I’d love to attending loads of events and spend all four days toasting Madge but alas not to be.
This’ll never be repeated and I actually think we should’ve made MORE of this as a country than I feel we have. Happy to have seen a bit of todays stuff around Hyde Park (post trooping of the colour) by default due to travelling back from an appointment up there. Also buzzed up to see the Red Arroogo overhead.
Hoping for decent weather next 3 days so festivities all go off well. I’m hoping to show up at our street party, especially as I helped a bit to organise it!
Cheers to HRH
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
Nope. Fill in your own rant here. I just deleted mine.
4.5m kids in poverty in these countries of ours. 2.5m people using foodbanks. Old ladies riding buses to save on heating. I call this nationalist party shameless, and I wouldn't cross the street to p*ss on a member of the Royal Family if they were on fire.
Enjoy the long weekend, all.

So 4.5m kids out of poverty, no need for food banks, old ladies not needing to save on heating and all we have to do is get rid of the monarchy.
Not for me. Nothing against them, but all this we look up to them for moral guidance shite is annoying. I just think of them as tourist attractions really. Oh and they are good for the odd Bank Holiday.
The sooner all of this huge extended family are gathered up and put on what is laughingly known as the royal train or royal yacht or royal bloody plane and dispatched to a galaxy far, far away the bloody better.
They are obscene and cringeworthy, never mind though eh? all you royalist's keep bowing and curtsying if It makes you feel good.
Jubilee my arse-get f ucked.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

‘morbid curiosity about where this is all going’
I am absolutely against any form of monarchy. Its history, including in this country, is just a list of oppression, appropriation, war and privilege. That it exists in the 21st century is utterly ludicrous. Future generations will look back in disbelief that we allowed it to continue for so long.
I will wait for her 80th year on the throne before I put the flags out.While I don’t have a problem with the immediate royal family,I do have a problem with some muppet owning 1700 acres of the UK because their ancestors decided to favour one side in a battle fought centuries ago. I’m ok with self made millionaires,within reason,but not the privileged elite who have lived off the backs of their serfs for over a 1000 years. Bring on the revolution.
For a supposedly developed and forward-thinking country, which is what we try to claim, that prides itself on everyone supposedly being equal (yeah right, I know) having a royal family playing by a different set of rules rather flies in the face of this. In this day and age there is no place for the royal family, they should be abolished and hopefully will be when the queen dies.
In june(ish) of 1981while exiting Selfridge on my lunch break I was accosted by some or other journalist collecting sound bites on the upcoming marriage of Chuck and Di. I lied and said that I was so swept away by the patriotism surging around the country, and that the dizzying heights of my euphoria caused me to purchase a memorial tea towel. He ignored me and moved on to some one else. I no longer live in the UK.

I was in Florida when the wedding was on in 1981,and the yanks lapped it all up.I went back in April the following year and the Falklands war broke out while I was there.Anything to avoid conscription over here.
In 1977 I was more interested in the sex pistols but 45 years on I fully appreciate our Monarchy.
Why? Because we can all guess the alternative. Some on here would love it but do you really think we need a President Blair, Johnson or Khan, because that’s what we’d get in it’s place, another layer of bloody politics.
Anyway, got to get away, the son in law has set up the beer tent for the street party and I’m going to get pissed.
