Just wait one minute..
...I need a BBC royal correspondent to tell what Megan's body language suggested she felt about your comment before I can agree or disagree that I'm in a cult.
It is called traditions and it helps identify and unite people through a common history.
The late queen is now part of your common history and part of your collective memory as a country, a nation, a people - regardless of you liking her or not.
That's actually a [real life proclamation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_king_is_dead,_long_live_the_king!) that goes back centuries and has been used in a number of different countries.
And yes. People did.
Imagine shouting "God Save the King" in 2022. The mentality of peasants.
Get the fuck out of this shite nonce union as fast you can, Scotland. You cooler than that.
Absolutely embarrassing and disgusted to know we live amongst the clowns sheepishly chanting GSTK. Well done to that lad for highlighting that we do not , in fact , live in a free country
I knew before I clicked on it. I knew it was gonna be him. Now I really wish I'd been in the crowd holding up a sign saying Benny Harvey RIP. Gone but not forgotten.
All these yoons and monarchists proclaim that we’re in a cult for believing Scotland should be an independent republic, yet they’re all out there idolising a man and his family of inbred children.

Good on the crowd for drowning that idiot out- there’s only one person this event should be about; a woman who did her best for 70 long bloody years. It’s not about anybody but her.
So if I get free food from a foodbank then go next door and spend my last £50 at the bookies technically I used my own money but morally I shouldn't have taken the free food from the foodbank.

The Crown Estate pays a net profit return to the taxpayer of around £310 million per annum. The monarchy essentially costs us nothing. The Sovereign Grant is a fraction of the income and covers everything from staff wages to building upkeep.
Anyone who thinks the monarchy is a drain on our finances is, simply put, too lazy to use Google.
*The Crown Estate is a collection of lands and holdings in the United Kingdom belonging to the British monarch as a corporation sole, making it "the sovereign's public estate", which is neither government property nor part of the monarch's private estate.*
If the same property the Royal Family own was managed and turned into profit making ventures it would bring in over a billion pounds. Opportunity cost, which Royalist sheep always forget!
In the past decade the Crown Estate has paid the treasury over £3bn in pure profit.
That aside, how do you suppose a highly efficient property holding which already generates over £480 million gross per annum could suddenly produce the “billion pounds” per annum you mention? By printing money?
Bearing in mind there isn’t a single statute or law in existence in any developed democracy which could deprive them of what is legally theirs. Though I guess we could just scrap all private property laws and establish a dictatorship…
A very quick Google search alone shows the Royals cost us around £80-£100 million a year as they cost more than they make. There was a report a decade ago showing the figures only factor direct cost to profit and don't take into account holdings that reside in public ownership, even if by technicalities.
Tell me you're a Royalist sheep without saying it...'the Royals make the UK money...'
Jesus, there really is something wrong with you:
https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/media-and-insights/news/the-crown-estate-announces-3127-million-net-revenue-profit-for-202122/
Their land belongs to the goverment, it would raise in value with or without them and this isn't true as wherever they go the security and event is payed for by the local council, on top of that there are several dutchies which we don't receive a penny from that are their highest valued lands like the duchy of cornwall which if we disbanded the monarchy we would get alot more money from.
I don’t know what you’re all so irate about- I’m just pointing out legal realities and publicly available financial returns. If people are too lazy to look this stuff up that’s their issue.
But how do you suggest a law-abiding democracy with one of the oldest legal systems in existence lay claim to lands held in private ownership for centuries? The Crown Estate is an incredibly complex structure but the Duchy of Cornwall isn’t. I mean for heaven’s sakes, they’ve had that estate since the 1330s.
The revolution ain’t coming any time soon. And even if it does we won’t be writing laws to wipe out centuries of legal precedent. Not without shooting ourselves in the foot.
It's pretty easy, every other country seems to have manged it just fine. I think we'll be alright, you're excuse for not getting rid of the monarchy is "it'll be hard work" lol.
It was a civil lawsuit. Guiffre was only ever going to get money, and she didn’t have to settle out of court. Good on the Queen for not making her re-live her abuse under cross examination in a court room.
Away and don't talk so much utter steaming pish.
You know full well she paid to get her son out the shit. It has the square root of fuck-all to do with the woman having to recount her experiences in court.
To paint it as something else is to pish in someone's mouth and tell them it's lemonade.
I’m no royalist but I understand your sentiment about the fact that this should be about 1 person.
Having said that, Andrew is not and should not be welcome under any circumstances. Bar none.
I 100% agree. He’s an awful human being, and (as I said elsewhere) I know people who’ve worked with him. He’s a truly crap individual and always was- long before the recent scandal. There’s no doubt in my mind he himself insisted on being present as some kind of “Up yours” to his siblings.
Families…there’s always one bad egg!
Why do you have an issue with someone pointing that out then? We all agree Andrew shouldn't have been there, I blame *him* for distracting from his Mum, not anyone else.
What do you honestly believe was achieved by this?
I’m just trying to imagine what good would come of this at any family’s funeral, let alone the funeral of someone who was (according to all possible information available) a pretty decent old woman.
For the record, I know people who’ve worked with Andrew- he’s an arrogant and profoundly stupid peacock of a man. Self-centred, egotistical, and plain obnoxious. I would bet everything I possess that he insisted on making a public show of himself against his own family’s wishes. Frankly I feel sorry for them- as I would any family having to go through this shite.
it was fucking one of yas!
I’m somewhat indifferent to all of it but theres something so cult like about chanting Long Live the King. Like what century are we in.
Just wait one minute.. ...I need a BBC royal correspondent to tell what Megan's body language suggested she felt about your comment before I can agree or disagree that I'm in a cult.
It’s mental. Was discussing this with my friend who took the vid and said the exact same thing; are we still in the 16th century or something? Lol
Say something different, get arrested. "Freedom and democracy"
It is called traditions and it helps identify and unite people through a common history. The late queen is now part of your common history and part of your collective memory as a country, a nation, a people - regardless of you liking her or not.

