It is with disappointment UK news papers have one front page picture of a little baby, one which belongs to the royal family which is is said will be worth one billion pounds by the time it is ten years old. One which is born with a silver spoon in its mouth and will never in it's lifetime experience living in poverty. Typically like a royal she may decide undertake a good cause, support some charity such as the anti landmine charity, she might speak to people who have lost family to land mines and be sympathetic, however she will not know what the life of the poor is like. Royalty in this day and age should not exist it has no place in modern day living and no connection with the real people of the UK. It is a travesty which continues to focus the issue of privilege and social status above anything else. It shows in a public manner that inequality and prejudice will always exist in the country it will always live on.
So why is this baby such a big thing? What makes her so special? In my mind as with all royalty there is nothing special about rich people who did nothing to get where they are. What is more pathetic is a country which kowtows to them as if they are special when they are not. They are nothing, they have added nothing to my life or done a thing to help me. They are stuffed so far up their own backsides they have never seen what is happening around them on the streets. They are the privileged few who never have to aspire to being where they are, just lay back and procreate the planet, so why the hell do we pay them taxes and why the hell do they own land and properties which in reality should belong to the people of the country.
Yes, another royal baby, wonderful, sounds like another parasitic flea on the back of a dog.

Too much of a Royal Baby
My normal radio choice has been put in disarray for contrary to belief there is too much of a good thing. It's a fault of the media going crazy over the birth of a baby, a royal baby, too royalty. Personally I don't give a damn about royalty so why should I have to endure vast amounts of news time on this non event. It certainly isn't because the entire British public want to hear about a royal baby. For the statistics of those who feel royalty has a place in the UK are worth looking at. In the Guardian 24th May 2012, of respondents to a survey on royalty, a total of 22 per cent said of English people said we'd be better off without them, whereas 69 per cent said we'd be worse off. These statistics also showed royal popularity had been at it's highest for the last 15 years. I've tried to pull up historical statistics on the royal popularity contest, but it is difficult. There are just too many web sites. However, 2012 was special, it was a jubilee year so the whole nation was under an obligation to be part of it. On jubilee day, I refused to watch the news or any TV, again that was another bad news day.
I find the figure of just 22 per cent holding an anti royalty feeling as overwhelmingly low. Also these surveys can be inconclusive. For example why did the 69 per cent think the UK would be better keeping the royal family? The biggest factor is because they feel it is worth world press coverage and advertising. It makes the rest of the world come to the UK with the misguided perception of kings and queens being wonderful traditional things. There's a romantic ethereal quality to them. They don't consider their inbreeding, and historically tyrannical behaviour towards their own subjects. However, it wasn't long ago when there was a national crisis with the public and with the royal family. Had it been done at the time of Princess Diana's death in 1997, popularity dropped like a stone. The queen knows this herself and the public got to a precipice of resentment turning to loathing and complete contempt. There was suggestions of Dianna about to announce her engagement and marriage to Dodi Fayed. Nobody knows for sure, but such an act would in itself of caused a lot of issues. He being of Islamic faith some conspiracy theorists suggest had a part to play. To have a Muslim vein to the royal family could of been just stretching the political correctness vein just a little far.
See! Already I know too much about the British royal family than I want. This anally retentive information has been forced on me through the media. I'd rather there were news programs about economic theory, or exposes of the real cost of politics in the UK. Royalty has no place in my life and were I able to expunge it from my memory by taking a royal memory erasing pill I would. They have no real function, all they do is sap money away from tax payers and live the golden life style. I am not a subject of them, I owe them nothing, they have done nothing for me other than peer out from the face of coins and notes. In short if I never hear, see or read another article about the royal family it will be too soon in my life.
