Royalty

I'm all for Ned Boulting's suggestion on Twitter that we do William and his heir at the same time, a 3 for 1 type deal to save money.

We are talking executions here?

Hopefully but suspect 'meh' will win out.

They are fucking delusional, must think its still medieval times and people need to respect them

I really don’t get it at all but then I look at my family - won’t have a word said against the royals (Harry and Meghan the exception, strangely quiet about Nonce Andrew) but the do read The Telegraph/Mail and vote Tory so there is that.

I am a huge disappointment to them (obviously not just in regard to the above)

Sounds like me. My brother is having a coronation BBQ and has invited my parents and loads of other people. My wife and I have booked a weekend away to avoid that and all of the other shite that is going on.

Neighbour just invited us to a street party - I know he's an old socialist and he says it's just an excuse to get neighbours together for a few drinks. OH wants to go because we've not been here long and it's an opportunity to meet people. I understand that, but if anyone mentions the royals, I know I'll rant, so I'm going out on my bike.

The other bit of the street, over the crossroads, have invited our bit of the street to a street party. 'that woman of the telly' lives on the other bit of the street, wonder if she will be there? Otherwise bike riding sounds delicious.

No-ones mentioned parties to me, thank fuck. I’m going climbing. If anyone mentions me swearing allegiance, I will swear, but not in the way they might hope.

I’ll be heading to the allotment. Peace and quiet

I think Celtic fans speak for me

And me!

I'm buying these and signing up to tinder, unless anyone on here is game.

David Dimbleby during the live broadcast of state funeral last year.

we do pageantry really, we also do hypocrisy really well too.

I really can’t be arsed about the coronation or the royal family.

The appeasement to offer us an extra bank holiday.

The feel good factor to celebrate in the midst of economic horror for many.

Couple that with the expectation that some will drink excessively for three solid days

When our NHS is in dire need of financial support for key workers

Minus points for not tagging the "you cunts" on the end of the chant

Fuck all the monarchy and Rangers 😂

The extra Bank Holiday is a kick in the teeth for the self-employed

Presumably many self employed can work it. The bins were emptied this morning so lots of regular employed people are working and there is a looks probably self employed builder working over the road.

Sure but many who don't have the option

Like, a lots.

The bsnk holiday is specific to certain people, not everyone.

The Frankie Boyle documentary on channel 4 is very good.

Spot on

I found myself making the odd 'oof' noise at some of the lines, this show surprised me by pulling zero punches. I guess the monarchy have remained largely untouchable in the media for so long and that's how I'm conditioned. Great line about Meghan Markle's funeral.

Today's episode of the bugle wasn't quite as oof but still had some pretty funny piss taking of all the bullshit.

Lol. That could be me apart from Express instead of Mail.
Were up there at the weekend so I disgusted myself by flicking through the papers. It's so, so bad. Quite a few topics now have to be avoided at family events.
