Anyone give a monkeys?

I do love the pomp but the undeserved privilege and class system that is underpinned by it all is pretty abhorrent.

Others celebrating?
Hilarious watching bbc saying how positive it all is when they’ve had no balance at all

I went to protest at the 2012 river show. We had secured a place that could hold thousands but the police only let in a few hundred despite the paperwork being done. No British media were there but plenty of foreign news outlets interviewing people.

As for this time around of course they put it in half term so no extra days off for the worship of Her Maj

It’s you patriotic duty to celebrate and be proud of the establishment you have

Couldn’t care less ,the money that been spent could of been divided up into each house hold around the country . Imagine how easier things would be if Liz had give us all 30 grand .

No, couldn't give a fuck about the royals and think it's a ridiculous institution

Country, yes. Queen, no.

Especially since she’s bailed out Andrew. Couldn’t really give a shit either way prior to that.

I've cut down my buddleia in celebration of the Queen. Might bake a cake later, and then go for a walk.

Maybe I'll play a spot of FIFA to honour her majesty.

I find it disgusting that we spend so much money on these privileged people when there are people who are destitute and homeless. I work in London and see people sleeping on the streets not far from where all this nonsense is happening.

Given the amount of shit Corbyn got for not singing the national anthem and instead standing respectfully, I'm not surprised he does.

Having a BBQ later to celebrate….

Yeah he’s got to try and straddle a middle ground where he can win back some of the patriotic brexit voters.

Sky Blue Pete · Jun 2, 2022

So BBC aren’t really being balanced then. Pretty much unanimous scathing on this bastion of the nations mood

What happens - do you have to waive the German flag until the last hour then get the Union Jack out?

That’s another public holiday in April but it’s the USA flag.

I live in Rugby and see that. I don’t think there’s a town or city in the country where there isn’t visibly people living on the street. Possibly never went away but I don’t recall it being this visible since the 70’s maybe into the 80’s in Rugby. The country is spiralling and we’re £1B on worshiping the most privileged by birth person that ever lived.

Do you reckon it’s 20% we’ll for it, 20% abhorred and 60 somewhere in the middle?

duffer · Jun 2, 2022

There are many, many things to question about this constitutional monarchy thing, not least of which is the lack of a proper Constitution - but at least the old girl has some sense of decency and public service.

That's considerably more than anyone in the current disgrace in Government can say.

Better a jubilee than a Happy Brexit Day, I suppose, though there are plenty of the hard of thinking who probably believe we're all celebrating both.

I wouldn't know actual, factual figures per say but would say its more than what we think do like the Queen than not, im not saying the whole monarchy either.
either way it's part of our history.

A lifetime of waving, eating banquets and living in palaces. A huge cheer any time you show your face anywhere, really you'd have to be a complete cretin like Charles/Harry/Andrew to mess it up. It's one of the few jobs where 'service' counts as living in immense privilege for no merit

duffer · Jun 2, 2022

The other thing I'd add, is that I'm not going to let the right claim patriotism as their own.

I love my country too, the difference between me and them is that I want it to work for everyone in it. At the moment the ones that need the most get the least, and vice versa.

Not surprising despite being abhorred by our class ridden society at its pinnacle with the privilege of her family the queen is something different

It will hardly change - William is equally as popular

SBT out of touch with public opinion reality shocker

Most recent poll on this went 61% to keep the monarchy, 24% for an elected head of state and 15% don't know. Support for the monarchy was proportional with age, unsurprisingly. Will be interesting to see how that changes as and when Charles takes over
