Thing is you aren't having a discussion you're just trolling the moment by throwing unfounded insults, ageist prejudice and unsubstantiated claims of unworthiness. You make no argument for what you think the role of a national figurehead should be, their duties, competencies or value. You show no respect for the passing of someone and the grieving others are entitled to you just voice your hate. Where're your many threads clamouring for the dispossession of all the other exploitative people doing far worse damage to ours and World society? So many far richer than the Monarchy.
I always thought you were quite eloquent.
I didn't realise that having an elected head of state was so controversial.
As for ageist, when are you due to retire?
I have made an argument. Perhaps you missed it. It doesn't have to be on your terms.
Your criteria appears to be number of functions attended.
If you truly think I'm trolling, report me or come up with something to debate with, rather than your pseudo outrage.
Anyone would think this thread is directly addressed to the "Royal" family.
It's not up to you to define or enforce the grounds of discussion.
If this topic is forbidden, by forum rules, then so be it.
Edit; The highlighted part of your post says it all.
Just a thought, if I was to follow your "guidance" I wouldn't be trying to change the world on a punting forum. Simply having a discussion, or at least trying to.
You're doing almost exactly what you've accused me of.
I'll leave you to speculate on what or whom I hate.
