Coronation rant
Well I for one am absolutely disgusted at the coronation. It was the most blatant Display of the ‘haves’ flaunting what they have stolen from the ‘have nots’ I have ever seen.
First major theft
Between £100 million and £250 million cost of the coronation paid for by taxpayers
WTF!!! Who sanctioned that off? Do they not realise we have a cost of living crisis, many of their subjects are living below the breadline, can’t afford to heat their homes, can’t afford to buy the food their family needs, our country has been robbed and pillaged by the conservatives. And someone somewhere sanctioned upto £250 mil for a glorified party for the elite!!
Firstly, they should have paid for it themselves. Who pays for your child’s party? Or for your wedding? You and if you’re lucky, your family chip in. If someone told me the state would pay for my wedding for example, yes I might get a very expensive dress, I might have a free bar and some might see that as piss taking. But how about having hundreds of horses and guards paid to practice for months to put on an elaborate display in the streets? The security (yes they need a lot of security because their stealing from the people) all that money for what?? History, tradition? You can stick tradition where the sun doesn’t shine if it means that we the tax payers have far less for us for the next few years.
Can you imagine what would happen if that money was shared between the poorest 30% in this country? That would a country I would be proud to be part of, I am not proud of that disgusting coronation.
Second major theft
All the robes and jewels and wealth displayed which reflects the brutal thievery from other countries, from the commonwealth, which they have amassed and kept over the years. Can you imagine if those things were sold and the proceeds given to those who need it most? That is a country I would be proud of.
The people invited are mainly elite and rich. So yet again, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And the rich use the poor peoples money to pay for all of the security to stop the poor from protesting against this blatant theft.
I disagree with a class system because it upholds the belief that we are not all equal. I am a huge fan of equality and I hate bullying, theft, and enforcement of class.
We need to find a peaceful way to end the royal family. It’s outdated and doesn’t represent our country.
End the monarchy now
And yes, I know there are other threads about this, we need to keep taking about it...

The abolition of the monarchy is not in the hands of the royal family it’s in our hands the people so you need a political party to make it their election platform.

I agree with you, OP.
The rich get richer because they are shameless. Let the plebs pay.

We need a revolt

Just because people don't agree with you does not meant hat they are incapable of critical thinking.

We need to learn critical thinking, people only repeat parrot fashion what the media and newspapers tell them. When are we all going to think long and hard about what is happening to us? The elite are shafting us

Let me guess, you aren't using food banks and you aren't opting to not heat your home, therefore your critical thinking didn't need to go to those places?

We broke even on the costs with all the revenue brought in from TV rights etc. so didn’t cost us. Lots of business made to with all the coronation stuff sold. It also gave the U.K. something once to celebrate as let’s face it it has been a hard couple of years. We did the country proud. Love them or hate them it is a tradition and we have lost so many British values. Can’t loose another.
