The End Of The Monarchy?

[youngmafbog]

It is being said the Queen supports the extreme left wing Marxist group called BLM.

The Queen famously has always remained apolitical but if she has departed from this to support a Marxist organisation then surely its time for a Republic.

Jeez, on the bottle and reading the Morning Star.....come on YMFB, Andy Capp (read Burnham) you are not.

Nah.Whenever this subject comes up all the left-wing eejits want either Tony Blair or John Prescott as president.Or ole magic grandpa even.Only one chance of that.No chance.Heidbangers.

At 95 I'd say the Queen has had enough of it all by now and is just trolling half the time no need to worry about that leading to a republic, the Monarchy will be all but over when she sadly passes way because the rest of the world don't care about the rest of them apart from bizarrely Harry, whom we all hate but secretly hope he'll sort himself out.

Unless HRH comes out and publicly supports them, I'll consider this report utter bow locks.

BLM isn't a Marxist group.

It's a claim made by conservatives and the Conservatives, but doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.

[Barsel]

I don't believe a word of it, and Buck House should be putting out a statement denying it.

How can they, Barsel? Can you imagine what could (and no doubt would) be read into that?

[naomi24]

Reading their mission statement tells you all you need to know. Sorry, I can’t post a link.

Thanks bednobs - I can post links - just not from this phone. :o)

There is no single BLM movement.

It’s an umbrella term for a number of organisations that don’t align themselves to a proscribed political movement.

And you can use Google (again) - look up the tenets of Marxism and briefly explain how the aims of a socio-economic philosophy can be aligned with the aim of a disparate set of groups fighting for equity.

Might be a bit of an effort but better in the long run than simply parroting something you’ve read off the Internet.

I'm sure I read that in future, if any untruths were printed about the RF, a statement would be issued to deny it.
Of course that might also be untrue. :-)

Remember that furore in the late 80s when the Queen (allegedly) came out against the policies of the Thatcher administration?

At the time a Palace spokesman had to resign, but the Palace didn’t actually deny the story.

The same might happen again.

I really can’t see an official statement being released denying the story.

[sp1814]

Might’ve been the 90s.

[Barsel]

I don't suppose we ever know the truth of what goes on and I just don't believe what I read half the time.
The only time I believe things is if I see the person actually saying them.
People who know the RF always think they know everything about them and I don't believe they can, it's either guesswork or it's taken out of context.

I’m forever being told not to speak on behalf of Princess Eugenie but I can’t help myself.

As an example, when P.Charles was having photos taken with his sons many years ago, his microphone was still turned on, and we heard him say how he couldn't bear Nicolas Whitchall the journalist, so we all know he said it 'cos we heard him.
