I feel sick watching king charles

I don't want him as king. I feel sick watching a bit of the coronation this morning. I just caught a bit of it and I felt ill.

We are not subjects. It's 2023.
I don't want to be like an animal with an owner
I don't like the man. He has had so many scandals and bad friends. Why should he be allowed to rule over us.
This stuff shouldn't be going on in 2023.

Anyone think the same?

@Manichean this is exactly my issue. I think it would have been better to have called it a day and passed the baton to William.

Would you have them both wear a scarlet letter? I thought Christians were forgiving.

Oh, so you are conveniently at your AUNT'S house now??? Just conveniently watching and listening to the Coronation, even though you have fuck-all interest in it? Your posts get more batshit by the minute! 😆

Jesus christ. What the actual fuck. Sometimes i read posts on here, and they are so batshit, I think is that person on drugs.

My aunt is round visiting me.

Em that's kind of a normal thing to happen isn't it? To have family, and to have them round visiting at the weekend?

Like seriously , what the actual fuck.

Because I’m not pretending I’m not interested. I am interested.

In the thread? I know you're interested in the monarchy.

Life has stopped for some of the monarchists and they can't imagine anyone carrying on with their normal life while this - in their eyes - monumental event is taking place.

OP you are able to have your opinion, which I disagree with. Be happy that in this country you can still be able to voice it.

I said I have an aunt. This poster said "oh you conveniently have an aunt now".

It's so bizarre, it's kind of funny.

Yes I do have family.

I could say I'm going out to walk my aunts dog . And someone will say. "oh you conveniently have a dog now". Like they don't even know what they're getting annoyed about

But OP isn't carrying on with normal life, she is in her own house feeling physically sick because she is being forced to watch/listen to the coronation.

If you don't like it to the point of physical ailment, maybe don't invite people who want to watch it round to your house?

brunettemic · 06/05/2023 13:25

Love the melodrama of feeling sick 😂 of you don’t like it why does it bother you, it has zero impact on our day to day lives so why eases your energy on it

Not sure about that. A lot of republicans have been arrested for no reason other than their protest, and their anti-monarchy banners confiscated.

When the queen died I was terrified to publicly express the view that while I sympathise with anyone who loses a family member, I felt no grief at her passing because I was mourning the passing of my own close relatives and friends.

Are you usually a sheep? You never question people ruling over you?

But he does not rule over me.
I would happily replace the government sooner, seeing Rishi makes me far more sick than Charles.

Yes of COURSE she is being FORCED to watch it in her house by her own AUNT. Of COURSE that's what's happening.!!! Grin

Henry VIII created the Church of England and he was a serial adulterer who didn't even try to hide it.

@DarrellRiversCriminalBehaviourOrder

True he wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon as she couldn’t provide a male heir. And there was something about funding the War of the Roses too I think. So he had to break with the Catholic Church to allow both of those things to happen.

Neither here nor there. C&M shouldn’t have carried on while they were both married.

What the hell has it got to do with you what she's doing? I haven't seen any of it this morning, but I had intended to take a quick look. Why wouldn't we be curious to see what was going on? We just wouldn't be watching it with the devotion that you clearly have.

dizzydizzydizzy · 06/05/2023 13:33

Feel much the same, OP. DP is insisting on watching it. I'm hiding upstairs with the door shut but I can still hear it.

@KitKatLove

As I’ve already said I can forgive.

But it isn’t appropriate to be defender of the faith and be in such a position of power if you have behaved as Charles and Camilla have.

Conduct of the former Queen was impeccable…. What are we left with now.

Neither here nor there. C&M shouldn’t have carried on while they were both married.

And they shouldn't have brought a naive 19 year old into their nasty, sleazy lives and used her first as a decoy and then as a scapegoat. And you look up to the people capable of this moral depravity? Is it OK now that we're supposed to accept that what happened between C&M was a "love story". What kind of love story is that? Yeuck! But all that aside, that isn't the main reason I object to them.

Stuff? I am not a royalist, but I appreciate that we have a long tradition in this country of both good and bad monarchs who have, by and large ,stopped us as a nation being decimated by despots and fascists, invaded by fanatics and crushed by bigots.

Look around the rest of the world, what “stuff” would you rather we had. A society ruled by corrupt militia , religious fanatics, oligarchs? The choice isn’t wonderful, I will take a bit of ridiculously named officers dressed in fancy outfits parading about every decade or two over someone who tells me what to think at the point of a gun, or makes me cover myself when I go out in the street, or denies me a vote.

There are a great many countries in the world who might view the British Crown as being the invaders, the decimators, the fanatics and the bigots.

Zebedee999 · 06/05/2023 13:37

"felt ill" because she saw a bit of the coronation! God help the country with feeble people like this!

Are you always this batshit? I don't even know how to talk to someone so crazy Seriously.

I don't have the coronation on tv. I'm not watching it at all. My aunt and cousin are not watching the whole thing either. We haven't even been in the house. We have been out for walks. We came back . Made a cup of tea My aunt flicked through and put the coronation on for about ten minutes .

As I said , I walked through the room and I caught a few minutes if it. When Camilla was being crowned. We are now going out if the house again.

Can you please stop being so utterly batshit crazy now. Seriously .

Honestly it's like trying to talk to a wall of insanity
