""Diamond Jubilee: A stripped-down Royal Family remodels itself for an age of austerity" - What utter tripe... A stripped down royal family, what we've got is an every expanding royal family costing the hard working people of the UK more and more money... Not only do we have the Liz's 'aunties, uncles and cousins' who live paid for by others, but we have the ever expanding range of children and grandchildren all with pompous titles and needing police protection etc. They're not nicked named "The Firm" for nothing... If we can't have a republic then let's have a proper stripped down royal family founded on proper constitutional basis not one their predecessors decided we should have. If anyone is representation of the 1% it's the Windsors." - Andy Davies
