It makes me rather sad.
I do not mind the upper classes doing it. It sort of tradition. Such as parlemt with all the rules of how to walk in, bow to the chair, sit with your feet behind the lines and so on.
Thats not somthing I care about.
What makes me sad is when I see the public doing it. Little girls bowing down to strangers. Strangers who simply live in large houses, with servants, and lots of cash, just due to birth/family conections.
There are old ladies right now sat in front of a low power fire, in fear of the bill. Sat cold. Eating cheap food. Worried how they can afford to live. People who have gone to war for this country or indeed worked in the UK while being bombed.
Yet we have these select few who can live in luxery. And when the money runs out, they get another lot of cash from the goverment.
Yet people got upset over mp's claiming 20p for a chocolate bar. Yet, seem happy for these people to be getting millions. Not to mention the bill on top for running costs (ie security).
On Friday they anounced they were having to close old peoples homes, yet on the same day they say the security alone for the wedding could be £80 million.
But yes it makes me sad when I see little girls bow down to them. It makes me sad as to me that says that little girl must feel less than the queen or other member of thar royal family.
For any Royal lovers in the uk. Let me ask you this. If need be would you put your life on the line for them. Would you go to war for them. Would you exchange your life and families life for theres (say they were held by terrists, would you say take me and my family as I am worthless compaired to a meber of the royal family). After all being a royal suporter, thats what your suposed to do. Its what people have done for years in the uk. People have died for them. So if you would not die for them, are you realy a suporter of them?
