Will Charles make a good King?

Not something we have to worry about for a few years yet

As pump says a few years yet before that happens but maybe Charles will stand aside in favour of his son when the time comes.
The Queen will be a hard act to follow.

He's just a person. Pretty average in almost every way.

it's good to be king, if just for a while

To not be king at all Charles would have to technically abdicate before the Queen dies as he  automatically become King the instant the Queen dies, he is old school & would follow his mother down the same path & never abdicate imo, decades down the road it will probably be all different when William is King.

yes, I think he will be terrific.

yes, I think he will be terrific.

The Queen Mother was 101 when she died, the Queen is 88 and as far as we are aware she still has good a good engine. Prince Charles is 66 so lets say for arguments sake The Queen lives for another 13 years that would make Charles nigh on 80 at the time of his Coronation. Two things, firstly it is not completely beyond the realms of possibility the Queen will outlive Charles and even if she doesn't, what is the point of a very old man being crowned King? I can't see the point personally but no doubt even if they have to drive him in on a mobility scooter at whatever age he will want his day with a crown on his bonce.

William should get the gig when the Queen dies as far as I'm concerned but Charles will never allow that to happen imo.

there she is

wrong fred

Charles has to get the gig, it is what his entire life has been for. It would be like promising you that one day you would get to ride Letitia, only come the day you couldn't get a stiffy.

If the Monarch made the laws then it would be understandable for William to take the gig, as its all purely ceremonial now its really irrelevant who is monarch as far as I am concerned.

Surely that would count as a blessing in disguise.

depends who you are

I think Charles will be an awful King but I think the same about William. We need a King in the mould of say someone like Johnny Wilkinson and not some chinless Windsor.

Queen Letitia and Slippy, the Duke of Dulwich does have a ring to it.  Time to let the commoners have a go.

I think Slippy is of the aristocracy so the commoner thing isn't quite true.

His dad was an Irish builder......surely not aristocracy !

who gives a flying f uck about this big eared sponger, you have all been successfully brainwashed since birth and you have my pity

Probably loves P.I.E.

save the pity for yourself you need it more

who gives a flying f uck about this big eared sponger, you have all been successfully brainwashed since birth and you have my pity

That's quite a co-incidence cos nobody gives a flying f uck what a big mouthed sponger like you thinks.

All Royalists deserve pity, as do forum addicts like burton

how wounding

Cutting edge insults. Wow.
Although tbf not bad for a juvenile.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but the truth is often simple, you two will probably be sat here at 00:59 on New years Eve ready to wish each other a Happy New years ffs

ok so from now on we'll refer to you as the truth

no I won't be here I will be long gone to bed

Yep The Leopard, that is completely true and I'm very proud of Dad and my Irish roots. In no way would anyone who ever met me consider me to be pretending that I'm something I'm not. I used to work on a building sites in the school holidays to earn my pocket money, nowt wrong with that.

slippy what do you think of your new manager?

Very happy with Alan Pardew B-B, a Palace man through and through and if anyone can get us safe he's the man for the job. Not sure how much transfer funds will be made in January though, we'll have to wait and see about that.

Prince Charles - good friend of Jimmy Saville

just saying

I do not think all friends of JS were paedophiles myself

The queen does not want Charles on the throne...because of Camilla, although she not like
Prince Di either

correction Princess Di

Is Charles a bit weak perhaps. Edward VIII gave up his throne to marry Mrs Simpson

Charles loved Camilla but allowed himself to be persuaded into marrying Princess DI....an emotional tragedy

If it was to get himself on the throne it has not worked so far, and he is back with Camilla

Princess Di the nations 'princess' tragically now dead

Charles had to marry someone do not think Camilla was an option at the time, Charles could have married Camilla's sister apparently but that's another story, anyway Diana was found he married her solely to produce an heir then started an affair again  with Camilla, what I cannot get my head around is Charles starts the  affair  again that that was probably in the making while Charles was on his honeymoon he then separates from Diana,  down the line Diana dies & after waiting what was thought the correct amount of time Camilla was paraded as Charles new love interest as though the world & his corgi didn't already know & his sons accept Camilla as though she was a new stranger in Charles life when all is said & done his love for Camilla over 35 years in the making indirectly bought about Di's demise, if I was Wills or Harry I would surely want to royally spit in Camilla's eye.

I wonder what the odds would be for a member of the royal family to be very close frroends with a paedophilic necrophiliiac murderer most prolific in british known history known to secret services,who was an ageing dj of absolutely no significance other than childrens charities.How could someone be on best friend terms with not just royalty but the then current prime minister and other mps,ask your self this question why would he be allowed to mix with these unless themselves were ''untouchable''

The Royals are untouchable, Britain's image would never be allowed to be tarnished with a Royal scandal of that proportion, poor Diana

Just very unlucky in choosing their friends the royals,thatcher,ted heath, etcit would take you 10 million years to meet someone like that never mind befriend them!!Imagine the real enormity of it all!

Never mind eh!There's plenty of immigrants and muslims to blame for everything else..

I like him

He seems to have brought his sons up well in to put it mildly somewhat trying circumstances

He will make an excellent King

I see the the ginger gooner was at the darts tonight, I doubt he paid for a ticket, sponger

Since nobody knew of these allegations,why would they not?

Not one allegation was ever proved, it is all assumption

Personally I think we gone completely potty myself

Who did he murder by the way, that is a knew one on me?

Are you for real,do you not read whats happening or do you just pretend it hasn't happened!

ok I am the last to know

I am still interested in who he murdered by the way??????????????????

apologies, I just remembered there was a claim about murder some weeks in a conspiracy

not js that one

I never keep up, all it is all a bit much for some of us old timers

My worry is the Queen Mother liked the horses, and the Queen never misses the Derby.  Charles likes/liked polo, but that's all.
I want a king who plays snooker, and goes to the races.

