The stink of desperation is strong. I even have some random Brittish Trump cultist trying to convince me of the latest OAN conspiracy of the week in

@adorbz I guess Boris isn't clown enough for them.

@MarmeeMarch i really really didn’t want brexit 😆 that’s what I meant by the trumpys ruining us

@MarmeeMarch The irony of that coming from a Trumpist like you is painful. How's that wall of incompetence going?

@MarmeeMarch 🤦‍♂️ The fact you don't see the irony is just sad.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow TBF Marmee is joking. He is also right about Brexit.

@MarmeeMarch you won’t find a british trump supporter who doesn’t also support brexit 😅 but no it’s not really americas fault

@MarmeeMarch A fool.

@MarmeeMarch we get all your news over here way more than you get ours, stuff that happens in american politics has an indirect effect here especially when there’s people like Farage doing both. There are trump fanboys in britain who’ve just seen too much rightwing american news

@adorbz
Definitely. Not all Brexiteers like Trump but all British Trumpsters will have voted for Brexit.

@MarmeeMarch It is not double talk it is understanding the subject matter which you proved you don't in that discussion too.

@MarmeeMarch Lol. Because to a right winger tax breaks are magical solutions for everything.

Your claims about the "paying for the Monarchy" shows you have no understanding of the situation and just assume based on stereotypes.

@MarmeeMarch Again a statement made out of complete ignorance.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It's not ignorance. I mean, he isn't completely right but he isn't wrong either and his views are actually in line with most British people.

The Queen is mostly a formal and ceremonial figure. By convention, the Queen's Speech on policy is what Parliament mandates, and the Monarch has not gone against it for hundreds of years. This is by a convention that is long and established.

However, if there ever was a crisis for the British Ruling Class (a socialist revolution, just suppose) then it's unclear whether this convention would stand. So the monarch could go against Parliament hypothetically but never has and could not do so without creating a constitutional crisis.

I am against the monarchy as rule but I don't think this is a primary concern. There are other and much more fundamental parts of ruling class power within the British state.

@Burnley123 Ceremonial or not a Head of State serves a function and can't just be removed with no alternative. In Canada you get similar talk about the GG but nobody has a plan besides "get ride of them because empire and stuff." It also doesn't address that the royal family are by far the largest land owners in the UK and the British government makes a mint off of said land. If they were to be made common citizens that agreement would be voided creating a much much bigger and much more expensive problem blasting a massive hole in the revenues of the British Government.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow not if the change gave most of that land to the government

@adorbz Seizure of private property in a capitalist country? Sure, that would go over well.
