Excuse me??? my question was directed implicitly to Jonksy, please learn Forum protocol before butting in uninvitedly  nonono:
We are allowed to butt in, and anyway I've answered your question and saved you an emotional ordeal involving the EUSSR and The Fourth Reich etc.
As per usual you answered nothing...And maybe you would like to comment on why Belgium refused to supply the UK with ammo and we had to procure it from the Dutch and lets us not even mention the fact that the French helped Argentina as you think the sun shines out of the EUSSR's rectum... :facepalm:

Perhaps the time has come round again for a "reformation"?
With better support than Outers got in the referendum ? I'm surprised at your post, unless your suggestion is based upon the point made in my post ?
It was a "tongue in cheek" remark for goodness sake. 8-)

Accepting the Idea that an Aristocracy should have any control in a democracy is a contradiction. Get rid of them and replace the system by a Meritocracy.
But what if the electorate democratically support having our monarchy?

And given a referendum on the issue do you really doubt that's what they'd support
The last I heard the Monarchy had a 60% plus of the population in their favour.

When living in Liverpool for over 60years I worked with, drank with, holidayed with, been in football teams with many Catholics, I can say there is an element of Catholics, definitely not all, who are against the Monarchy on religious grounds, nothing to do with any insinuations over politics or aristocracy.
I think it is not just Catholics that have reservations about the origins of the royal link through the Church of England, to it's founder Henry VIII, and his daughter Elizabeth I.

Yes, but reservations are something not uncommon throughout the inherited positions held, and ownership of land, titles and religious lineage of all leading religions across let's say Europe, all of which have a questionable history.

Religion itself is an emotionally learnt belief in the unprovable existence of a God.

Hmmn, depends on your definitions of 'unprovable' - there are plenty of 'rational and logical' arguments and 'proofs' that lean heavily towards there being a 'deity'.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepall of which
One should see there transitional stages between the inorganic and the organic in the natural world around us but we don't. Matter here on Earth is either one or the other and there are no "in-between" stages lying about. Organic matter is many orders of magnitude more organized and structurally complex than the inorganic and complexity like that doesn't just sort of happen without some stages leading up to it. Perhaps, the physical laws around this neighbourhood have changed since life began here (and it began when the Earth was very young, apparently) and the intermediate stages are no longer possible but you'd think that it would make life non-viable as well, if that were so. I suppose that life may have come about in a non-terrestrial environment ... nebular gas clouds or the atmosphere of a gas giant where fluids can mix and intermingle more freely in a high energy environment. Whatever. Life does not appear to come from here, anyway. With the lack of any meaningful scientific data of how life started to appear in all of it's chemical complexity within the first half billion years of the Earth's formation, cataclysmic "creation" is as good a theory as any other. This Unverse itsself appears to have come about in cataclysmic creation.
Worth a read.

I will gladly make a logical connection between the French and the existence of God for you if you'd just buy me a big bottle of good Armanac.

It was early. I wasn't quite awake.

I should have posted it in French but think of the havoc and mayhem such rule-trashing audacity would have generated.

The French would approve.

Fat chance of that CC, the French don't even approve of themselves, don't believe me?, ask Sarkozy.

I grew up in Quebec surrounded by Quebecers but they are like the French of 300 years ago. There are a few " frozen in time" colonial cultures in the America's.

I once saw a scientist on the Royal Institute Christmas Lectures claim what we already know 95% of all there is to know.

One thing is for sure. He must be one piss-poor scientist if he thinks that there is no further need for thoery or experimentation because the answers are already known. If this person is typical of the me!bership of the Royal Society, we can all safely ignore them.

p.s.Cut off their funding. They are obviously a sham.

Logical in this case is likely to be the best explanations humans and the French ;-) can up with in the absence of proof positive.

I would think he embarrassed many members of the Society.
