Forest's take on the Royal Wedding So Megan’s dad was smeared by the press, and unable to attend. Victim of a fictitious heart operation. A bit like Harry’s dad, the also absent James Hewitt. Then off to the state-funded celebrations, costing all of us a fortune.
What a sad outlook you have on life.

It was astonishing that we in 21st century Britain are pandering to ridiculous, religious codswallop. Totally bonkers. State sanctioned bonkers.

That said purely in financial terms they rake in over 360 Million for government coffers for which they take 40 Million for themselves. They are also 3X Cheaper than the French presidency & 5X cheaper than the German Chancellor.

Sounds like you still haven't got over your hate, Hrolf. If I can tolerate people of all faiths or none, surely you can too. There is plenty of religious codswallop about but the Anglican marriage ceremony hardly comes into that category. It's just a church service.

I didn't watch the wedding. Simply because I don't like weddings very much. But, to all you anti-monarchists spouting on about how much it costs the state, it costs less than 70p per person to finance them. Per year. And the funding they bring in to this country is phenomenal. Far more than from the unwashed down-and-out selling the big issue that people flock to support at £1 per go.

When did you last buy a big issue?
Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link] |

I don't tolerate 'faith' at all well and I'm proud to say so. It has no place in any ceremony.
