I’ve already answered that by saying if we can get rid of the Monarchy and have a system that isn’t open to abuse then we should go for it. I would have fears that if we did get rid of them their riches wouldn’t be shared round fairly.

can we go for the french option, please?

Quote one … and round in circles we go please explain how you know how angry other people are about things ? We had pages and pages about cost of living … there is even a large thread and poll about it in the glastonbury section I set up …. Today weirdly people might think talking about the royal family is also very relevant 

Have a look back at the last few pages and you’ll see multiple examples of it some of which have been by yourself.

I haven’t said talking about the Royals today just about people getting riled up over people standing in a queue. Your responses indicate that was a fair assessment.

Seriously stop telling people how they feel about things and what they are allowed to post about.

I haven’t said what people can/can’t post, only commented on how nasty some have been in here.

This shouldn’t be allowed, people should be off today with full pay or allowed to work. The cost of living crises hasn’t gone away.

You're constantly telling people they're angry about one thing and not about another. In reality you don't know what people feel beyond what they share here (which is a fraction of their thoughts and feelings) so just give it a rest.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I've stuck up for you in the post Ozanne when there's been a bit of a pile-on but honestly you don't own the thread and you don't get to dictate topics of discussion or tone-police it. Just ease off a bit with all that.

would have been much cheaper if they'd chucked her on the compost heap last weekend.

So who’s watching ? I’ve actually got it on as I’m intrigued … but I’ve not actually watched anything yet and have plenty of jobs on … so might well not … what time does it all finish ?

That’s the perception that’s been given off when people have said that those standing in the queue are ‘fucking idiots’ or ‘dicks’ or something similar. Kinda seems like they are angry. I’ve said in response to just be kind and try to understand why people are doing those things. Isn’t kindness and understanding a big facet of Glastonbury Festival?

I’ll say it again, there’s nothing wrong with being angry to a certain extent but maybe a level of empathy should be the way to go.

I'm going to give up now, just going round and round with this patronising bullshit.

Have a good day all.

True but these days it’s much more obvious, I guess with wages being so stagnant it will be like that.

I filled the car up yesterday and ended up paying more for a litre of milk than a litre of petrol. Nationalise the cows?
