Fullerene Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Coronation Chicken and now Coronation Quiche. Is this not just another debate about the chicken and the egg? Oh dear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I get the impression that this kind of cultural puff is more to do with journalists assuming that what they're doing at dinner parties with their pals in North London reflects greater trends across the nation, because they are the centre of the universe. Organisations like Sky and the BBC regularly choosing to publish (or commission) this keich? Aye, that's brainwashing. Anyway, this polling is interesting as I'm sure I remember support for the monarchy being about 50/50 in Scotland back in the Nineties, less than anywhere else in the UK. It also implies that a good solid chunk of Unionists are at least ambivalent about remaining subjects of a family because of magic blood. Nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I just noticed that on the BBC website. "People watching the Coronation will be invited to join a "chorus of millions" to swear allegiance to the King and his heirs, organisers say." I know there's been a lot of comparisons to totalitarian regimes like North Korea lately, but fucking hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember it having the aggressive title of "Do You Want a Monarchy?", which conjures up images of a wee-lubricated Stewart offering someone out for not being deferential enough. Sadly, it was apparently called Monarchy: The Nation Decides, although I do remember the vague "shit, we didn't expect this" consternation in the studio when Scotland narrowly voted Naw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I honestly thought that once the Queen died it'd be the beginning of the end of the monarchy. It just seems to be going from strength to strength with no one batting an eyelid about Camilla getting a 'Queen' style title and this mental vow they're wanting people to chant. The UK is fucking mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
