Coronation of King Charles 3rd

[woody1968]

Our obsession with what is in fact an obscenity ( the existence of a monarchy and all that goes with it ) is the proof that as nation we are stuck in a live version of Game of Thrones where dragons and wizards and dungeons exist. Laughable really.

Who elected him?

Luckily not the same people who elected the Conservatives!!!!

What/who would be your alternative at present? One of the ‘celebrities’ from I’m a Celebrity get me out of here’?
Or maybe you’d prefer one of the whatever they are on ‘Love Island’?

A politician maybe? Sunak? Johnson? Truss? Starmer? Blair?

EDIT: I am a neutral by the way. Love the pageantry etc but the Royal Family don’t impinge on my conscience very often. I’m more concerned about how people are going to manage going forward.

How about no alternative. Scrap the monarch, House of Lords, all the OBE MBE pish. The monarchy have been cunts for generations but choosing quiche as your official food to celebrate a momentous occasion you deserve the guillotine. Fucking quiche.

Scrap the House of Commons as well? They don’t do anything but push us further into poverty!

Mike Summerbee OBE dislikes this post

Track back? He’s only got one leg.

He's Dave Whelan, and he claims his £5

Joey Essex.

Not a royalist and not sure if this is thread for it but the story at the weekend of people having to swear allegiance was overblown and the reality is not how it was reported.

This thread on twitter explains.

We'll be paying for another one before the decades out.

Wait 75 years and 2 come at once...

I agree, it also for me highlights racist vibes. Colonial power and a reminder that those huge diamonds etc. were stolen from victims of colonialism. When roughly a quarter of the worlds landmass and population. Imperial subjects, by the million were controlled mostly through the barrel of an Enfield rifle. Exactly what Putin is doing now but on a much larger scale.

There's even a kind of tacit admission of that in the removal from the queen consort crown of the Koh-i-Noor diamond.

They've never met you, why would they give you a payout...? ;)

According to them I am one of their subjects - surely that counts ;-)

To be honest we'd probably be better off at the moment with an Eccles Blue Totalitarian regime (Big Sister?) but the problem is that whoever rocks up after you might not be the benevolent dictator we know you would be! :-)

It's quite a funny watch

I think i saw a minute or so at a friends house. That minute was enough to convince me it's morons on TV talking about other morons on TV.

Each to their own n' all that: )

She'd have the two minutes love for John Stones every morning and public executions for any players that fouled him or referees that dared award a foul against him.

*chuckles* my first act would be to make all football clubs give a full season card for £10 per season! I was going to say £5 but then we’d get all the JCLs.

 

[TFC]

I'm just happy they haven't postponed the football.

Shhhhh, I didn’t dare put that. I’d actually have those for anyone who dared to touch any City player and Flopp would be banned from football forever. ;-)

Even Charlie is not stupid enough to do that

It means if they spaff all over you and spill a bit on their trousers...

they'll send you the dry cleaning bill.
