Coronation (5 Viewers)

[fatso]

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

Is it only fat blokes that don't turn you on?

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

Chanting is not an act of violence

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

And the royals could have had their heads lopped off.

Peacefully protest? It’s hardly a deadly weapon.

 

[clint van damme]

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.

That's true enough. Though we've seen less high profile peaceful protests having people lifted for seemingly nothing, though as you say, they're still getting media coverage they wouldn't of back in the day.
I still believe strongly that peaceful protest is a fundamental right in a functioning democracy.

For the same reason the Archbishop of Canterbury needs a microphone?

But the congregation WANT to hear the Archbishop.

Any port in a storm

It could constitute a breach of the peace, or even instigate trouble, either way it ain't going to be allowed, not there, not today.

If your unhappy about it, you could always put in an official complaint to the met

Agree with this, although my conviction Is tested when people start gluing themselves to things…or chucking statues into the briny etc

Pathetic.

And the people gathering for a protest want to hear the organisers…

They can all hear each other chant together in the cells then. And they'll all be warm and dry!

As comebacks go, that’s up there with your classic “NASA can’t be trusted since they faked the moon landings” routine.

 

[Boosh]

Enjoying it so far, no one does it like us. One of those days where you feel incredibly proud to be British

 

[Nick]

Nothing makes you prouder than waving a little plastic flag made in China that'll take 500 years up decompose

You been to watch wasps again?

I'm not bothered about watching any of it either.

I know some people are anti monarchy and I appreciate they have a right to protest, but really what harm does a king do them? Yes they're privileged but so are lots of people. It costs a few quid and some are against that but probably paid more to go out of their way and be a nuisance. I don't like Eastenders or towie or lots of other trash, but I turn over, not sure why they can't do the same. Their choice but really strange unnecessary behaviour imo.

 

[Marty]

Not something I'm interested but I thought I'd stick it on as I'll probably only see 2 in my lifetime, was bored as fuck after 10 minutes and switched it off.

Equally let them peacefully protest without being arrested

Exactly, it’s a flipping democracy. I’m talking about the people who want to tell everyone they aren’t interested. Good nor am I so let the people who are enjoy it

If you are not a royal-watcher, here are five tips for avoiding the Coronation celebrations.

Here you go a few suggestions in case you cant find somjething else to watch

 

[oscillatewildly]

I can’t say I’ve been too excited by it all but just flicked it on as like it or not, it’s part of our country’s history

I'd go along with this - same interest level.
A bit like when I occasionally watch women's football.

Exactly, maybe only those that enjoy such pomp and ceremony should have the extra bank holiday

 

[clint van damme]

Just had to pay a flying visit to Strarford, thought it would be a hotbed of this sort of thing but it was really quiet, could be the weather, which is incredibly shit.

It can't get any more random than this - Just found out Nick Cave was in attendance at the Abbey.

I don’t think Camilla’s going to take her top off at the end…

Good to see him in our away kit under that robe, not sure if it’s the current one or the retro Pony one

I bet he wore it just to piss William off.

They put him at the back, Nick Cave and the bad seats

Everyone at Coventry City Football Club wishes His Majesty King Charles III best wishes on the day of his Coronation. #PUSB


Not quite everyone it would seem according to SBT!

The monarchy is an antiquated system where by people have decided that god has anointed them as a higher power.

over 1000 years they’ve been responsible for countless wars, killing millions of “serfs” and “peasants” in their name, even as close as World War 1 where it was effectively 3 cousins having an argument in the background.

we now have people in poverty whilst we have to have these people swan about in gold carriages and be told - we should be proud. That’s what people protest about.
