Hi,

This is one song you won't hear on the radio or TV just now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqrAPOZxgzU

For background info see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Save_the_Queen_(Sex_Pistols_song)

The purpose of figureheads like the Royals is to have a continuity of national identity and leadership that floats above daily politics - but preserving that notion inevitably becomes an elaborate sham, just like politics.

I guess some things about the Queen and Prince Philip were admirable, but there is SFA to like about their replacements.

There is nothing sham about it. It is what it is.

King Charles is fine. He has done a lot of good things, promoting good

BULLSHIT. No royal ever does anything of the sort.

It always has been.

Nothing like politics in fact given that we can give
the politicians the bums rush when they have passed
their useby date, but its much harder with a royal.

> I guess some things about the Queen and Prince Philip were admirable,

Can't think of any with Liz, she royally fucked up the
lives of many of her immediate family with her stupidity.

Phil at least was useful during the war and had
a good line in smart arsed remarks when Liz
was opening stuff or welcoming wogs and coons.

> but there is SFA to like about their replacements.

Bill might not be too bad, but is a complete
waste of stupid amounts of money, fortunately
on the stupid pom's money.

Remember, he was banned for the BBC for hinting something very dark about Jimmy Saville.
Saville was a *notorious serial child abuser* - being protected by the BBC.
Now totally dishonoured.

IMO:

The BBC is the most corrupt broadcast organisation in the UK.
Here, the ABC occupies that same exact role.
Not one honest person left working for either.

Been that way, for decades.

Monarchies survive because their subjects like them. How else would they
survive?

The British monarchy must be doing something right.

Wrong, as always. The general public, who are nothing
even remotely like some royal parasite's subjects, hardly
ever get any say on whether the royal parasites get to
continue to be royal parasites.

> How else would they survive?

By the general public hardly ever getting any say on
the royal parasites.

> The British monarchy must be doing something right.

In reality, the poms actually are that stupid.

Look at the fools standing around in the rain outside
Buck House when the corpse of some stupid 96 year
old is at the opposite end of the fucking country.

All the public would have to do is vote a government in which would
dismantle the monarchy.

Or they would vote to dismantle in in a referendum.

The fact they haven't done this means that the public supports the monarchy.

Trouble is that the only two that have any possibility
of being the govt never have that as their only issue.

But the poms never have a referendum on that.