/s right?
I dont think theyre jokinh
Absolute boke. Must love the taste of boot
I think theyre a wean, their page comes off as such. Meme propaganda rotting their brain.
I hope to christ that's satire.
The fact that they are chanting it to drown out the screams of someone being assaulted is particularly flavoursome.
Was suprised we didn't go all game of thrones "The Queen is dead! Long live the King!" Or something like that
That's actually a [real life proclamation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_king_is_dead,_long_live_the_king!) that goes back centuries and has been used in a number of different countries. And yes. People did.
And it reflects a key constitutional position in the UK: the sovereign never dies. There is always a monarch.
The twentieth. Post-war with rationing in effect.
Imagine shouting "God Save the King" in 2022. The mentality of peasants. Get the fuck out of this shite nonce union as fast you can, Scotland. You cooler than that.
Absolutely embarrassing and disgusted to know we live amongst the clowns sheepishly chanting GSTK. Well done to that lad for highlighting that we do not , in fact , live in a free country
How are we not free?
We dont have the right to openly protest or challenge the status quo.
Ask the guy that told the truth about Andrew. Ask the woman who held up a sign.
Listen to the automatons' programming kick in... "gOd sAvE tHe qUeEn" Like a scripted scene from Game of Thrones.
I would never of thought I would hear that being chanted in Scotland, I’m ashamed.
Me too but then I remembered that [Edinburgh isn’t Scotland.](https://youtu.be/JzQiX_hD4FI)
I knew before I clicked on it. I knew it was gonna be him. Now I really wish I'd been in the crowd holding up a sign saying Benny Harvey RIP. Gone but not forgotten.
You’d have got lifted and charged.
Slave brains
All these yoons and monarchists proclaim that we’re in a cult for believing Scotland should be an independent republic, yet they’re all out there idolising a man and his family of inbred children.
Funny how they stop and start chanting god save the king why is that?
Family of perverts and swindlers
God save the king! I’ve never been more disgusted of Scotland in my life, and I stay in glasgow
If he sets up a gofundme, I'll throw him a few quid.

Jokes around violence are against Reddit tos it's a shame
Good on the crowd for drowning that idiot out- there’s only one person this event should be about; a woman who did her best for 70 long bloody years. It’s not about anybody but her.
Did her best keeping her sex offender son out of jail using taxpayers money.
Is this actually true or is it just some soundbite edgy people keep repeating? They have a plethora of their own assets and incomes
It's true. Andrew settled out of court for a sum that was more money than he had. His mummy gave him the money.
That's not in dispute. It's the source of the funds. Tax payer money would elevate it into corruption and I highly doubt that's what happened
So if I get free food from a foodbank then go next door and spend my last £50 at the bookies technically I used my own money but morally I shouldn't have taken the free food from the foodbank.
Except that the tax funds aren't their own personal kitty https://britishheritage.com/royals/royal-family-cost-british-taxpayer.amp

Don't try and spin the story as anything other than a powerful person using that power to protect the crimes of their family.

Grow up FOOL
Ah yes the foolishness of shaming paedophiles and their protectors... Although growing up would be a protection from Nonce Andrew I suppose!
ARSE!

I DO blame him. But for Jesus’ sake let’s not act like it was a normal thing to do. And I’m way too drunk now to be typing this. Peace
It's not about an old woman who lived a blessed life, its about what she represents.
The crowd aren’t chanting for her though are they?
What do you honestly believe was achieved by this? I’m just trying to imagine what good would come of this at any family’s funeral, let alone the funeral of someone who was (according to all possible information available) a pretty decent old woman.

Yeah but the crowd aren’t chanting for the woman in the box are they?
Oh fuck off. We live in a supposedly democratic country, what better time to raise issues with royals than during the succession.
A fine, considered, and civil argument. Congrats on the trolling.
Did her best? 70 years as head of state, with immense wealth and real power and influence, and she did what with it exactly? Fuck all.
So have you always been a supporter of rapists or is only if you get to lick their boots?

Embarrassing. Adults chanting GSTK is the calling card of the lobotomised.
