The British Monarchy

And now they announce the Coronation Quiche! Suppose it’s better than Charles paying for his own Coronation.
 
The monarchy is dying on its feet. The traditional reason to have a monarch (in modern times) was that they 'united the nation.' That is no longer true*, and in fact, I would say they actively divide it.

* It probably was in the 1950s. Maybe as late as the 80s.

Sure there will be crowds watching. There are crowds wherever Flying Scotsman is put on a train. So what? Most people are at best, indifferent. I honestly could not give a shit, I just think the so-called royals are a complete waste of resources. They're just a random family, picked by chance to be treated as demigods. It might have made sense in 1323, but it definitely doesn't in 2023.

BTW one of the polls that I saw today said that 70% of blokes are not interested. 70%!
If old jug ears was getting crowned in my back garden I would probably just shut the curtains :-)
