To have lost interest in the royal wedding because...

[malificent7]

If the council in Windsor wanting to clear homeless out ?

I mean why don't the royal couple open a shelter instead given they are 'humanitarian' ?

How strange that people are happy for taxpayers having to fork out up to £30 million for security for just two people while essential services in Britain are cut to the bone.

I dont suppose we will ever know the full cost of security for any of the royal weddings.

A circus act? Lol
A bunch of clowns perhaps?

nevertheless she's from a background where marriages are tossed aside almost on a whim,

Puzzled what 'background' do you mean?

The security is for "us". It's to protect all the hordes of people who will flood into Windsor that day.

I'm assuming you mean the Hollywood background? In which case I'd agree with you

Yes, I was referring to the Hollywood marriage merry-go-round thing ... apologies for being unclear

I do find it a bit hypocritical that they are asking for charity donations and make out they are all about charity and giving, whilst blowing a hideous amount of money on excess and extravagance for themselves.

I agree with every word of this.

'I do find it a bit hypocritical that they are asking for charity donations and make out they are all about charity and giving, whilst blowing a hideous amount of money on excess and extravagance for themselves.'

This. A family of billionaires whose investment portfolio included the likes of Brighthouse and who actively tax avoid. But they're activists and humanitarians who are going to change the world.

So many extremely pompous comments.

The murder rate in London now equal to New York, huge police cuts, including local police stations across the country shutting down, mental health units across the country shutting down, social services at breaking point, NHS on the point of collapse, disability payments cut or stopped, benefit sanctions, zero hours contracts........ the list goes on and on. But what the hell, as long as the royal family need our money we'll just keep throwing it at them. Bloody obscene, and not an ounce of shame from any of them. Absolutely disgusting. Their entitlement is unbelievable......Your wedding, pay your own bloody security.

I've just took your advice and followed Gary Jannetti - love it

Bread and Circuses!
But not much bread!

As usual, this thread has become 1) about something else and 2) bitchy about the bride. Because given half a chance, let's start poking holes in another woman shall we?!

The original question was about homeless people. I don't think it's fair if they are being 'cleared out' but I don't know enough about how that is being done and if they are being given shelter for the week, but either way, if it is being done for appearance reasons, then it sits wrong with me.

*Lifebeginswithgin the homeless are an eyesore ... WTF ... I'm sure they are all so sorry for making towns look unpleasant. So many things wrong with that comment.

I give zero Fs about it too !!
Going to team up with my sister who also has no interest and do a spa day with no telly !

What should the homeless do, kill themselves?, "well pardon me for being alive", is a phrase that comes to mind. I think the spectacle of a royal wedding in all its pomp and extravaganza is an eyesore. I find that far more offensive than the sight of human beings being forced to live on the streets because of uncaring, callous governments. What are the homeless supposed to do, make themselves invisible.

I have no interest either. She’s a bit up her own arse, but then most celebs are a bit. Harry has always come across as a nice enough chap. But yeah, the herding our of the homeless and the fucking mahoosive bill for security etc that the taxpayer is meeting is sodding outrageous. There’s a lot could be done for £24M.

I would not be the slightest bit surprised if there is either a) some sort of scandal involving Ms. Markle within a couple of years of their marriage or b) they split up within 5 years.

nevertheless she's from a background where marriages are tossed aside almost on a whim.

Of the Queens 4 children Anne, Charles, Andrew are divorced.
Her royal predecessors for centuries have treated marriage like a circus with the right to take ‘mistresses’ at will.
Not sure we can criticise ‘Hollywood’ marriages really.

We all need to wake up from this nonsense and get rid of this over privileged family (and the hangers on) living off taxpayers expense while our NHS and Public Services crumble.

Aww, come on...you only get married once (well, twice for Meghan). But to a Prince;) Personally, I want to go to Windsor to find the Suits cast...Patrick J Adams and Gabriel Macht! It’s worth them getting married to have them all coming to the UK!

My friend today stared about H and M on the ‘ it’s lovely his found love ‘ etc etc. I did agree that he seems a nice man and I don’t wish them ill but - the cost of it all the fact I can’t see it lasting etc - she was not impressed with my views! We agreed to disagree.

@Saltire.... I’m ok with the Queen but how many young riyals can do charity and “open things”.

I think most people don’t mind the Queen really - even most republicans seem to grudgingly agree she’s ok and five her duty.
It’s the others most seem to have a problem with.
