Everyone will have their own opinions of the politics of the UK and that of Scotland. So I really hope that this isn't going to be where you try and force opinions onto people because that is just plain rude and will make people far more apathetic than they already are.

No actually France, Italy and America have thriving tourist industries even though there is no King or Queen for people to go and see there.

The Queen costs us more. Why?

There are people in Scotland & Britain who are denied the opportunity to contribute to the economy of Scotland and Britain by being forced out of university, like I was forced out of Aberdeen University in 1991 and Robert Gordon University in 2003.

Now there are two ways people of ability can react to being put out of university like a dog -

(1) To leave the country and many talented people DO leave - it is called "THE BRAIN DRAIN" and they go to somewhere maybe the USA where their talents are allowed to flourish, not forced on the dole or into unsuitable jobs. The Brain drain costs us TRILLIONS which end up going to the American people instead of to the people here.

(2) To go into politics to try to change things in THIS country so that ALL people here are allowed a chance to create millions or billions for our economy. This is the approach I have taken. I am staying to fight to change things here.

I do not blame people for apathy. The BBC consider themselves the biggest and best British nationalists around - yet no-one does more than them to damage Britain or Scotland by supporting the Queen.

It is absolutely impossible for most people to see past the BBC spin and lies because the BBC and other broadcasters only present one side - the BBC have a "Royal correspondent" who publicises the Queen - but they do not have a "Republican correspondent" publicising arguments against the monarchy.

In short people are brainwashed and you need to be VERY clever to see through it all.

You do like music right?

Please do not be patronising when people don't share your views. It makes you sound like a bitter man!

I do not wish to know why you were forced out of University, but there must've been some good reasons for it.

And to be honest, a one man army isn't going to change anything in this country.

Hahaha i thought that too as soon as i seen the members online....

Whens the huge explosion happening?

Note: you may not like the queen and such (hell im not a fan of her myself..) but shes a boost for tourism. Supposedly.

The Queen merely makes the British economy millions upon millions every year.

Really? So you're in support..

The Royal family are part of British history whether people like it or not.

Convention: not a strong argument to base anything on.

Really it wouldn't matter to me if they disappeared.

So you're not in support...

If people are traditionalists then they will like the hysteria surrounding the Royal family

These traditionalists; they're actually just Sun readers who have been sold the idea of Britishness.

Jeez..

I don't see any point in the monarchy any more. Who cares about sustaining lineages at public cost, apart from the heirs themselves + vested corporate and state interests?

Oh, right. Sorry. You must be very clever, I'm glad I have someone so wise to preach to me on a music site about how the monarchy is useless.

Yes.Big conspiracy. As it's been said already, it's pushing a lot of people towards an all consuming apathy.
