Lol.

Absolute travesty. But “royalty” is a ridiculous concept anyway.

Strangely I won’t be following you or taking your advice.

It is now the only moral thing to do. (Prince) Andrew must now be fully investigated for crimes committed against young girls, including Virginia Giuffre.

Well, “we” elected Johnson and Farage & Reform are popular so we can’t say much other than question the quality of education and media here too!

“Head of OFWAT hear us say, Thames Water NO way!”

OFWAT is considering allowing Thames Water to break the rules and dump sewage in our rivers and seas for the next 15 years.

We are outside OFWAT HQ to demand they say NO!

Campaigners outside Thames Water HQ demanding they say no to Thames Water’s proposal to be allowed to dump sewage for the next 15 years.

Then he should have nothing to worry about and should have gone to the US to help them with enquiries then 🤷‍♀️ or go to his local police station now. 🤷‍♀️

Proves the concepts of “royalty” and “nobility”, are utter nonsense. Time for Andrew Windsor to be prosecuted.

(Prince) Andrew needs to be fully investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

Repost if you agree.

Reversing Right to Buy would be expensive, but it would provide immediate results and would pay dividends over time.

Reversing Right to Buy may sound radical. But it could fix the housing shortage

Acceptable in medieval times. Should be laughable now.

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 7h

It hasn’t, and never will be until we reform the House of Lords and get rid of the Monarchy. Based on antiquated nonsense.
However, your system seems extremely odd to outsiders.

It’s not as if any member of the RF shows any exceptional skills to justify their privilege.

Boycott all dairy

Perhaps the onus should be on men to behave better and police each other more.

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 21h

I agree

Andrew @andrewgowen.bsky.social · 22h

It’s time to have a head of state that doesn’t fit the 9th century profile.
We need a democratically elected head of state, answerable to the citizens and ideally not from a family that tolerates friends and supporters of a pedophile.

Shouldn’t still be up for discussion. He should also be charged.

My thoughts exactly.

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 23h

That is undeniable but if the perpetrator is a “Prince”, it’s bound to be harder.

Sorry, I don’t know. I’m not on X anymore. I saw this on Instagram. I think he believes, as I do, it’s time for monarchy to go.

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. I’ve told the new Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people first. Join me:https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-emma-reynolds-to-base-water-policy-on-facts-not-water-industry-fake-maths?source=bluesky

For much of the 1960s and 1970s, Prince Andrew was second in line to the throne and could - had tragedy struck - have become king three years ago.

Those who oppose a republic on the not entirely convincing grounds of "I don't want a President Farage/Blair etc" might do well to contemplate that one.
