A complete waste of taxpayers money that could have been spent on nurses, teachers and other public servants many of whom have to rely on food banks!

Luckily just a normal, pleasant Saturday in Portugal.

‘Greg’, if you watched the coronation, the thousands of people that attended and the millions that watched would show you are in a very small minority. The people of the UK clearly are proud of their history and monarchy. Long Live The King.

Sorry JG, had far better things to do than watch that grotesque event! Data collected for the annual British Social Attitudes survey shows the number of people who say the monarchy is “important” has fallen to 29%, from 38% in 2022.

History shows that people follow and spectate Anything - Public Hangings, Adolf Hitler, lions eating Gladiators, Women Herbalists burnt on fires.......endless.
85% of population are Followers - that does not indicate they are right!
Do think Charles would swear an allegiance to your family?
King's and Queens have had their day. Or do you prefer they fly into Space with Elon in Thee Royal Space Ship?
