I've just seen the North West news with Meghan Markle and her husband on a walkabout in Blackpool. Some old bat was really thrilled saying "they are just like normal people".

 

Yes. Yes they are. Their shit stinks and they can't lick their elbows. Now stop tugging the forelock and stop buying them fucking palaces.

At least The Guardian has had the good sense to keep the more important topic of climate change as its main subject. Huffington Post went full cap doffing and relegated it’s climate emergency story in favour of the sprog.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only republican I know, then I pop into the GF for some bubble reassurance and feel ok, thanks everyone.

From watching the news coverage you would think the entire world loves the British Royal family. 

 

They spent some of yesterday reporting on how other countries reported on news of the Royal Baby, not surprisingly it was 100% positive.

I'm as against royalty as anyone else on here but I think calling an innocent baby a parasite is a bit much. 

All babies are parasitic on their mum. This one will stay a parasite on the state.

I'm proud to have been a 5 year old republican atheist who still believed in Santa.

Amen to that. People need to separate their hatred of the system from hatred of innocent people.

As a Canadian (and therefore someone who doesn't have to pay for them) who's read history all his life, I actually like our Royals. There's something to be said about institutional continuity and respect for, and valuing of, one's history. 

 

But this pretence that they're somehow "better" than anyone else is hilarious. And maybe just a tad offensive to the past 200 hundred years. After all that's part of our history, as well.
