Off to a good start with one day. Despite all the spaniards screaming for a republic. ”♫ Oh we do like the days of Franco“. Espana? Isn't that the place that just got knocked out of the World Cup? The place that's in recession? The place where corruption is endemic? An imperialist, colonialist place that can't read? And has a VERY selective history?

On a side note, it is great to see that some of the wealthiest people in the world (Qataris & others), feel that London is a safe place to invest billions long-term. Equally the Chinese have just rocked up with a small £14billion advance payment on even greater future investment in the UK.
Bet the new King of Spain would love to see the same for his beleagured land. No wonder he is begging the Catalonians not to disembark from the leaking hulk. I hope Spain can pull its finger out soon.

Hmmm, haven't heard any criticism of Juan Carlos or Felipe.
Why not?
Hypocrit.
To throw some light on Paulcedron. Unless my memory is faulty, he did say he had Irish ancestry from way back. There was/is a history of anti English hatred - in some ways justified- in these original immigrants that has been passed down the generations until it becomes credo with their great grand children.

“It could be seen in the USA in the Boston area where the IRA were being supported in their indiscriminate bombing campaign. ”
They did not support any bombing campaign.
They support the return of North Ireland to its real owner.
So North Ireland belongs to the Republic of Ireland, in the same way that Malvinas belongs to Argentina and Gibraltar belongs to Spain.

I remember those days, Clyde.
A family vacation to Cape Cod Mass. with N.I. friends, during “the Troubles ”.
Restaurants had a donation jar by the till, “for our Irish brothers”.
Overt soliciting for terrorists - at that time the bombings were at their peak.
I think our group had stronger Irish accents than anybody else I encountered down there.
Just like the “Paul's” of the world, repeating a mantra they don't understand, from a different world and a different time.

Germany friends with UK,
India friends with UK,
being simplistic here, but the past is the past and we can move forward with a positive will to get along.
If Paul wishes to perpetuate his prejudices it's because he wishes to do so, it's not relevant to the situation today.
Paul is accountable for his hate, and spiteful posts, whether he truly believes them or not.
It reflects not only on his education and upbringing, but his character and intelligence.
He can rightly expect criticism and disdain.

No one here knows if I am female or male. Gay/straight, black/white/asian or latino/a.
I have always been proud to say I am British born and have family/business/homes/ friends and contacts in UK and Venezuela. As well as having travelled widely in Latin America and the rest of the world.
Also that I have graduated from English and Latin American Universities.
I have always been open about that. Public knowledge.
Stevie occasionally accuses me of deserting one country or the other. Whilst I merely move between the two, as suits me. I unable to ' desert' either. It would be easier to shed my own skin.

Carry your martyr to your grave if it makes your feel better or it will improve the lives around you.
I think this was dealt with.
How many innocents were “kneecapped”, maimed, killed, in the name of Catholicism and Irish Freedom?
Should we continue to dwell in that morass.
How do you decide on whose behalf you will be righteously indignant?
What is Ireland to you, except an excuse to be holier than thou?
You were born long after the events happened. Your parents/parent, or their parents, abandoned that society for something better, elsewhere ( or so they thought), no longer contributors, not participants, except perhaps for harbouring old prejudices they passed onto you.
Not to mention, as you remind us, it was a different world 14,000 km's away.
Meanwhile, politics and history have moved on in Ireland.
The Celtic Tiger has changed things a bit - not the same place you romanticise about.
Here's one for you, a bit closer to home, that relates directly to you:
Injustice, racial discrimination, inhuman cruelty, theft, and degradation towards innocent women and children - in your backyard, by your friends and neighbours.

One would hope the Monarchy will lend stability to Spain, and a continuity beyond a series of governments, a National Identity and co-operation.
Our Constitutional Monarchy has worked well, a crisis recently averted in government by the Crown stepping in.
China had initiated a plan in 1908 to move the Emperor into the role of a Monarch along the lines of the British Constitutional Monarchy model.
Hard to believe, nowadays.
The USA has done well with its Republican model, though some on here would argue differently.
They seem to have done better than the fascist states - Germany Italy Spain Argentina. Argentina being the only one still following that path.
Do they never learn?
No.

Jun 22nd, 2014 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0oh, come off it, you little crybaby.
The subject is the Monarchy of Spain, King Felipe.
You took the opportunity for an all-out offensive on the British Royal Family.
Surely, even a dumkopf like you knows that will provoke a reaction.
An unfathomable diatribe from a young 'tween living in South America, certainly makes is wonder why.
Clyde made a very fair and impartial observation that you have commented on having an Irish connection, and have posted Anti- British comments on the past.
It was generously suggested that you were caught up in “a time warp” regarding Ireland.
Then you started with the name calling, the anti- Brit Gibraltar, Ireland, Malvinas, 'England is Evil', rant - yawn.
Then, the Conlon thing of 40 years ago, in the midst of Irish Terrorist bombing campaigns which you took the time to deny.
We get it - you don't like the English, and you feel any action against them is justified.
This is just your personal crusade niño,
the rest of the world has moved on,
the IRA and Irish politicians have backed down publicly, and no longer feel a “United Ireland” is worth spilling blood over.
The people of the South are free to live as they wish, Catholic, full partners in the EU.
The people of the North are free to live as wish too, Catholic or Protestant, part of the UK, part of the EU.
Both sides travel freely back and forth, associate as they wish.
In other words niño,
YOU ARE OFF-TOPIC.
Your prejudices are your own,
THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT,
They have no place here.
How do you feel about Felipe VI of Spain ?
I think the new king has excellent taste in motor cars as I mentioned @12.

Jun 24th, 2014 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0For the way you I am afraid you are mistaken and jumping to conclusions too quickly. I paid compliments to Troy on this occasion because it is on this thread the best commentator with the best oratory and arguments. It doesn’t mean I regularly agree with Troy or the “ British Colonialists” . In fact ,if you look some of the other post , you would see my attitude towards to Troy or the Brits has been much different. Nevertheless, I do have a lot of respect for a country which gave me the opportunity to learn about its culture and its traditions.
Same apply to my attitude towards to South Americans. I have seen what uncontrolled South American immigration have done to my country , Spain, and to be honest , I don’t like it. I have seen good honest people coming to Spain and doing their best to have an honest life but also I have seen hordes of council rats screwing the system and bringing with them the worst of the worst . Those are the “sudacas” which I really despise and I refer to.
Now coming back to original topic, I can see the benefits of having a monarchy mainly for the sense of security, tradition and specially stability which provides to a society. In times of troubles and despair people look for role figures to provide guidance and comfort. I really believe this is the main role of the Royal Families, to be a mirror for the society providing the bare values which identify a country. The main problem is when the society moves faster than the capacity for the monarchs to adopt to the new situations .
I believe in evolution no revolution

Is it also to do with geographical location or the people who live and work the land ?
This will lead to a dichotomy with totally divergent solutions.
I could fill this thread with reams of Irish history and still be able to prove nothing and all it would do is provoke is a visceral reaction from you.
You have been inculcated with a set of beliefs which you cannot change as it would mean you would have to question what is part of your core as a cognitive being.
