You've managed to publicly ...Well done, Councillor. You've managed to publicly embarrass Renfrewshire throughout the UK - I hope you're proud of yourself...<BR/><BR/>Moreover, your post would be laughable for its inaccuracies were it not rendered so disturbing by the fact that you are one of my elected representatives. Allow me to make a few points:<BR/><BR/>- Muslims, Jews and so forth are not excluded from becoming King or Queen by law; only Roman Catholics.<BR/><BR/>- The Queen is not the richest woman in the world - not by a long shot. She's not even the richest woman in Britain. <BR/><BR/>- The Queen does not own Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. Why she should be responsible for the upkeep in your mind is beyond me. <BR/><BR/>As for your point about Royal travel, it is comparable to any head of state, and the nature of a non-executive head of state requires being a public figure making oneself available domestically and internationally.<BR/><BR/>How much would you save by abolishing the monarchy? Not a lot I should imagine, considering the full expenditure on head of state costs are paltry - and then you'll still need a head of state (with Presidencies in Germany and France, for example, costing more to administer than the British monarchy). In fact, you're making a rather obvious saving: the Queen, unlike other heads of state, performs her role for free - she does not receive a salary. <BR/><BR/>Trust me, I feel like rather more of a fool having to pay for the likes of you to govern us. I'm beginning to thank God that government is so centralised if this is an example of the standard of the average councillor. <BR/><BR/>Cheerio.-https://www.blogger.com/profile/06144347543667242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-79223363181562093222008-10-15T18:26:00.000+00:002008-10-15T18:26:00.000+00:00(Anonymous) 17:55“Stick your thumb back in your mo...(Anonymous) 17:55<BR/><BR/>“Stick your thumb back in your mouth you jealous old fart! “ <BR/><BR/>This sentence has given you away, you’re Prince Philip right ?Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-825194809145772122008-10-15T17:55:00.000+00:002008-10-15T17:55:00.000+00:00Foolish Communist talk.Imagine a world where Labou...Foolish Communist talk.<BR/><BR/>Imagine a world where Labour never won electoral victory in 1997; a world where 50 more hospitals could have been built with the millenium dome money, a world where a freer market exists withou Labour's pathetic archaic taxes, a world where 100,000 living men would be walking the earth had they not been killed by Talibans.
