Coronation Cobblers And Nonsense

[Taunton Blue Genie]

So colonization, subjugation of others, erasing their culture, theft of their property, and genocide is all OK, because it's "traditional".

I caught a bit of BBC yesterday and someone said the whole world is watching. However, it's not exactly the talk of the village here in the snowy environs of the Kyrgystani mountains.

[Pembroke blue]

It's a huge historical event and I will watch a good chunk of it. But it is preposterous that it is on both BBC1 and BBC2

The propaganda on bbc towards royals puts North Korea to shame the younger generation are realising to get rid not just the royals but all the hangers on as well
France had the right idea fair play

[Jordi Culé]

Just glanced at tomorrow's TV
Over 7 hours on BBC1 AND BBC2 (probably exactly the same pics and commentary)
Ditto for ITV, but on the plus side, they won't have Weasel Witchel.

Operation Yewtree has finally caught up with him?

[splott parker]

Heard it said that it’s a ‘once in a generation occasion’, I’d imagine the majority of the population will witness at least another one in their lifetime. Isn't Charles in his 70s now? Not interested myself but it gives us all a break from Wrexham this & Wrexham that

When is it? (Serious question) can’t arsed to Google it and I know the responses on here will be more amusing

I’m sure the Queen has to die first..........now that’s seriously out of touch with the royal situation

[goats]

All a bit to churchy and religious for me….I’ll no doubt catch a bit of it as my kids want to see what it’s all about. They really want to watch ‘Dumb and Dumber’ today too apparently so similar type of viewing on the cards.

Complete nonsense of course.

Watching it on tv now having my brekkie. I’m by no means a royalist but just having a bit of a nose and interest - if people are enjoying it though celebrating, and waving their flags I’m all for letting them have their fun.
It’ll be back to doom and gloom in the news next week don’t worry.

What has today got to do with any of those things? Absolutely nothing.

It's like saying the inauguration of a new president in the US is showing support for the Vietnam war, for the purchase of native lands, for wars against Mexico or slavery.

Absolutely ridiculous. Some of you guys have a very very distorted view of British history, which is of course a mixture of good and bad, like all countries.

Do you not think any country should have any traditions or respect for history?

[Swiss Peter]

Just turned on Radio 4 news for further discussion and analysis of the local election results. I should have known better.

you're quite happy to live on 'stolen land'

Not only that. He refers to New York in his name - named after King James II, granted to him by none other than King Charles II! Funny how things go around.

Really his name should be changed to 'Lenapehoking Blue' in honour of the Lenape people, who were the native people's on what is now New York City.

Based on the logic that watching the coronation means supporting all historical wrongs, we can only assume his choice of name indicates support for the destruction of an entire culture!?

Or we could all just chill out and not make such ridiculous assumptions?!

[IanD]

Nice the Coronation has been timed to take attention away from the Tory drubbing in the local elections east of Offas. Clever move by the government. For anyone caught up in Coronation hysteria, the Tories are currently down 1, 061 seats and have lost control of more than half their councils.

indeed.

trawling over the past while ignoring the real sacrifice and great progress made in modern times seems very much an American pastime, it's insufferable.

Yeah, it was the government choice and not, you know, King Charles....

Delusional.

May lost 1300 council seats, remind us how the following general election went.

Probably too small for him.

Yanks 'interventions' and invasions - it's a long, long list :

It really does show what little progression there is in the UK when there are people defending the blue bloods
The worst of societies because they murdered the most and became the most feared...and now you're happy to spunk 100 million on them because of tourism .What a joke.

America spends over £100 million every 4 years to inaugurate their President. Last coronation was 70 yrs ago. The economic benefit to hospitiality, tourism will dwarf that cost. Can't you just be happy rather than echo the grim. bitter misery that pervades on this board whenever non-football matters arise..

43% of the UK voted for a complete cuunt.

How did that go for everyone?

So there will be a huge net profit for this freak day.?

If so let the loons carry on.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Ann Daly from Cardiff on the news

Dressed up in the Welsh dragon

Holding up a cardboard cut out of Charles , she's been there overnight

These people are clinically insane

They are freaks

All those silly tears when lining up to say goodbye to the queen

It's pathetic
