She said she loved the pageantry of it all, calling it a once in a lifetime thing.
As I said the other day, how long do people expect Chuck to live? It wouldn't be crazy for this shit to be done all over again in another dozen years.

Yeah god knows who.

This is why I can't stand the royals and all the stuff that surrounds. The national anthem sucks "God Save the King" yeah save that privileged wealthy fucker but no mention of the people. It's all such bullshit. With the masses all joining in just to have a party. Drives me nuts
One of the questions I like to ask history majors is whether they think of history as a garden to be tended because it nurtures us, or a prison that we study in order to escape. The monarchy is an example of why we should treat the past as a prison. Keeping around a pre-modern institution because of tradition and some perverse version of romanticism is absurdity blended with tragedy. Absolutely nothing positive about them, while plenty corrosive.
Agreed. I find the "English" the worst with this nonsense just accepting that's the way it has to be because it's always been that way. It's just so appalling.
I find it baffling.

One of my best friends from high school moved to the UK, married and had a kid, divorced but is still living there, got caught up in all this, which I found surprising. She was into punk as I was and had sort of railed against the establishment as most young kids do, but she was actually excited for the coronation. She said she loved the pageantry of it all, calling it a once in a lifetime thing. It almost sounded like she became a royalist while living over there. We were messaging and it was hard for me not to say something negative about it, but I managed to say something positive about the queen. Not Charles though. I won't say anything positive about that dingaling. :twitch:
They're all leeches as far as I'm concerned. They always have been and always will be. Andrew should be doing time for being a nonce. The rest are vampires with the masses offering their blood freely.
And don't forget Queenie bailed him out with our money.

I despise them all.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

This is truly shocking and what gives the whole thing such a bad rep imo. I mean, look at those marching skills. Utterly pathetic, looks like he's taking the piss to me. In the good old days, you'd get sent to the Tower for less.
