I was fairly ambivalent until I became a dog owner and now I totally agree with you. We have to give our dog anti-anxiety medication so she can cope with all the bangs. And it’s not just one night - what with Divali, Halloween & Bonfire night, it lasts for weeks (and then starts again at New Year)

It’s more like the racism has flipped. Back in 1968 there was actually quite a bit of support for Powell amongst the public but the press & political establishment were firmly against him. Now, the press & politicians are more overtly racist than the public

Well into adulthood, my mate thought that tuna was the name for dolphin meat (like beef is cow meat & venison is deer meat) and that “dolphin friendly” on tins of tuna was the equivalent of free range on boxes of eggs

Why do people always assume we would adopt a US style system if we got rid of the monarchy? There’s plenty of other examples of other systems of elected heads of state which work perfectly well that we could adopt - eg Ireland, Germany, Finland etc

Even better to have an elected head of state that is separate from the political leadership - versions of this work perfectly well in Ireland, Germany, Finland etc.
There really is no justification for an hereditary head of state
