This lady saw the collapse of a once great empire. Sad!
The British “Empire” was an attack against the british peoples, against the conquered peoples, and against the world.
All for short-term profits of a few, at best.
It also blazed the trails of influence which make its heir (replacement) possible.

Liz, the super-conservative, already has a plan to bring in more foreigners. This time we need to prop up the economy because Russia and Covid.
Should have gone for pajeet. Or gotten off the old derrière and installed a government that isn’t foreign owned and operated by you know who.

So, after two years of petty drama, they finally allow Sinn Féin first minister in Northern Ireland.
Is this still the right thread? :P

The Royal Family is a Cancer.
The first giant family of immigrants sucking in millions of public money and committing sex crimes to be deported are the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

millions of public money
I hate how every conversation about Britain’s royal family always devolves into an argument over money. Governments do things all the time without asking “will it be revenue neutral?” Parks, for example, are rarely ever built with the intention of attracting tourists, because they are primarily intended to make life better for the locals. And yet people bicker over the Windsors “costing millions” as if Parliament isn’t pursuing its own schemes wasting billions.
Do people ever talk like this about other royal families? In Spain? The Netherlands? Scandinavia? Morocco? The Gulf States? Brunei? Thailand? Japan? Tonga?

Of course they do. Every monarchy, at least in the modern world, faces some republican opposition.
But people in english-speaking contexts generally, will have stronger opinion on the British monarchy.

Yes, but the “they’re a waste of money” talking point being the mainstay of anti-monarchism seems to be a uniquely British thing. Not just saying they’re unnecessary, but fixating on the relatively small proportion of the state budget spent on supporting them. It seems excessively materialistic to me, especially in contrast to Japan where the monarch’s spiritual role is still taken seriously, despite there being enough atheists to rival Britain.

That’s more than anti-monarchist discourse.
It is a deep rot which is overtaking western, especially anglo, culture.

I have no great love for monarchy, but an archaic institution of birthright
is still preferable to the ruling class being able to appoint
whatever head of state they want for to maximally insult the public.

This story is two weeks old, but Humza Yousaf has resigned as Scotland’s First Minister, after sabotaging his party’s confidence and supply agreement with the Greens for no apparent reason, leaving himself vulnerable to no-confidence votes.
He then devoted most of his resignation speech to whining about racism.

King Charles III got a new portrait of himself as Satan. He recoiled upon seeing it at the unveiling.

Liz ‘The Lettuce’ Truss and Tony Blair’s Indian Clone Rishi Sunak have both been caught trying to flee the sinking ship of their failed government to America like the rodents they are.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a new national service for 18 year olds if his party returns to power.
Ukraine has lost too many men and they can’t print more like they’re printing money, so they need to send Brits over to die to weaken Russia a little.

A lot of people believe the Tories are trying to throw the election on purpose.

Presenting the latest Tory campaign ad: Zero Seats.
Here’s the takeaway:
‘Zero Seats’ is our plan to do anything possible, so that on July 4th, the Conservative Party wins zero seats.
To help us with Zero Seats, we only ask you to simply not vote for us.
Whether you spoil your ballot or vote for anyone else, it does not matter.
If any of you live in Britain, please do your part to make this a reality.

The King should have refused the let them throw a snap election, they’re only doing it to flee to America before the massive price hikes coming this year red line a bunch of people and the NHS delays hit critical mass.
He should of forced the fuckers to do their two more years and clean up their own mess instead doing the same old bollocks of shit the bed so thoroughly the sheet will have to be burned them strut off leaving it to Labor to dig the country out again while they moan and bitch at them for the situation the whole time.
