To not care at all about the King’s coronation?

[northernsunshine]

This is going to infuriate a lot of people but I think we are a nation of fools.

does anyone else really not care? I’m surprised given what’s happening in France there isn’t more opposition to the coronation.

I don't really care about the act of the coronation but I'm looking forward to the bank holiday and all the pomp and ceremony.

Indeed - so strange so many people are being obtuse get it wrong

Are you gonna provide a source?

Youve moaned about the extravagance and are now moaning they’re cutting back 😂

😂😂 it’s just so embarrassing

And actually there’s 7,000 parties planned for the coronation so far

Irish. Could not give a flying one. Will not affect me in any way shape or form AND I don't get a day off.

I know. These ungrateful people who don't appreciate or respect our nation's proud heritage should just sod off to North Korea or somewhere. I for one will be watching the coronation with head bowed in humble reverence. God save The King; long may He reign over us.

I agree with you.

I'm in Scotland and exams were rescheduled as a result of the additional bank holiday.

I'm not planning to engage with it. At the same time, I'm also not planning to disrupt anything and spoil other people's day - as some will no doubt do.

Your belovedyou.govpoll showed a majority not interested in the con a nation
Brilliant typo.😂😂

just like they did with the diamond jubilee and the queen’s funeral.

So, the thousands of people who lined the route when the queen's coffin was driven to Edinburgh were all English people on holiday?

Best post on this thread.

I was more referring to how people don’t know the very basics of a constitutional monarch. But hey, knock yourself out with the ridiculous melodrama. It’s very entertaining for the rest of us.

Ridiculous melodrama is what I do best.

Agreed.

I will go out of my way to avoid watching it. But don't really care if others do. Will be working on the Monday as usual. Traffic will be quieter so nice easy journey to and from work

They will probably cancel it for lack of interest when Haz and Megs say naahhh.... as they don't want to spoil Kate's big day and add to her worldly woes...

I don't mind really, hopefully the last coronation anyway before this country awakens from the brainwashing.

Apparently, coronation chicken was invented in 1953 to commemorate the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II. Are they doing another new sandwich filling this time?

If so I hope it's suitable for vegans.

Yeah it's called a King's Ransom - two stale slices of organic wholemeal bread going mouldy owing to the lack of preservatives containing a thin coating of Duchy Originals Paddington Marmalade Spread all in a recycled wrapper made out from unsold Coronation programmes. £9.99 from Waitrose 😁

At work we get 33 days holiday including bank holidays. So these extra royal bank holiday are taken out of standard year entitlement. Most people are pretty pissed if at having to take another day of holiday in May.

I'm retired so the point is moot personally but if I was forced to take it I would be bloody livid and ranting. That is actually terrible and not widely known.

Every time I see the phrase 'con a nation' written on these threads I get a very strong Trump vibe - it joins the ranks of bigly, china virus, fake news, lock her up, maga. Republicans have the 'best words'.....

Bloody livid and ranting? Really? Bloody livid and ranting? Good lord.

When I read con-a-nation I cringe 😬
along with forelock-tugging

You missed out cap doffing and various combos of serfs/peasants and judicious use of medieval/feudal. All good words no need to get precious about their uses or abuses !
