The King’s Speech 2023

So the King has spoken and yet he still went on about God and shit. Fuck me, Charles, get with it - that God shit doesn’t wash with anyone anymore.

You mean.............there isn't a god, oh fuck no, that can't be true!!!

Seriously?????

Noel Gallagher did a concert just before Christmas in Liverpool and to wind the fuckers up he introduced the messiah and his god with a big picture of Pep on the screen behind him and told them booing was therapy and to let it out

Did he mention the 10 commandments?
Specifically the bit about not committing adultery?
Or the bit about rich people not entering the Kingdom of Heaven?
 
When an ant walks up to the front of your house & it encounters a brick wall, it sees a barrier. It does not have the brain to think, this is a house, humans live inside this brick wall, people are connected to the Internet beyond this wall.... Humans have a certain sized brain & ants have a certain sized brain. Do not kid yourself that you know everything, you might just be the ant...

I’m not his biggest fan, but can anybody that has made a mistake not give advice anymore?

It seems to be that if someone made a mistake 40 years ago that they can’t make any comment anymore.

Are the ants not better of dealing with ant things rather than bothering about what is beyond when it makes so little difference to them? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the ant worshipped the humans.

#off... Just saying
 
Thought (the religious bit notwithstanding) much of what he said was right (being kinder to each other, helping out those less fortunate, wishing for peace) but it was all brought into sharp relief by the drone shot of his massive fucking palace and grounds in central London. Talk about lack of self-awareness.

If he really wants to make a statement then give a serious chunk of his wealth away. He’ll still be wealthy afterwards - and what an example that set to other billionaires, who also have more than they could ever want, while people struggle to feed and heat themselves.

Only then could his speech actually mean anything.

Totally agree in relation to the speech content and flaunting of wealth.
I did like the brass section rendition of GSTK though. Made it sound less of a dirge than the normal arrangement.

No such commandment...

Some may argue that nos 8 & 10 "could" (at a stretch) cover that "sin". Not for me.

Plus; is being rich a sin in itself? Playing devil's advocate here. Take Joe Bloggs. All his life he's been kind to animals, donated to "charidee", did lots of voluntary work in his local community, gave up his seat on the bus to little old ladies, was a regular churchgoer etc etc; suddenly, one weekend, he wins a couple of million on the lottery. Is he now prohibited from getting through the pearly gates?
