First news alert I got said it was the 5th so would have been. Bloody royals not even letting us have an extra day piss up. 
 

Do you and other Saturday workers get the time off?

The whole Harry thing is extremely tiresome. I honestly could not give a flying fuck.

Some good news. The coronation is going to be the beginning of May.

some good news, my birthday is a bank holiday 😄

I have a very neutral stance when it comes to the monarchy, don’t love them or hate them but right now I’m already close to the limit of how much flag shagging is going on.

I avoid social media a lot of the time anyway but I’ve completely turned it all off now. There’s only so many pictures of crocheted post box toppers that I can stomach.  🤢

we need the Bolshevik / Russian solution to monarchy.

That coronation was just very weird. I actually quite liked it, a surreal mix of modern multifaith stuff, loads of old school protestant shit, and weird stuff from some old world. Totally ridiculous that this is the ceremony for our new head of state, but we're a ridiculous country these days.

[steviewevie]

but what keeps me from being a total 100% republican is seeing the old PMs, especially Bozza Johnson...could we have a c**t like him as our head of state?

I’m not in the slightest bit interested, but happy for those who like this sort of stuff to keep it.

It's not either or though is it?

trying to get my head round either or though...

I mean, yes, we don't have to have Johnson as president...but I could just imagine populists standing to be president..someone like Johnson or Farage, our very own Trump and winning it...and presidential elections would just feed into never ending culture war shite. So, I think I'm probably about 70% republican, so he is 70% not my king.

Anyway, they're not going away any time soon. Maybe they will downgrade and become more like royals in other countries, but I doubt that too. They're kind of the only thing we're known globally for these days. They're our Hollywood and Disney. That thing yesterday was very odd, wish I hadn't watched it really..feel like I'm living in some weird masonic/disneypark cult.

Just a 45% pay rise for Charles then. This country is a parody of itself sometimes.

The UK Monarchy embodies tradition and continuity while also serving as a symbol of national unity and identity.

Naaaaah. It embodies privilege and servitude for anyone stupid enough to bow to it. Off with their heads!

it got rich  from slavery and murder and we still pay for them to live it up (the same people who are happy to fund the monarchy, hates to help a fellow human who is down on their luck).
