Coronation (6 Viewers)

[Deleted member 5849]

Not really a reason to watch but to each their own.

Is for me. I'm fascinated by heritage and tradition, how it continues, how it's manufactured, how it embeds into society, how people react to it...

Plus I quite like a spot of bombastic choral music!

Depends if you’ve got an interest in our country’s history i guess.

What a daft thing to say but again, to each his own.

It’s the same general display as all the other times. Just with the added extra of dissenters getting arrested.

Yes the music is good, Holst, Britten and Williams, Bryn Terfel very good

Just got the boy to nap, so off goes Peppa Pig and on goes the coronation. Not overly interested but am glad I've made it just in time to see the crown get popped on before I clean the bathroom.

I'd abolish the monarchy. It's a ridiculous institution and it's obscene that they have so much wealth. There are many homeless people in the area where all this is taking place.

I actually prefer him to his late mother, who received an undeserved positive press in my view. At least he does seem to be fairly enlightened on the environment. She was prepared to spend our money to keep Andrew out of the Courts. He does have some crazy views especially on alternative medicine and he sees nothing wrong with having so much privilege.

Shocking that people can't protest peacefully against this.

There are so many homeless in every country without the monarchy, it’s naive to think this is solved through removing them, not sure any country exists without the same problem, all of us have a part to play in that problem and addressing it but our politicians should be held to account on this as they do have power to change it.

At least then we could abolish the a*******s wandering around with dead animals on their heads and give the horses an early retirement.

I am glad to see the support for the protestors on here, I remember the dog shit abuse (and actual dog shit) being chucked at me many moons ago when I was protesting at Brandon and Antree.

Very Christian speech from Sunak, a Hindu

 

[CCFCSteve]

I'm the same, if people do, then fair enough. But people not being allowed to peacefully protest is a disgrace and an embarrassment.

Would’ve been hung in the old days, they should count themselves lucky

Didn’t realise you needed much of a reason to watch telly on a Saturday morning, but anyway - it sounds like a good reason to me.

Ditto a few monarchs

 

[TomRad85]

Seriously though just get that crown on, I have a poor attention span anyway and the remotes starting to twitch in my hand.

Would help the fact we have a 74yo starting out on his kingly journey, if we did a spot of competing and murdering in between!

 

[olderskyblue]

I quite enjoy all the pageantry that goes with it.

“Not my king” well stay the f*** away then…

People pay their tax contributions towards this shit, in a functioning democracy, which we just about still are, they should have a right to protest.

Naaa, f*** em

That would get you arrested too...

 

[Mr Panda]

Preferred the energy the black choir brought to a dull affair, but got to admit Zadok the priest is a banger

 

[clint van damme]

At least someone's happy with the police state we're walking in to.

Knew you'd take Rebecca Rabbits side

 

[SBT]

LOL at him getting anointed to the tune of the Champions League theme…..just need Clive Tyldesley to hop on the mic now

Well, I was joking, but… I recall what it was like 40 + years ago, and you got arrested for much less, so it’s actually improved since then…

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Well at least if Putin invades Charles has a sword with which to defend us.

My grandaughter was hoping he would have the iron throne from GoT..

40 years ago I was going on marches, I've got to say I don't think it was worse than this.
ANL/NF marches often turned violent and lead to arrests but I don't recall people getting arrested just for turning up!

 

[Macca]

Not interested, but hey I’m not interested in floats of fat blokes in bondage gear at Pride either. So I don’t watch and adopt the each to their own mentality. Let people get happiness out of what they want, the world is a miserable fucking place at the best of times

You used to go on NF marches? Blimey…

Equally let them peacefully protest without being arrested

It wasn't down to political conviction, I just needed somewhere to show off my 14 hole ox blood docs with yellow laces!

I went on ANL marches and counter protests to NF marches, but I think you knew what I was saying!

 

[djr8369]

They are giving out flags at STP, when I said "no" to them, you would have thought I committed treason.

There’s some irony there really seeing as a republic was established then the monarchy brought back to prop it up.

If we can bring the monarchy back after winning a civil war we can have another Brexit vote.

What do you need a megaphone for at a "peaceful" protest?

The thing is, 40+ years ago, at a major event similar to todays, we wouldn’t have known what was happening to any protesters unless the press wanted us to know, or it was your mate down the pub who got arrested. (and he’d have had the shit beaten out of him as well)

the heightened security for an event like this means different rules I suspect. I doubt any of your marches corresponded with a major event like this.
