The headline was about a royal being investigated for sex crimes at a royal residence.

Yes she is bound by the parliamentary rules that require that oath, in the past it also used to say : "on the true faith of a Christian" which excluded Jewish MPs.

Why should Royals have unaccountable privilege? Abolish the monarchy is replacing the King with someone elected not calling for a second Civil war or a Charles I style execution.

All politicians should be made to undergo a common sense assessment test and an undertaking to never use brain-numbing social media.

They should be positively vetted and emotionally intelligent regardless of educational history/achievement..

At the moment 99% would fail that test.

I was listening to this guy yesterday being interviewed on the radio khan something, I'll have to look him up. Anyways he had been following all of this rigged voting for decades. He said a lot, half of which I can't remember! Labour have been implicated far more with the Muslim vote than we thought. The recent vote rigging claims are the tip of the iceberg. Also something about Shabana Mahmood having two very different signatures. I don't trust Kemi Badenoch either. Her mother only came to the UK to give birth. No way did those two get to where they are today on merit. One was a scammer and the other a diversity hire.

Does she not have to swear allegiance to the king to get her MP salary?

She's just a moron, there's no point in taking her seriously or engaging with her points. They're not based on anything to deconstruct or argue with, there's just nothing there.

Yes I saw that about Mahmoud a few weeks ago apparently legal action will ensue for those that share the allegations , just proves we only see what they want us to see.

Yeah we’ve got a mouthpiece just like her in our jurisdiction not even an elected representative but loves to antagonise and bait, also on the government payroll as a peacekeeper

Isn’t the whole point of parliament to support the the monarchy and uphold the constitution? Seems a bit contradictory to be an abolitionist but swear allegiance at the same time just so you can take a wage, you’re either in or you’re out imo.

I’m not a fan of the monarchy myself so that’s not the issue I have with Zarah Sultana. It’s her constant delivery of these sloganistic one liners purely for attention and the desperate approval of a certain demographic of voters. Seeing as ‘Your Party’ appear to be somewhat dead in the water now, I’m actually quite surprised she’s not joined the Greens. Time yet, I suppose.

monga · May 23, 2026

I’m certainly not a royalist I’m only pointing out how shallow some politicians are when it comes to belief over ( that applies to many of them)

I keep getting Hannah the plumber insta feeds popping up. She really is a twat. Filming herself walking to ‘work’. How does she not feel a prat prancing along smirking into the camera with her hand under her chin and the caption states that the establishment are terrified of her

. I’m so embarrassed for this country that tits like that are elected by the public

Ekathrina · May 23, 2026

Terrified of what? Up to now all she’s done is gone on about MP’s smelling of alcohol. She’s a bit of a one trick pony thus far.

The Greens are all insane.

They should also receive a thorough psychiatric assessment to check for personality disorders and addiction issues to include the internet and vulnerability to security breeches to gain supporters

Baffling she turned out to be dodgy when she appears to have had the seal of approval from a loser who ate a book during an interview.

Well we have heard it all now, Keir Starmer has written to TNT to ask them to broadcast the Champions League final free to air. Ohhh yes, Arsenal are playing.

"The Champions League is the biggest club football competition in the world and rightly means a lot to fans in this country – the home of football. I am a firm believer that the final of this competition should remain free to watch, whether Arsenal have made it or not.

Obviously, I want as many fellow fans as possible to be able to watch our team in this historic final for the first time in 20 years. However, this is bigger than that'

Hard-working people should not have to worry about forking out for a subscription to watch a game of this magnitude"

It is £4.99 to pay to TNT to watch it. Perhaps the 5% that people will save to go to amusements parks etc could be spent on this, if they so wanted to see it.

All the ' hard working people', are these the same hard working people who his government is fleecing left, right and centre?

We have had the Championship play-off this afternoon, worth £2million to the club that gains promotion. That is an important match for their fans too, same as the Aton Villa fans for the Europa Cup this week, which they won and shown on TNT. He didn't put the call or letter in to Sky/TNT for those matches. Why not? Is it because the only team that matters is his team?

Sometimes I believe I am living in a different universe to these politicians. They refuse to read the room.
