Nothing against them personally but it's time to fuck them off entirely. They sit right at the top of the corrupt class system that's at the heart of so much that is wrong with this fucking place. Legitimising the notion that some people are just better than others because of who their parents are. This country needs to fucking grow up and stop living in the past.
I hate the whole spectacle. For years the argument for keeping them that I hear the most is that it’s great for tourism. I don’t know that tourism would be hugely impacted if they didn’t exist in the present, but even if they do bring in tourists to specifically experience some kind of royal pomp and ceremony, surely we are long past believing that money trickles down in this country? I don’t care if some rich people make money for rich people, and that’s why we all pay some insanely high security bill to guard a man who is born into ridiculous wealth.
Did anyone see this
Jack Monroe’s cheaper coronation quiche for the Big Help OutRecipes costed that way are BS anyway, but the ridiculousness of making a budget 41p per head meal because nobody can afford to eat, in celebration of a man getting a solid gold hat to remind us that he was just ‘born better’ than us is… something.
