Royal baby Boy

[Hamlet]

Totally agree with UBT, Menthol - neither am I & I think I upset a few people in Uzumlu last night by stating my views on the birth especially when I refused to go online to find out the result, so be it! Gordon, somehow I don't think Mohammed is a very popular name with 'the firm' given the relationship they have with a certain Mr Fayed.

Congratulations to the happy couple      I have to say I find some of the comments on facebook and now some starting to appear on here very distasteful indeed.

Come on Des don't hide on this one what is that you find distasteful about any of the comments on this thread here on CBF??

Can't personally comment on any distasteful comments that might appear on Chimpbook, as i wear my non 'membership' of it as a badge of honour.

Well said UBT, and I do agree with your sentiments.

So, do we want President Cameron? or perhaps President Clegg or even worst President Blair?  For the people who don't want a Royal family, just what do we have in it's place?
I just heard that this new Royal Baby will boost the British economy by £240 million.

Even though I am sure that some people may think some of the comments on this post are very funny, I love the Royal family, and they are good for the country, one of the few positive things going on here at the moment, look at the worlds press gathered outside the hospital.  This new baby gives me and a lot of other people a nice warm feeling, that makes a change from all the negative stuff we read about every day.

Well I'm glad the little chap arrived safely (as do most babies), and I would rather read/hear good news than bad, but enough now, it only needs saying once!!

Oh yawn not the old President Blair myth again.  You don't need a President to replace the royal family, we already have a political system that is in part based upon a Parliamentary democracy, get rid of the Royal Family and the unelected House of Lords and the royal patronage that goes with that nonsense and then we can really claim to have a full parliamentary democracy.  As to the nonsense that this child will generate a boost to the british economy of £240 million, where did they get that figure from, and more particularly how will the child will boost the economy.  Heard the same nonsense spoken about the Olympics and the economic legacy it would leave, and no one really believes it any longer.

Not sure what you mean by saying that they are good for the country, or is that one of those things that people glibly say, but doesn't really stand up, but I can be persuaded by examples of the good that they are doing - whilst being paid by the tax payer.  I certainly do not think it is an indication of good that the world's press is in attendance at anything, let alone something related to the royals, there was enough of them around to make Diana Spencers life a bloody misery.

I don't blame them personally, but they are a very dysfunctional family, in much the same way as other families who have for generations lived on benefits.  Scrapping the royal family and the political power that goes with it, could be as good for them as it would be for the UK and its people.

Well I for one am really really happy for them! I hope all is well, just heard that they may be staying in hospital for longer, maybe tomorrow.
