out honours at his discretion, in theory?


It was a flunky.

I think what the anti-monarchists are missing is the ‘soft power’ that the system of royalty enables us to enjoy. Politicians come and go. The monarchy offers continuity, and the system is cheaper than a presidential system.

So while I’m not a fan of Prince Charles, unless he stands down, he should be allowed his time as king. Given his age, his reign will be comparatively short in any case.

Replace it with nothing, we don't need a President and we've neglected the commonwealth so long in favour of the EU that they no longer need us and with the monarchy gone the Lords and outdated class system/ old school tie can sod off with them
