Coronation

[duke63]

Are they joking? Swear allegiance to a family of misfits and retards and perverts? if they lived on a council estate, the social services would have taken their kids off them..

Its time this nonsense was dissolved.

The order of service will read: "All who so desire, in the Abbey, and elsewhere, say together: I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God."

Yeah, nah... I'm good thanks

There is increased public momentum for Australia to become a republic since Lizzy died

A lot more countries will go Republic over the next few years

I'm sure that Vlad Putin & Xi Jinping will both assist in that progression, if they are able.

I think Charles will be the last of the 'traditional' monarchs....William, whenever his time comes, will have a much more low-key role, if any.

I am looking forward to watching it and raising a glass to the new King

Pretty much sums up most of my feelings towards the monarchy.

There is a very good reason most of the rest of the world got rid of their kings and queens. Quite how we are one of the few with one is beyond me.

Looks like it will piss down with rain all day on Saturday (as it did for the Queen’s coronation.). Strikes me that’s God’s way of showing his contempt on the whole charade.

Apparently 43 countries around the globe currently have a monarch (out of @195)....so definitely a minority, but certainly not just a "few"

Likewise, I tend to agree with pretty much all the arguments he offered.

Fwiw I don't have any great issue with Chaz' himself. We are going to have a monarch hoisted upon us anyway, so having someone who has done a decent length of apprenticeship, who is environmentally orientated, and who is old enough to be less likely to have aspirations towards re-enacting the sort of civil upheavals under the reign of his namesake.

Love it!!!

Jess is a bit of a royalist and I showed her that with pleasure

It's fake.

.....The lovable joker, a Brummie who goes by the name "Foka Wolf", alters images posted online using Photoshop Adobe, then passes them off as being legit.

[Kwacky]

Foka wolf is an actual person who does actual art. He did that in the Prince of Wales pub in Moseley. My mate, who does the promotion work for the pub, took the photo.

It's 100% real.

[Kwacky]

Let me know if you want any more proof

.....I looked at that & took the whole thing as being a prank. I must've read it wrong.

Charlie is having investigations for cancer. They've not said what type of cancer he's got.

[duke63]

The NHS is on the brink of collapse yet and over privileged head of State having cancer and receiving immediate treatment and looking foward to a full recovery is headline news.

It beggars belief how weak and feeble British people are when it comes to standing up for their own rights but happy to cowtoe to the hierarchy governing them.

[D41]

I can't imagine any country in the world where the head of state receiving a cancer diagnosis would not make the headlines, to be perfectly honest with you.
