The alternative to the coronation? Just coronate him without all the extra fluff. Like the grand opening of my front door every day. Just go in the front door, there's absolutely no requirement for all the additional b0llocks. Nobody is waiting for me with tickertape, balloons, a red carpet and fire cannons when I come home from work.

 

Some people would probably think that about football finals- no need for media hype,  confetti and fireworks during trophy ceremony,  trophy lifting,  draping flags over shoulders and singing the anthem etc.  

 

But at end of the day it is tradition!  You cannot just do away with that suddenly.   That is the point I am making,   I am not even much of a royalist and is swaying between being indifferent to slightly disliking them but people who don't like monarchy have to concede that coronation is a big deal at end of the day especially for one of the most famous royal faily in the world and you cannot just turn a blind eye to that.  

 

There is a underlying feeling that the royal family is approaching the end of their era and I suppose that would be the natural conclusion instead of bloody revolution led by Foxestalk 🤣

Funny you should mention that...breaking news:

 

Man arrested outside Buckingham Palace

A controlled explosion has taken place and a man was arrested outside Buckingham Palace after throwing suspected shotgun cartridges into palace grounds, police said.

Football finals generate tens of millions of pounds in profit, all the fluff around them is to increase profit and create scenes for media, and buzzy shots for sponsors who pay ££££ to have their brands associated with ‘happiness!!’ It’s not tradition. 
 

Traditions are meant to be adapted with time. Do you think the fa cup final looks the same now as it did in 1950? Of course not. Tradition evolves

For all the name calling of those that go down to witness or celebrate the event receive i find it stranger that those that don't approve go down & hold a banner saying "Not my King", if that really is the case why give him / the event the time of day

Perhaps because they'll be arrested in line with the horrifying new anti-protest laws?

So your saying they go down because they want to get arrested?

Because they want their voices heard, they have a right to protest an archaic institution. Things don't change by doing nothing. Look at revolutions that have happened in other countries!. Just because we've had a royal family for centuries doesn't mean we have to continue to have one. Interesting to see if loads of people throw tampons at the royal couple as we all know what Charley boy likes to do with one! .

Won’t be watching but hope it all goes well ..  good luck Charlie boy ..  I’m sure you’ll take over from where your mum left off.  

[jonthefox]

Im very meh about the whole thing. 

[foxile5]

They're using facial scanning technology to police the crowds. Nothing odd or sinister there.

 

Pay piety to your unelected leaders. Bow down.

I’ll be taking full advantage of all the coppers being in London to go out speeding on the roads and maybe commit several other crimes.

That is my point about tradition evolving over time,   it just annoy me for some reason when people expect/to moan for Charles' coronation to pass by without any fanfare with this change being implemented overnight without appreciating it is just not possible.   A weird hill to die on without being a royalist I grant you!

 

Maybe I just need to get out the opposing side of bed tomorrow.

The coronation is a once in a generation opportunity to advertise the UK and its history to the world.  A lot of people come to the UK as tourists to see and experience our history.   So undoubtedly it will drive a significant increase in tourism worth many millions.

True. In this instance it probably will pay for itself tbf. Hopefully local merchants pump up their prices and rinse tourists

Since I was banned for my previous post in here I'll rephrase it:

The royal family should be told to go away in a professional but firm voice and anyone who supports them is a silly goose.

What was your original post?

I'm sure you cant get banned for the same post twice!!!

[leicesterlad1989]

I'd be more arsed if it skipped a generation and it was Willy boy that was being coronated. Instead we are stuck with that sausage fingered bellend.

 

I do feel that as generations pass by, the less people actually care for the Royals. Given it's Charles and not William, I suspect that even more people will stop caring.

 

I am grateful for the extra bank holiday though.
