strichener Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's ironic that those that are quite obviously seething about the queen and royalty are the same ones that post about gammon brexiteers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also ironically appropriate that you were the first to reply since you are the epitome of the type that I was speaking about. You might want to look up what irony is, then. It refers to an incongruity between the actual results of a sequence of events and the usual (or expected) results. You can’t just go making up your own definition and applying that to people being angry or visibly opposed to a political situation versus those being angry or visibly opposed to a constitutional one. There is literally no irony in that; folk who laugh at those that get red-faced over something like Brexit or imagined wokeness aren’t somehow unable to find the institution of monarchy and its media saturation ridiculous, nor is it surprising that they would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on the one hand there's the perfectly rational dislike of a head of state selected purely by the accident of their birth, and as admitted by their fan boys has achieved absolutely nothing with her life despite all the incredible advantages and assets at her disposal. And on the other there's going the colour of overcooked ham at the thought of someone in your street/bus/hospital/pub speaking Romanian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when I didn’t say that I was “not bothered” (on contrary, the ongoing existence of a monarchy I do find bothersome). But this is the Durries Freshosaur alias that just has to comment on everything, everywhere, all the time, no matter how inanely. Almost makes you prefer the other Durries account, which at least just sticks to hyperactive Torymania. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I have thought very carefully about watching with @Lex but have eschewed that opportunity in favour of Andrew Matt's "New Elizabethans". However, with barely two minutes elapsed Mr Marr has declared and I quote "during her long reign the queen has presided over a period of unrivalled peace and prosperity" I think he forgot about the constant fighting, including a civil war, over the whole time and to what end? .... foodbanks. If only we'd beaten Iceland in any of the cod wars, we'd have enough to eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
