In a poll by JL Partners yesterday, after Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, 52% of Scots agree that the monarchy should be abolished with only 28% disagreeing. For the UK as a whole only 29% agreed with abolition and 50% disagreed.
Northern Ireland and London had 33% for abolition but still a majority for retention and all other parts of the UK were strongly opposed to abolition.

The purring down the telephone did it for me.
Prior to that would have accepted a Monarch as titular head of state.
No thanks.

Perhaps it is the company I keep but 52% seems very, very low.
Apart from the bigots very few people I know support a Monachy.

Yes, agreed but only 28% for them is good?

Around 20% could not give a monkey’s. So, omitting them it is approx 66/34 for abolition.

Scotland grew away from the Royal. People grew up.
The monarchy will not survive in its present form. Illegal evading tax, interfering in State matters, supporting illegal wars. Killing people. Racist, bigoted and misogynist. The Tory royals causing poverty. The head of State. The state of it. Breaking the Law with impunity. Keeping it secret under the Official Secrets Act.
The wake could be interesting. Will they turn up? Awkward.

Has anyone found the key to the cupboard
That The Royals have locked Andrew ( randy andy ) in yet.
Out of sight but not of mind
Epstein in America has over $ 1 billon frozen by the courts in reserve for damage claim payouts to the abused girls
Believe you or me the Yankee lawyers will stop at nothing to wing these monies their way in heavy % no win no fee game
Tis a dripping roast for them that no Royal or special relationship that can ever stop the roast from dripping
The only thing that matters in America is Money and they have no principles whatsoever

I’ve not taken the time to look at the tables, but I’d imagine support for the monarchy mirrors support for the Tories. Who are a minority party in Scotland, though their policies will still wreck our economy and health system. So it’s more than a pity that both are foisted on Scotland by English votes, it’s frankly criminal.

They are all half baked fruitcakes
Who wouldnt be having a life like that
Sure you get gold plated cutlery , bodyguards and servants but zero privacy
You cant go anywhere
You cant go to the pub
Or out for a meal
Or holiday on the beach with everyone else
You cant even pop out for a wander
No wonder the bodyguards become lovers theyre the only other people you see
Crazy lifestyle
Crazy people
Once tagged at birth your freedom is gone for the whole of your life thats why they wont give it up voluntarily
To give it up in their eyes would be lose the luxury and still have no anonymity or freedom, trapped forever, some may think harry is free of it but hes not hes only free of the other royals he hasnt gained freedom to roam

The Monarchy is now an English institution.
Titles; processions; procedures; fall de rals—all English.
Even the weans get dressed in England sports strips.
Charlie is “Prince of Scotland”! Ever see him using the title?
Let’s hope we are independent before the crowning of “King Billie”!
A name chosen deliberately to rouse the basest instincts in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Because the Royals don’t give a flying Ffoulkesakia about the carnage that will ensue outside England.
