The Coronation disgusted me, bring down the monarchy

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 It’s outdated and doesn’t represent our country.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...

I'm watching the Patrick Grant programme about making the costumes and uniforms for the coronation. It reflects what I see when I watch the coronation, all the skill, training, work that goes into everything, all the music, the choirs and bands, the people who make the uniforms, the people who look after all the carriages. All the traditional firms that make the clothes and cloth and helmets. These are good jobs, not zero hours contracts, jobs with training and continuity and satisfaction. Not to mention all the full hotels and restaurants and busy pubs in London.
All to the servicemen and women are they the "elite"
Big state occasions cost a lot but that money is spent here, it's a good cash injection into some sectors of the economy at a time when the government is he'll bent on carrying on with austerity (😡). It will benefit a lot of people that aren't part of the "elite".
Shall we cancel all big events that are expensive and don't let everyone join in? The Olympics? ( Actually I think that's not as bad idea...)
I think there were a lot of ordinary people invited and a distinct lack of lord and ladies in coronets and ermine compared to the old days.
I do however have an issue with the arrests of protesters but I blame Suella for that not Charles.

A simple solution.

We pay an optional monarchy tax, which covers the cost of the royals and their palaces.

Its optional, if you dont want a day off work for funerals/coronations dont pay it.

Im sure that will settle the debate once and for all.
