The Royals - the Commonwealth

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Ok, we're done with Jimmy Carr, Joe Rogan and Will Smith. Today's official two minutes of hate on airstrip one is to be directed at the royal family. How exciting.

Did it cross your mind that they didn't want to feed the UK anti-Meghan media storm on this of all days? And the " oh the boy's aren't getting along again " media bollocks?

No - he should have sorted things out well ahead of this.

Harry should be king, the only decent royal alive.

I'd happily accept Harry being King mainly because of the type of person who are opposed to him and his wife.

We should probably be hoping for a monarch that doesn't annoy half the population if we want a happy country. Sadly, as with so many other debates the one around the monarchy has become the prevail of polarised idiots - might as well be a twitter poll or an episode of big brother.

I don't care enough about it all tbh, was just filling in time waiting for my haircut. :-)

There's nothing dystopian about actions having consequences, there's nothing new or modern to it. The only difference is 30 years ago if some DJ spouted a load of racist crap and vaccine conspiracies, or some twat assaulted someone on stage everyone would be in agreement that it wasn't OK, whereas today people feel the urge to defend them just to be different and feel they're going against the grain.

This whole Andrew thing has been a spectacular own goal really, and shows it's circling the drain as an institution.

The Palace very transparently put it out there that Andrew was going to be essentially exiled from public life because he obviously raped Epstein's sex slave, and now just a few days after a Caribbean Royal Tour is met by 2/3 countries announcing they're deposing the queen as head of state, he's front and centre of the first Royal event in a year.

Abotu a year ago Hilary Mantel was on radio 4 and said William will be the last monarch. It was a convincing argument then, and everything that's happened since has made it look more and more prescient.
