Although I admire the Queen, and wish the Duke of Edinburgh well on the occasion of his 89th birthday, I am not a royalist; there is little logic to it once you strip away the falsehood of divine right of kings. And why should someone be king or queen. purely because of their exit from a particular womb?
Back in 1953 it was so different. I was an innocent child entranced by a free coronation mug and the sight of scores of brilliant red ,white and blue flags. I loved the excitement of it, as well as the cakes, jelly and meat sandwiches so lovingly handed out to us bairns. Little did I know, in 1953, that the Queen's mother had already got a history of spending money as if the nation was about to convert to a barter system. Neither did I not know that for much of WW2 she had stayed at comparatively safe Windsor, whilst some PR had given the impression that she was sharing the experience of explosions dished out to those in London.
I see that Prince Charles is blaming the world's ills on 'soulless consumerism and Galileo'; I bet that goes down well with the coalition.

Many country's are worse off and not as dominant when they scrap their royal family. Lets not forget what made Britain great. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
