Why no royals in fast jets?

This the latest of several posts in which you have expressed your hostility towards the Royal Family.
A goodly proportion of posters on here have served with pride in the ROYAL Navy and the ROYAL Air Force. Some of us even hold the QUEEN's commission and regard it as something more than a meaningless piece of paper.
You've more than made your point so give it a rest for a while, eh?

HeathrowHarry,
Are (or were you ever) one of the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, or one of the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground, from any Army, Navy or Air Force anywhere?

Can't argue his point though, people get used to change very quickly even though the change might be thought unbearable before it happens.
I'm not by the way making a comment on royalty here, I'm in favour of Her Maj being head of state.

FODPlod: Not just here but all over the place does Heathrow Harry spread his stinking "online flatulence".
He also wishes to see Scotland independent and no doubt wishes Wales to become a Republic!
We just have to accept that there's no accounting for some people's appreciation of what is valuable - and what is not.
Our Monarchy (imperfect as it is) remains one of the most effective cohesive agents in our increasingly fractured society. Our admiration of them is for the very most part, us as a people (Britons) having faith in ourselves and our future.
But try and explain this to a socialist republican!
God save the Queen!

Gentlemen, gentlemen
Really - I seem to have touched a sore spot..................
I presume you are all subjects whereas some of us prefer to be citizens.
Re Royalty, like religion, I find other people's belief in the mystic impossible to understand so I try and give it a wide berth

On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies became either a British Citizen, British Dependent Territories Citizen or British Overseas Citizen.
Use of the term British subject was discontinued for all persons who fell into these categories, or who had a national citizenship of any other part of the Commonwealth. The category of British subjects now includes only those people formerly known as British subjects without citizenship and people born in Ireland before 1949.

And if it means being a "citizen" under a political elite (and I use that word cautiously) then 'subject', please!

Arguing with a republican or a liberal is like playing chess with a pigeon.
However good your argument, eventually they'll climb on the board and sh@t everywhere...
I was selected for RAF pilot, but failed the medical on eyesight.
God save the queen !