Will he even out live his mother?  He's 66 already.

It would be amusing if the old boiler outlived him.

That's my Queen your talking about.

I'd sooner serve Her Majesty than have a facking muslim in Buckingham Palace.

The problem is imo, is that the royal family underpins vested interests in this country.

So long as those vested interests of a tiny minority are preserved and protected, the rest can go to hell.

If we had like in the US, a government of the people, for the people, by the people, must of the ills in modern day Britain which most on here rail against, would be less likely to occur.

If we had like in the US, a government of the people, for the people, by the people

everybody gets a gun

death sentences in prisons

packed out prisons

$billions spent on war while citizens have no jobs

$billions spent by NASA while citizens have no jobs

riots every time an armed black person gets shot by a police officer

no riots when an unarmed hispanic youth gets shot DEAD by a black police officer

We need a Republic.

The Royal Family would be much better off if they stepped aside and would get less attention from the press/media.

Every country has its problems but their system of government is far more accountable and transparent.

For example, take the open door immigration policy of recent years. Do you think that would have occurred if the powerful vested interests had been affected?

The Leopard    30 Dec 14 12:27 
We need a Republic.

Why ?
The Queen has no say whatsoever in the running of the county


So lets have a president who on his own could press the button for destruction

It's never 1 man's decision, maybe a group of 5's, each advised by 3 or 4 people.

The Queen is at the head of the British Army.

If it came to it....they all fall in behind her and her family.

That's why Wills and Harry went in the Army/RAF/Navy.

I'd sooner serve Her Majesty than have a facking muslim in Buckingham Palace.

Come on please cmat

we are different subject here

We are ever so slightly aware of your views on some subjects

...sad but true

Yes very tiresome ebul.

I think we are all aware by now that cmug detests blacks and muslims.

A stuck needle springs to mind...

call me a taxi

You're a taxi. no need to thank me.

no no you misunderstand
i was going to reply to "call me a taxi"
you forgot to mention The Muppets

No misunderstanding, had to get it in quickly before the correction....... It's been a slow day, well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

very nervous about having a man as King who wishes he had been a tampon inside Camilla (tho I fantasise about it regularly but I am not proposing to be King)

I found it most strange that wesdag, never commented on the 'Who's your favourite sportsman?' thread after I selected the best known muslim sportsman on the planet - Muhammad Ali.

I wonder why not?

And if wesdag thinks I was bluffing, and he knows more about the professional fight career of Clay/Ali than I do, he's welcome to take me on in a quiz.

Why would someone who allegedly hates muslims know his career that well.

I must be easy to beat, surely.   

It's also strange that wesdag managed not to comment on any thread where I mention my mates Don and Tony, who are both Jamaicans.

I wonder why not?

It was equally strange that wesdag and other cambridge  punts, never comment on my Newham threads after I had stated that I lived with a Sikh girl for 3 or 4 months in the 1970s.

I wonder why not? 

Wetwanq thinks I hate blacks because one mugged my disabled sister, because he's brought that up about 4 times, not that he cares about Newham, you understand.

I posted about Newham and wetwanq and his mates said they didn't care, but it took them over 20 posts to say it on one thread WABOC

And all he does is tell his mate SH that I hate blacks and muslims.

Still, a broken clock is right twice a day.

Not if it's digital.

Wonder if there will be a big celebration if Liz breaks Vicky's record.  It is sometime in 2015 I believe.  More interesting than a 60th anniversary imo.

Anything to allow us to wave our flags. I'm in, think I'll organise a street party.

I think you are a decent bloke CMAT

I think you need to get your feelings out, that's all

I questioned whether this was the thread that is all??????

Where would you expect me to reply to wetwanq, on a different thread?

I was explaining my own post, I cannot answer for wesdag

I think the problem with Prince Charles and the Royals in general is that they do not have a role

Parliament governs this country

In the past they have been more influential than now, Queen Victoria was, in fact they ruled us at one time

They seem to be just for show now, or some kind of living soap opera


My opinion is Charles is someone who never quite got his personal life sorted out

His only contribution are his comments on Architecture. I don't know whether he is right or wrong, but at least he has brought it back

into the public eye for discussion.

We have some very good Architects in this country

ttt for wesdag

ready for when he's done his 12 hour night shift as a security guard.

he talks to the trees - but they don't listen to him

I welcome and accept your humble admission and passionate denial that you may not be all that you appear.

Whenever you launch into your predictable racially charged rants, I shall now wear a wry smile in the light of your revelations.

Although such revelations will be welcomed by most, are you not concerned about your reputation as chit chat's foremost racial propagandist and rabble rouser coming under scrutiny?

You forgot to tell me I was having a 'meltdown', that cost me a tenner.

As I live in the real world, I can safely say that my real world reputation has not changed in 45 years.

That mean that bozos like you can't do anything about it.

Enjoy your night shift.

You need not worry about a Muslim in Buck House in my opinion CMAT

As head of The Church of Ebgland...it would create a conflict of interests


Elizabeth has not done too bad, but she has to preside over a declining and changing country

When she came to power we still had some of our Empire left, but sadly long gone now

Does it matter who is Monarch now, not really?

I'm usually only on the forum when there's racing or football on.

Hope that's ok with you.

I'll leave the 24/7 ranting to you and your "inner circle".



Even if I was, what's wrong with being a security guard?

Are they also on your lengthy hate list?

Now Now guys,play nicely in 2015.............OK, alright, I'll p-off and mind my own business.

of course he will make a good king,very nice of his late wife to say the opposite

Normal forumite misuse of the word 'hate'

I don't hate anybody.

But he's dead.
