Another drain on the taxpayer, they are no better than benefit scroungers. No doubt we will all be subject to months of media coverage of this non event. They''ll probably have the birth live on pay per view tv.

I see that the season of good will does not extend to the rabid, lunatic left wing.

How surprising.

I'm not so sure Mr Lacey, I would suggest that terms such as "benefit scroungers" and "drain on the taxpayer" are typical phrases used by those of a right wing persuasion.
.
If you're referring to the general anti-royal tone, I don't think left wingers have exclusivity on that point of view. Indeed, I consider myself to be "left wing" (if you want to use that term) but I consider the Royal Family do a lot of good for the country.

Fantastic news. Another king or queen in the making to ensure the republicans remain crushed.

Two countries that have embraced the news with enthusiasm are the USA and France. Why? They would love to have a monarch instead of a dodgy President.

The governments of the two countries with 'dodgy' Presidents sent congratulations as a matter of course. Why would other countries want another pack of scroungers leaching off the tax payer? when they already have elected persons doing it as the UK does?. One place where austerity measures should be implemented, the hand outs to these scroungers!. Cut all their money and make them earn a living, but lets be fair give Liz, Phil and the others that have reached pensionable age the state pension to live on.

Back again Porky, eh. I was referring to ordinary citizens interviewed on the streets by TV crews, not the deadbeats - Hollande and Obama - who run their countries (down).

So they interviewed the majority of the citizens, and didn't omit those with less favourable views? and why the Porky? google translate using the Italian language. I tell you something, I wish I knew it all, as you seem to.
