the problem is you are putting yourself "out there" with your somewhat unconventional posts. You have to expect a certain amount of ridicule and scorn. It's the way of the world.

If the monarchy ceased to exist all that would change is we have a different picture on our coins and banknotes, and the government would save a few million quid a year.

Absolutely nothing of any real consequence whatsoever would change. Only, and sorry if you think this is unfair Peter, a cretin of gargantuan magnitude would think otherwise.

Sure, I'd love to see the monarchy dismantled, but compared to the rest of the worlds problems this is a microscopic concern. As is the break up of the United Kingdom or not. Independence for Scotland? I could not give a shiney shite. It matters not a jot.

You appear to have some kind of passion and drive, such a shame you are wasting it so completely.

And going back to your claims that you are a "leader". You demonstrate none of the communication skills, charisma and panache required by a strong leader. You have not persuaded a single person here by your arguments. In fact, even those of use who broadly share your views - abolishion of the monarchy - do not side with you.

You are, in fact, the polar opposite of a leader. You are almost making us want to support the monarchy just so we arent seen to side with you in any way whatsoever.

I think independence for Scotland matters a bit more. It'd have a major impact on them, and a major impact on what governments we could form - English constituencies alone always provide a Tory victory, it's the scale of that victory that determines whether the Scottish + Welsh Labour constituences are enough to swing it to them.

I agree with that, but I believe peter is under the impression that the dismantling of the monarchy and independence for scotland will somehow be the catalyst for change on a global scale, unless I have misunderstood some of his ramblings on his videos,

I'm still unsure how condeleeza rice fits into this whole thing though, Empress of the new world order I think, or something. Whatever it will be, it will involved both her and peter being naked from the waist down

Again, you're miles behind the times. The BNP are in utter disarray. Humilated at the polls and in massive conflict internally.

Griffin being on TV is one of the greatest things to happen for the anti-racism movement in this country in years.

He was exposed completely as a laughable, bumbling cretin. And support for the party subsequently crashed.

I agree the BNP are abhorrent. But giving them the opportunity to prove this, and their incompetence, to a wider audience is a good thing.

Banning them will create more problems than it solves.

except they don't. Which is why they've not been banned. :rolleyes:

You and I might recognise the unspoken sub-text of what they plan to do, but until they're proven as not adhering to our laws around what is democracy, they're in the clear.

Patrotism implies that people who live on/are born on (delete depending on views) one area of land in the world are somehow better than people who live elsewhere.

So you're a democrat, that believes in banning people with opinions you disagree with from being allowed to run for government or attempt to influence policy? You say you're a leader, yet not only do you completely fail to inspire anyone, but you tell people they're stupid for not realising they should believe and follow you?

You're going to go far.

no borders, means no borders. There wouldn't be other countries. There'd still be different cultures, which aren't governed by borders/countries, but you get different cultures within the borders anyway

you haven't thought this through very much, have you?

    • I saw that the payment method is contactless wristbands - I understand you collect them at the festival site and can top them up there as well? Yes, there are top up points, keep the recepe if you want to withdraw the money in the end   How much does food and drink usually cost at the festival? We would like to know how much money we should prepare for the festival. Beer, Wine etc. 5€, Gin tonic, Whishkey Cola were 6-6.5€, food 10€    Is there a bus from the festival site to the city center? And are there any stops along the way? No offical info yet, but ussualy there are free festival buses from Ljubljanica to festival site, with few stops on the way. Nice to get to the festival but crowded from festival back to the city.   Where is the best place to find an Uber/Bolt to return from the festival site? Petrine ulica   Are there any shaded areas to take a break from the strong sun? Yes, i think there is some.
