That’s presumably the last major royal event for some time - no royal weddings or jubilees for 20 years or so, Charles will be in his 90s by then anyway. Not sure where they really go from here in terms of keeping the public interested - hope for more Netflix specials from Harry, I suppose.

I know some people are anti monarchy and I appreciate they have a right to protest, but really what harm does a king do them? Yes they're privileged but so are lots of people. It costs a few quid and some are against that but probably paid more to go out of their way and be a nuisance. I don't like Eastenders or towie or lots of other trash, but I turn over, not sure why they can't do the same. Their choice but really strange unnecessary behaviour imo.

Well, they own the vast majority of land in this country, a ridiculous number of properties and they get money from the public purse. It's deeply unfair and when you hear a coronation speech talking about stopping injustice it's a bit of a joke. And the entire institution (here and elsewhere) pretty much boil down to personal ambition, greed and entitlement achieved through bloodshed somewhere down the line, based on some antiquated notion that the outcome must therefore be the will of God and therefore the victor has the divine right to rule.

Trouble is, I don't trust an alternative. Having a republic and a president is even scarier as that's an individual with a mandate. People might have voted for them but people can make shit choices for a variety of reasons. At least with our monarch they'd have to be downright stupid to even consider trying to exercise the rights they legally have

Even if the Crown lands were presented to the State I wouldn't trust it to not be sold off to a few rich people and ending up more like a set of feudal landlords.

And for what it's worth I don't mind Charles. Yes, he's clearly been totally privileged his entire life and is completely out of touch with even the moderately wealthy so he doesn't understand why people don't just do things due to low household budgets, but I think he's quite aware environmentally and he could do some good pushing that cause further.

We are all passionate about different things. In their case it’s the belief that the country should be ruled by someone based on something other than birth. If we are to respect those who are immensely obsessed with this privileged family, we can respect those who want an alternative enough to protest for it.

They certainly shouldn’t be arrested for it.

Personally, I think Liz's funeral was a much better episode, far more drama and pathos. This one seemed to drag a bit.

The writers are going to have to either get a bit more in about the brothers fighting, or bring Andrew back into the fold (promising start with him turning up in his formal robes though, shameless!).

Without a decent baddie or a bit of conflict, I can see this series tapering off...

It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. English football fans had been a menace and embarrassment for years, home and abroad. It wasn’t our result on the last day of the season that sent Sunderland down it was the culmination of results over the season. Hence you’ve gone full Sunderland. It wasn’t one event that got English clubs banned it was a pattern of behaviour over a period of time.

wow - what a strange take you have. England clubs were banned because Liverpool fans murdered Italians. if that didn’t happen. we would have been in Europe. how’s the saying go. Always the victims, it’s never their fault. The comparison of Sunderland is ridiculous.

lol - you keep making a fool of yourself. the whole ground booed the anthem yesterday. I genuinely don’t think I’ve come across a fan base as self righteous as Liverpool.

Were Liverpool fans markedly worse for hooliganism in the 80s than other English teams?

What on earth are you on about? What has this got to do with supporter points? Can you read without moving your lips? Does mummy have to help you with the big words?

Let's be honest, this place would be so much better without gobshites like you flapping your gums.

Thank God I can shut you up via the technology, I bet the poor bastard who has to sit next to you at the football wished you came with a mute button. And a bib to catch the dribble.

Better a fool than a bigot mate, though I get the sense you're going for a little from column A and a bit from column B.

Explain your masterful genius to us then. In what way is booing the anthem make someone "self righteous" (or a murderer)? This should be interesting.

It’s a historically accurate take. English football fans were the worst hooligans in the world at the time. It might have come to a head at Heysel but it was a long time coming. Maybe you’re too young to remember what it was like but I’m not. It got that bad in domestic English football that families stopped going, the government set up a “war cabinet” to deal with it, fans had to be caged in like animals, because large numbers were etc etc etc. it was wank and a national embarrassment.

You’re also looking at it the wrong way. The fact is if Heysel was an isolated incident English clubs wouldn’t have been banned. As it was Liverpool got an extra ban on top of the ban the rest of English clubs got. Initially they had an indefinite ban.

There’s also the small fact that going to watch a game now is a completely different experience to what it was in the 80’s. The ban from European football like it or not played a part in that. Yes it’s shit we lost out on European football but if something didn’t happen things were never going to change and they most certainly had to change.

You didn’t attend a football match until you were in your mid twenties Tony - the 80s passed you by
