Get rid. I think us parading a diamond encrusted crown in its own chauffeur driven car to be placed on a golden throne whilst a member of the monarchy gives a speech about the financial difficulties f

Their very existence should be a constant source of embarrassment to the country. The fawning over an unbelievably privileged family because they are distant descendents of a very questionable family

Prime Minister Boris still sounds much better than President Boris

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.  🤢

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.

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.
