Charles.
Britain is on the up and up

this one’s for burma and the raj bitch

Not yet according to BBC. Sounds pretty imminent though. They mentioned she remains "comfortable" which sounds like CMO/hospice care aka it's pretty much unavoidable at this point and they're keeping her pain free but not attempting to fix whatever the issue is anymore.

There's basically just mascots at this point. I think if Aus and NZ voted (which won't happen cos who cares) they'd be off it. Charles is already in his 70s if they were smart they'd just skip to his son and maybe (just barely) people would give a shit

They should have made charles king 20yrs ago if they really did care about the monarch, but I think Diana put a wrench in that plan.

Really think "mass stabbings" compare to mass shootings?
There's also this weird thing called Christianity you might of heard of. it erased the records of most of Europe and doomed all those now Christian nations to continue the cycle of misery. No excuse tho. what goes around comes around no empire lasts forever.

England has made many mistakes over the years. But with the turning of every new government we can forgive, forget and move on.
This cunt has overseen all of it... And never made a difference.
The troubles in Northen Ireland. So many innocent men, women and children killed.
The hunger strikers.
She stood over it all. And never spoke up.

She wasn’t Victoria. And she was coronated 5 years after the Raj. If anything E2s reign is significant for any reason, it’s that she ruled while Britain shrank into nothingness.
I can understand the appeal for some for an apolitical head of state that can be an enduring symbol (And I think the money they get should never exceed the tourist dollars that they bring in) - I think unfortunately the Monarchy Machine drilled the apoliticalness of the modern monarchy too deep into her that in order to preserve the monarchy she proved how obsolete it is.
What is significant about her and the tributes today is that she literally did nothing. Sure, she was limited constitutionally, but it stank of cowardice of maintaining one’s status quo to not speak out against Brexit (as one example)

I am fully convinced that when he passes, that date will be an unofficial American holiday. Millions domestically (in the US) will celebrate, not to mention the countless individuals abroad.
I will personally celebrate this day when the day comes and plan on burning an effigy on an annual basis (in addition to barbeque and things of that sort). However, he is going to be the "Walking Dead" president. It will take a long time to manage his legacy and the continued support from the ardent supporters, who support him regardless of what he has said and done.

To me this seems like a perfect time to question what’s the point of the British Royal Family in 2022. The fact that after 70 years all anyone can say about the Queen is that she had great decorum should be enough to tell us that it’s all bullshit. Respectfully.

Yeah I’m pretty tepid on whether or not the monarchy should exist (see previous comment), but something about this outpouring of emotion for someone who didn’t do anything is really starting to rub against me.
Did anyone ever see that play Charles III from like 5+ years ago? I always loved that it somewhat predicted Harry’s life.
It is worth noting - once the Windsors die out, monarchy will end in the UK. They won’t import monarchs from elsewhere like they once did and I highly doubt they’d ever elevate some domestic noble

Is there any indication that the Windsors will die out? The youngest successive heir to the throne was born in 2013 so, should the monarchy sustain, he will be King of England long after everyone reading this has died.

I get the appeal of an apolitical, powerless head of state that provides continuity (like a fancy mascot). It’s just their immense, unjustifiable wealth that I can’t get behind.

Was listening to the always sunny pod and Megan’s husband went to school with Prince William. Apparently when he was 8 he said in class he wanted to be a police man when he grew up and all the kids made fun of him like you’re so stupid you can’t be a cop you’re gonna be the king.
That made me lol

canadian here, the monarchy is fucked , its all fucked

I was in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago- strangely there's still more jubilee stuff up than you'd find anywhere in the UK.
On another note, I had no appreciation for the level of opiate addiction in Canada, though everything else was lovely. I've never seen anything like it.

Pissed that the only ones who get a stat holiday here in Canada are those fuckin spudheads in PEI.

it's hard to justify the monarchy at all in the modern world but when religion was more important in society the monarchy was literally thought to be sacred and their bloodline was divine, so basically they could do no wrong to the plebs

By no means a complete list
Never forget the English learned how to colonize with the Welsh first.

I heard a somewhat thought-provoking quote from C.S. Lewis relating to the function of a monarchy:
“Where men are forbidden to honor a king, they honor millionaires, athletes, or film stars instead; even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.”

CS Lewis was just mad that people liked jack Johnson or whoever was popular more than Jesus in 1930-who gives a fuck. Perhaps he should write an even less thinly veiled novel series about a big cat that can talk and save souls

Yes, of course nothing he said is of any value because he was Christian. You’ve peeked through the looking glass.

That quote doesn't seem all that poignant, precisely because of his being Christian. Elizabeth didn't want to be Queen but came to view it as ordained, and people like Lewis revere them accordingly. Many of the UK's imperialist excesses, to put it euphemistically, are then easily chalked up to 'mysterious ways'. But it really isn't so mysterious, is it? The honoring of millionaires, athletes, film stars (all the same to Lewis I guess) is hardly more gratuitous, and often far less poisonous, than that of royals.
Also, C.S. Lewis and Lewis Caroll were two different people.

He's definitely talking about venerating god there though.

I think he was too. It’s cool debating with you because it reminds me of how I felt about the world when I was in eighth grade.

Well they also probably picked up some tips watching the Romans colonize them first. The french and Scandinavians had a taste of England too.

And in the 13 colonies. That is, until we kicked them the fuck out so we could do it ourselves.

It was pretty tight that Cockburn burned the white house down with the help of freed slaves

Gotta say I am enjoying all the miserable martial music blarting out of my tv. I'm on a big clean up around the house, and I find it a really good soundtrack.
