Please explain to us in words that a small child would understand why one member of the species Homo sapiens sapiens should bow and scrape before another member of the same species because of an accident of birth.

Simply put, RESPECT.

 

The same reason why subordinates call me 'Sir' and salute, the same reason why I call some 'Sir' and salute them.

Respect goes a long long way,

Ooooooh huge your so powerful and have some land by the sounds of it ,i may come over and become your vassal and provide fealty by diligently detecting on your said realm ,i have dismissed the wife and am now booking a chariot to be with your powerfulness!

 

Joking aside (yes i was the mrs is cremating my porridge as i type) are you sure saluting is really respect when theres a punishment for not doing it?

Rather than what you presume perhaps the underling is saluting on the outside and thinking go **** yourself on the inside?

 

Respectfully yours Johnathan (just incase hes a high up rozzer with a vengeance streak)

 

My idea of respect is even if you dont like someone your pleasent to them despite what they are or do ,i certainly wouldnt shout at vicar despite the crap they spout nor a moslem for believing a different form of it ,i am this very after noon going to visit a nest of them so you could call it in this case a vested interest to be nice but outside of their beliefs they seem ok ,not had one kill me yet

Is it respect, or just protocol, HV?

I'm not a military person, but I thought that the salute was for the uniform, not the person. Do you have to salute a superior ranked person in civvies?

I assume it's the same for the Royals, it's their title that gets the respect, more than the person.

During the 70s/early 80s, I worked for a Knight of the realm, and Thatcher supporter at that. I disliked the person, and certainly didn't respect him, or the reason he got his title, I never once called him Sir during our regular works meetings. He hadn't earned my respect in any way, so I was polite, and spoke to him the same as I did any manager, including telling him when he was wrong. The staff under him seemed more concerned than he did, which in a twisted kind of way, eventually earned a kind of respect for him . But I still never called him Sir!

Labour, the party of the working 'person', appears to have made gains due to the votes of people who have never worked, and those who don't intend to work.

I would argue that Labour are now actively working against the interests of their traditional blue collar base.

Globalism and open borders don't benefit low paid workers because outsourcing and the importation of foreign workers put them out of work.

Multiculturalism doesn't benefit low paid workers because they have little choice but to live among people who have the ethical and social values of downtown Mogadishu or Mosel and their kids don't get a decent education because all the resources go on kids who turn up for school unable to speak the language.

That's complete bullshit .

 

What just might be happening is people realise under this propped up government worry we might have no NHS in a few years time and living standards under this propped up government have crashed in real terms in the last 7 years and NOW want change .

And how can labour prove they wont do the same as they did when they were in power and use more PFI to cripple the NHS budget?

Perhaps people are worried but perhaps they are more worried labour may scrape in again?

Labour brought on this crash in real terms by leaving power with huge depts so austerity was forced on us to claw some money back?

 

"Labour should take responsibility for resolving the mess left behind by private finance initiative (PFI) deals used to fund the building of hospitals under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown"

That's your opinion Chesters so why had dept reached £1900 billion since labour lost power when it was 700 billion in 2010 .

 

And not only that by 2020 if the tories keep the same borrowing levels up they will have borrowed more than all the labour governments combined .
