I can't figure out what "the Royals" represent...the good old days? Entrenched power? The status quo? A look back with yearning hearts at gone-but-not-forgotten feudal system?
It's beyond bizarre.

Would you really trust the British government to use the money wisely or justly?

Holy moly? What a waste! Have you seen the price of eggs lately?

I used to love it when radical groups used to smash pies in the faces of asshole leaders or celebs that were corrupt or right wingers, but that was in more innocent days when they wouldn't be fatally shot on the spot for daring to assault their betters... Nowadays, it would be a death sentence to get that close to a member of the ruling class and try it..

Not all hero’s wear capes my friends!!?!

Really. I have no problem with royalty as long as it is in another country. American's do not need it and a great many of us are being hoodwinked.

Bummer that none of the eggs hit them. They were on their way to the unveiling of a statue of his mother. I think the image is a bit unflattering. [cnn.com]

"Earlier Wednesday, a 23-year-old man was arrested "on a suspicion of a public order offence" after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during their visit to York, according to North Yorkshire police. None of the eggs hit the royals, who carried on with their engagement, meeting members of the local community. The man has been interviewed and released on police bail, the force said in an update on Thursday."

Still not as fun as the shoe thrower:

I don't like GWB at all, but you have to admit he was pretty good at dodging the shoe.

But ya know? The British just LOVE their Royals...or so I've heard.

The Royal family is useless and quite greedy. I agree they should all be vacated to the streets and made to live a life of their lowest subjects.
