Lots of anti irish/Catholic sentiment in this thread ..hardly surprising when we live in a country where a Roman Catholic is excluded from succession to the British throne .

You make a good point. Only one candidate IMHO. Would have made a feckin’ brilliant King William.

As for rebels songs in Ireland? Walk into any pub playing live music on a Saturday night. Usually they're not singing Coldplay.

I like the Irish. I now like them even more.

We are all excluded from succession to the British throne; atheists, Scots, Presbyterians, Welsh, Methodists, English, Episcopalians, Shetlanders, Jews and on and on the list goes for those not in the 'royal' bloodline.  So sorry to burst your wee grievance bubble but we are all together in a pretty big boat in this one........

Tbf...if someone from the EBC had said merrily 'and here they are going past the Duke of Cumberland's house, who cleared the Highlanders out of Scotland', I'd have been ****ing raging. 

As much as I was when that prize plum faux historian gadgie talked about the Clearances being an 'emigration' like it was a holiday...

Parliament, under the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, also laid down various conditions which the Sovereign must meet. A Roman Catholic is specifically excluded from succession to the throne. https://www.royal.uk/succession

no mention of the rest

Aw geez peace. Anyway we're talking about a medieval feudal institution, with a long sorry history of usurpation, Machiavellian back-stabbing and political assassinations based on who follows the right doctrine concerning a fairytale of an imaginary puppet-master who lives in the clouds. Would you really want to be associated with such a shower in reality? In 2022? Enough to get your panties wet on here?

It's reserved for blue bloods which 99.999% of the population of these isles do no fit into. The fact the establishment at the time would invite and welcome a Dutch coup, rebrand it as a Glorious Revolution then approach mad German aristocracy to get involved with the two only provisos that they were tenuous linked nobility and protestant (probably Lutheran) was enough.

No I don't and if the fact that 99.9% of the populace are excluded from any chance of being head of state is not something you agree with or understand then the 'shite' , as you put it is all with you, sir.

There isn't a piece of paper big enough to list the rest but if you think only Catholics cannot ascend the 'throne' fine.

As a way to deflect from the extremes of the thread I’ve got a question for all the over-35 posters:

In 1997 when Princess Diana died what odds do you think you would have got at the bookies that Rangers would end up dying before the Queen?

Rightly or wrongly (I'm not a monarchist but I'm not getting involved in the rights and wrongs), traditionally the monarch is the head of the Church of England so it sort of goes without saying they have to be C of E. It's a bit like saying the Pope has to be Catholic.

The rules were no doubt written when they wouldn't have considered any other religion so I assume that's why only Roman Catholics are specifically excluded.
