The British Monarchy

BrianW said:
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%!

Why can't they just have a do in a pub function room to celebrate like everyone else?

Church, function room, grub and DJ. Say that's around 2 grand of taxpayers money spent rather than hundreds of millions. And who wouldn't want to watch William and Harry having a scrap in the car park after they've both stellered up?

For that budget they could get a decent chilli con carne and garlic baguette combo. Paper plates. Lou Bega on the karaoke. Christ, if I wasn’t such a rabid, heretical Roundhead I’d be first in the queue.
 
I was very much an admirer of the queen. Not so much the principles of monarchy, but i think its fair to say that she dedicated her life to the concept of being queen and did a good job.
Cant be arsed with charles and this coronation , no interest at all. Inlike that he seems to be trying to slim lime the monarchy but its not for me anymore
