The Royal Tampon

AIBU to think that Prince Charles should in fact now join in with the protests against the lying Coalition bastards, now that he has seen first hand how his 'subjects' feel not only about the tuition fees, but about the slashing and burning of the welfare state?
As he was chauffuered in his Rolls Royce to attend the Royal Variety Performance (headlined by Take That - (5 millionaires))through the poor who can no longer afford to educate themselves out of poverty - did his royal twatness not consider why these people had taken to the streets?

You do sound a bit dazed, Doris - did you bang your head?

taintedsnow · 05/01/2011 20:19

I understand the post, but am confused about it's relation to sanitary products....

AllOverIt · 05/01/2011 20:20

Uh?

pickyourbattles · 05/01/2011 20:20

No, doris, I don't expect he considered it for one moment. I expect all he was thinking was "How have the great unwashed been allowed to get so close to me, bloody security" .

Tampon was Camilla's icky pet name for Charles.

pickyourbattles · 05/01/2011 20:21

The tampon joke was based on those awful tapes that came to light a few years ago between him and the delightful Camilla.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 05/01/2011 20:21

Prince Charles was recorded some years ago saying he's like to be Camilla's tampon, hence the title, I guess.

GrimmaTheNome · 05/01/2011 20:21

How do you know he doesn't consider it?

But its not his place to interfere in what the elected government are doing.

pickyourbattles · 05/01/2011 20:22

PMSL at "not his place to interfere"! He does plenty of interfering when it suits him though doesn't he?

curlymama · 05/01/2011 20:22

Maybe he did consider it, but violent protest really is beneath Royalty. And anyway, not all his subjects feel the way those twattish students do.

friedtoacrisp · 05/01/2011 20:22

Oh Goody - another hung up bitter twisted harridan with no joy in their heart. It's great here.

mutznutz · 05/01/2011 20:24

I would imagine the idiot thugs who attacked an innocent couple in their car did the protesters no favours...either way, it's not his place to speak out is it?

pickyourbattles · 05/01/2011 20:24

Eh? friedtoacrisp, completely missing the point of your post sorry .

Lucyintheskywithdiazepam · 05/01/2011 20:24

"The tampon joke was based on those awful tapes that came to light a few years ago between him and the delightful Camilla."

aah...so that's the connection. I presumed it was something to do with being stuck up cunts.

Take That - 5 self made men .... mind you

Education - free until 19 - as are libraries, the internet in libraries, books in libraries, the majority of museums. University - bursaries, grants, scolarships for those in need

If you want it, you'll work for it and get it.

friedtoacrisp · 05/01/2011 20:31

I am simply making the point that the OP comes across as a bitter jealous old misery who probably wants to shoot at dawn anyone who owns more than a couple of quid and has a nice car. So here's my tip to help Doris move on in life - Find something real to worry about, go do some voluntary work somewhere, quit agonising about what anyone else has and make your own life good. That's all.
