Okay the last bit is new, but lots of people get a lot of enjoyment from big occasions like this and so what if they do. We get enjoyment from watching multi millionaires kick footballs around whilst we are fed a lie the players give a shit about us. Are we really in a position to criticise?
You know there is a difference between people choosing to spend their own money watching football, and taxpayers paying tens of millions for the coronation. That money could help the real issues that you refer to.

I'm not as much of an anti-monarchist as some on here, but it's hard not to be swayed by things like this, and, for example, how much land the royals own (when in the last 7 years we've heard a lot about how the UK is a small island with not much space for its increasing population).

When the other side of the argument is "yeah but we like football and they're rich so what you gonna do ", it's pretty weak.
