I don't think you would. I think the majority of Scots have a fondness for the idea of a socialist republic, a one party state. It will be very interesting to see what you do to yourselves. I hope you like concrete

| Quote: | A note on a recent death
We dream of a world where all can live long and die surrounded by family and friends. Where palaces are open to all, and nobody is born superior to others.
Monarchies are a roadblock to that destination, and, in the present moment, the future seems very far away.
But, if we ask questions - perhaps people will answer their way out of fairy tales.
It’s important not to shy away from what it means when a monarchy loses its head. The institution does everything it can to ensure dissent is stifled during the transition from monarch to monarch. Opportunities to question this transfer of power are limited, people are arrested for heckling proclamations, others are given preventative orders on assembly and travel. Emotionally invested people are prone to attack those who question their cultish faith…
Here’s to those of you who, in your own way, are resisting the system - either in public and out in the open: with banners and conversations, or clandestinely: with stickers, graffiti, and occupations; or amongst your peer group: asking questions, telling jokes, setting caged minds free.

I wouldn't suggest they look to be one. Nor would I suggest we look to be a republic. I'm never in favour of change for change's sake, nor out of motivations of hate and resentment.

I thought every thread, pub conversation etc.. ultimately lead to shagging Riley.
All roads lead to Rome and all that..

The announcement of staff redundancies could have been timed better....I'm guessing that the staff knew redundancies were likely but as they're very much a part of the show they'd surely be in mourning too.
The information is correct as in staff were notified of redundancies during a memorial service.
The monarchy is still surplus to requirements.
The mainstream media have and will always be steered by their owners and shareholders.
It's sad that an old lady has died.
PS
The roads will be quiet on Monday

Pat, please explain this throwaway statement (yourself). What are the "requirements"?
Personally, I think our monarchy will continue to outlast all your dodgy presidents and republics. Do you have an inkling of why it has so far?
Here's a clue: half of the US despised Trump as their head of state, the other half despises Biden.

So typical socialist resentment then, nothing more. No thought behind it, just knee-jerk reaction to someone who isn't held to the same rules as you. But the monarchy is not about the individuals. It is about the institution and its meaning.
Again, hatred and resentment with no understanding.
