#3 What *is* this mad obsession with telling people what to do? The Brits seem to have a horrible case of it.

#4 What about all those locally owned fish and chips emporia? A good serving of the usual fare has enough calories to jump-start a nuclear submarine.

Tastes like greasy cardboard, too. I think the great men of the British past explored and conquered a large part of the world just because they were looking for something decent to eat.

#5 Very simple: change the McaDonald name to mOdonald and he will recommend, no he will order the British to eat at it. It doesn't evne require to change the "golden arches" symbol.

#8 No worries! He and CPB can dine on tin meat (Bully beef) and biscuits. I'll take his portion of Big Mac's. Bloody "good" and "bad" whahahhaa, what would he and horse face know about that?

#9 Big Mac's in this country are revolting , perhaps the standard over in the USA is fine , but over here it aint . I would rather eat a bowl of gravel and rainwater. The 'food' is usually served by some little 'chav' with less IQ than the average garden snail .
That being said , Charlie , STFU .

#10 Nah, McNails, that's the standard here too.

IMHO, Charlie is fit to be king only if he does the following:

-Divests himself of all stock in Muslim controlled or collaborationist companies.
-Publicly repudiates his Islamophilic statements,
-Publicly burns his Arab costumes, and agrees to dress like a civilized Englishman rather than a Mohammedan cutthroat.
-Agrees to substitute "bloodthirsty saracen" for "Muslim" in all public statements.
-Performs due penance by personally carrying a cross from London to Bladon while dressed in sackcloth, covered in ashes, and flagellating himself with a cat-o'-nine-tails; there to lie prostrate before the grave of Winston Churchill for three days and three nights.
-Gets Camilla's teeth fixed and issues a public apology for letting her wear a weed in her hair at their wedding.

Failing that, there is Republic of Britain a mass movement that seeks to abolish the monarchy. According to them, "much of the population views the succession of Prince Charles with little enthusiasm, including many monarchists."
That is an understatement. Elizabeth II cannot live forever, though her mum (of sainted memory) gave it a good shot, and there are dark forebodings about the succession. Republic's website says that "Now is the time." They could be right.

What it is, is Socialism. That's what Socialism is all about: telling people what to do. They get a kick out of it.

On a serious note, why is it the only choice leftists are for is abortion? You can choose to kill your baby, but not to have a big mac. Insane.

#16 Isn't there some way to pass over this twit for succession to the throne? Seriously, Queen Elizabeth II may very well be that LAST queen of England at this rate.

#20 Britons, your input please. My mom is convinced that the Queen made a deal with Charles before he married Camilla: he could do it, on the condition that he renounces/abdicates in favor of Wills upon her death. I'm not so sure, given all his noise about changing his title to "Defender of Faiths," etc.

So, whaddya think -- any hope of such a behind-the-scenes deal?

#21 Heard the same theory many times - Chuck's lost popularity due to the Diana fiasco and the conversations with plants - the boys really are well liked by the populace as far as I can tell... and going to fight should boost this further.

#22 Andrew Stuttaford @ National Review:

If there's one thing that mitigates the annoyance of having to witness the antics of the current wave of hair-shirt prophets, it's the hours of harmless fun that their hypocrisy never fails to provide. Only recently, we've had Gore's house to condemn, Feinstein's jets to gawp at, and now, delightfully, we have Prince Charle's pies to savor:

Via the London Evening Standard, we learn that the prince who would ban McDonald's has a few guilty secrets of his own. It turns out that a Big Mac "contains fewer calories, fats and salt than some products in [Charles'] own organic Duchy Originals food range". The horror!

#23 "Chuck" would seem to be a particularly ill-favored name for a king of the Brits.

Which is the cause of more deaths around the world, Micky Ds or Islam?

Inbred Dhimmi. Now where the hell did I put my McChicken?

#26 Back in 2004 there was a staff member of the royal household who wanted to know what she needed to do to get a promotion. Charles' response:

What is wrong with people nowadays? Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far above their capabilities? . . . This is all to do with the learning culture in schools. It is a consequence of a child-centered education system which tells people they can become pop stars, high court judges or brilliant TV presenters . . .

This guy is the poster child for "didn't earn a damn thing in his entire life." He doesn't even understand the concept of "earning" -- whether one earns tangible acqusitions or a reputation. That you actually have to do something to be considered worthy. I am so curious to know what goes on in his head. Does he actually think he's qualified to sit in judgement of anything? Does he think his opinion matters more than others about things like the environment, art, architecture, nutrition, culture, etc -- all the things he's spoken out about?

This, Britain's next king. What a state the monarchy has gotten to. I do love Britain and hate to see his being such a laughing stock. He really needs a good bitch-slapping.

Oh, they've had their fair share of oddballs and worse in the past: George III, Richard III, and John come to mind. At least Chuck won't be able to wield any real power if he reigns.

#31 Has anyone ever eaten a "Wimpy Burger", the Brit's answer to McDonalds? I did - once. Even cow patties can't taste THAT bad. As for fish-n-chips, there was a great little place in the small village I lived in (Raunds, in Northhamptonshire) that had GREAT fish and chips. The best place to eat was the oriental restaurant run by a family from Hong Kong. Great food, and not terribly bad prices. Most British food, in my experience, is bland, tasteless, overcooked and not worth feeding to a starving Doberman. The only good restaurants I visited all served non-British food, and had non-British owners and cooks. Charles needs to get out more.

#33 Right. The best approach to nutrition is simply to ignore every single pronouncement on it by 'experts'. One minute they're twatting on about the health-giving properties of fish oils, then a few years later they change their mind and try to sell us some other crap instead. These people need to try getting jobs instead of telling others what to do all the time.
